\"VW<\/a>
Will VW Survive The<\/strong>\u00a0Lies?<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It has been weeks since the VW emissions scandal broke, but consumers are still expressing their anger spurred by this automaker\u2019s emissions test cheat.\u00a0 VW has revealed that 11 million cars are affected worldwide.\u00a0 As the story unfolds, it is important that consumers have all of the details.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

A major selling point pushed by VW is excellent fuel economy particularly that their vehicles get better gas mileage in real world conditions, as compared to during Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laboratory testing.\u00a0VW has been advertising this to entice potential buyers to choose a VW for years.\u00a0 However, this is only because the same defective device used to manipulate emissions, which has led to legal consequences and the involvement of defective device lawyers<\/a>, also stifled the fuel economy during laboratory testing.<\/p>\n

So, not only do owners of the affected models have to worry about emissions, but they also have to worry about a decline in fuel economy once their vehicles have been repaired.\u00a0 The CEO of VW United States has only promised that, once repaired, the vehicles will meet \u201csticker fuel economy,\u201d which is significantly less than results the vehicles were getting on the road. If you’re facing these issues, it’s crucial to consult a vehicle accident lawyer<\/a> for guidance on your rights and potential legal recourse.<\/p>\n

If you or someone you know owns a recalled VW model, contact a Board Certified personal injury attorney<\/a> to evaluate your potential claim.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
