Ok so I am really pissed about this one and not for what you think . I don't give a rats ass about VW and would never own one and find there cars to be some of the ugliest on the road . My pisser here is that Hyundai has done the exact same thing in the past and are outright lying mf's as I held an oil leaking shock from my 2013 elantrash gt in my hand showing it to them and they still told me there was nothing wrong with it ffs .
Also as with VW , Hyundai keeps consistanly lying about the mpg's . My car is supposed to use 4 to 6 litres of gas per 100 klm's highway . It's always from 9 to 14 litres per 100 klm's . I barely get 400 klm's out of a 60 litre tank .
I recently rented an F150 pickup and I was averaging 10 litres per 100 klms . So a 4500 lb vehicle with a v8 ,300hp engine gets better fuel economy than my 1.8 litre 143 hp 3000 lb car .
Hyundai gave me a whopping $250 for the fuel discrepancy . My friend owns a Ford CMAX and her car was off by 1klm per litre and Ford refunded her $600 frakin dollars .
What I want to happen to Hyundai is what is happening right now to VW . They are both at fault and I am so hoping for the authority's to bring the hammer down on Hungdie as they are doing with V wuble u...
Your lucky . This is a short rant because right now I feel really tired and not just physically , but mentally having to deal with these lying dirtbag Hungdie manufacturer ... ... ...VW, GM , Dodge, Hungdie , Toyota , Honda ... The worst of the worst this bunch ...

well ,they know they have a product that many of us need/want don't they? all of the auto companies
but it is not just cars
i trust very little or not at all when companies that make anything start slapping govt nouns on things--like "organic, free range, low carb, fresh, etc,etc"
in fact the more something IS HYPED as being better, the less i trust it
i will only trust it after I have had it/used it-then I believe
this is what I was saying a while back about grocery stores
a store like say (i'll make it up) WELL ROUNDED DIET FOODS--I wouldn't trust the water there
they can place labels and certifications and any other label they want to-as wel las the literature and web sites to back it--none of that makes it true. all that is true is that they know what drives so many consumers today. they will create droves of mega bit files and reams of paper to "prove" that their items are fresh,wholesome or organic
take organic--how can we trust this when the USDA allows the company producing the items to self inspect? we can't
it is very akin to what VW has done-say "we have this awesome onboard comp system that will control your emissions..." then re write or manipulate the code to pass every test and make it appear that their cars are "earth friendly", etc
smoke and mirrors, mirrors and smog
