Government accused of being “phenomenally complacent” over Volkswagen Emissions Scandal

The Transport Select Committee and consumer groups have accused the government of being “phenomenally complacent” over the Volkswagen Emissions scandal, and have even accused Department for Transport minister, Mr Robert Goodwill, of helping to protect Volkswagen’s reputation.

Both consumer groups and MP’s have criticised government ministers who remain unwilling to say one way or another whether Volkswagen have broken the law. Members said that lawyers acting for VW would be “popping Champaign corks” after Mr Goodwill’s failure to look at a criminal prosecution.

Mitsubishi admit manipulating emissions data

We’ve been waiting for it to happen – several other manufactures have already been investigated by the authorities on suspicion of misleading emissions data following on from the Volkswagen scandal.

Following internal investigations, Mitsubishi Motors has admitted their employees have manipulated emissions data which has led to their offices in Japan being raided by the authorities.

In a scandal that has an almost identical feel to the Volkswagen Emissions scandal, bosses at the Japanese car giants have released statements confirming that employees have misrepresented data.

Reports are in: Volkswagen recall will increase in fuel consumption and reduce engine performance

We said right from the start of our action that it’s important to remember two key things at the heart of the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal:

The second point has remained an ongoing question; what were Volkswagen so scared of happening that made them take the inappropriate decision to misrepresent their vehicles as opposed to acting fairly and being honest?

Deep down, we always knew what the reasons would be…

Volkswagen Emissions Scandal – will dieselgate victims win the battle for compensation?

Despite all of this, and despite the fact that the law is (in our minds) very clear in terms of the responsibility that Volkswagen has to compensate people, they are refusing to offer victims affected by their cheat devices any compensation at all.

So what does this mean for the victims?

Thousands have joined our action as VW Group cars continue to lose value

First, they said they would look at compensation for UK victims; and then they did a u-turn and have since tried to suggest that the values of vehicles affected by the emissions scandal have not lost any value at all.

As compensation looks likely in the USA, victims here in the UK are left uncertain as the UK wing of the German car giants at the centre of the scandal seem adamant in denying UK victims compensation.

As our action grows stronger and stronger every day, our clients concerns about the value of their vehicles are entirely justified.

Rogue Engineers – latest in the VW Emissions Scandal

We said that more and more would come out of the woodwork as time goes by, but this latest development in the Volkswagen emissions scandal has left our legal team and commenting clients in shock.

Questioning of bosses in the US has revealed that chiefs are blaming a small number of software engineers who are responsible for the defeat devices, with motives that remain unknown. They admit it’s hard to believe, and we agree – it’s very hard to believe indeed!

So the latest is that a small number of ‘rogue engineers’ have decided to do this off their own backs, without the knowledge of bosses. How on earth can we be expected to believe such things?

Which car maker is next?

There is growing speculation that the Volkswagen Group – which includes Audi, SEAT, and Skoda – is not the only car manufacturing giant hiding a secret. Since the breaking of the news that Volkswagen have been fitting defeat devices in to vehicles to cheat emissions testing, many car owners are concerned that their own brand may also be hiding something.

So which car maker is next? Some have already spoken out and stated they do not use ‘defeat devices’ but given the scale of this scandal, how can we be convinced?
