Yeah… they’re going to buy back a lot of those cars. Worse than a safety defect, they were flat out false advertising. This is what you get from trying to be the biggest, rather than just making the best possible product.
the credit card agreement in section 10 has a “Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury” provision. “In the event of any dispute or claim relating to this agreement, customer agrees that such dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration”
That would only be for disputes related to the card. More likely they would argue that people suing would not have standing anymore because they had already taken a payout for their cars in the form of the card. You should never accept or use a thing like this nor cash a check.
to get the $1000, 500 of it is on a prepaid debit card which in article 10 of the card agreement has a binding arbitration clause. “This agreement contains an arbitration provision requiring all claims to be resolved by way of binding arbitration”
As I recollect when purchasing my Sportwagen new in 2013 the TDI engine cost $3000.00 more than the standard gas power plant. Without even speaking to the probable devaluation of the vehicle’s resale value it seems VW aught to at least recompense us for the extra price of this engine.
With that said I love to drive the car and I get from 35 to more than 40 MPG and it has good power in the Colorado altitudes and quite acceptable acceleration as well. I certainly don’t want to lose any power nor fuel economy.
I see so many gigantic four wheel drive diesel pickup trucks bellowing huge quantities of black smoke for us all to breath and have recently heard about a fad of idiots who actually inject oil into their diesel exhausts so they billow even larger amounts of black particulates, etc.. These pickups have engines three times the size of the 2 liter TDI and these “huffer” guys seem to delight in flooring their machines every time they accelerate. It feels like we are all being metaphorically flipped off by them each time they leave a huge cloud of pollution for us all to breath in.
On the other hand I can see nothing and smell almost nothing (especially when at operating temp.) from TDItailpipes and it makes me wonder about who is actually doing the most deleterious air pollution here.
Boyd, you don’t seem very upset at VW for falsely advertising their clean diesels. These clean diesels are also very polluting. It you had a gas powered car with a catalytic converter, you wouldn’t be emitting much pollution at all.
My 2013 TDI Beetle, 13000 miles trade in only 11,000. Local VW dealers S. calif. lies and lies again again. I lost so much money and VW should buy back my car that i paid for 26K. All my hard working money.

Use it for a credit to buy new polluting VW. I don’t think this gesture will go far for the customers.
There is no such thing as buying goodwill. It is not a commodity like iPhones or potatoes.
