Fiat Chrysler emissions compensation

Since the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal hit the headlines in 2015, a number of other carmakers have been subjected to accusations of emissions fraud. Fiat Chrysler emissions are under scrutiny over allegations suggesting that the FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) Group could be involved in the use of illegal defeat devices as a means of cheating emissions tests. Like other carmakers, they strongly deny that this is the case.

In our view, the ongoing diesel emissions scandals could represent one of biggest violations of consumer rights ever seen, with potentially millions of car owners who could be affected internationally. We immediately saw that the Volkswagen scandal had breached the trust invested in the company by so many customers, and so we initiated High Court action against the company in January 2016 soon after the allegations hit the headlines.

Having played a pioneering role in the Volkswagen Group Litigation Order (GLO) case, we now want to ensure that all those affected by emissions scandals have a chance to claim compensation. Our experience has given us the strength to hold huge corporations to account. Pursuing group actions, we bring the strength of numbers to our fight against carmakers.

Fiat Chrysler investigations and allegations

Investigations into Fiat Chrysler emissions began in Europe as early as 2016, when the German Transport Ministry reportedly requested that the European Commission should look into the use of potential defeat devices in FCA vehicles. The alleged devices are said to be in use for the purpose of cheating emissions tests, as they were in the Volkswagen scandal.

Later, in 2017, French prosecutors reportedly began a criminal investigation into Fiat Chrysler over alleged emissions cheating. Since then, FCA offices in countries across Europe are understood to have been raided in relation to alleged defeat device investigations.

The carmaker continues to deny that they have done anything wrong at all.

Fiat Chrysler emissions claims

We believe that many vehicle owners may be eligible for Fiat Chrysler emissions claims without knowing, if allegations are proven to be true. The FCA Group encompasses brands such as Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, and Ram Trucks. Those who have owned or leased cars under any of these brands could be entitled to claim compensation if the allegations against FCA prove to be true.

We believe that the alleged deceit of FCA could provide a clear basis for claims. If FCA or its dealerships are found to have misled customers into believing their vehicles were compliant with emissions regulations, but they were producing excessive NOx emissions instead, this could constitute a breach of consumer law. In some cases, there may also have been a breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPUT), such that claimants could recover up to 100% of the original price paid for their vehicles.
