Volkswagen Class Action Lawsuit Venue

Our office is filing claims on an individual basis.  We expect settlement or resolution within 6 months to a year, a compared with the 2-3 year time period expected with class action.

Venue for the Volkswagen diesel emissions class action has been discussed in several publications.  The Center for Class Action Fairness, has argued  that the Volkswagen cases—all consumer class actions—should be coordinated before a single judge who could ensure fairness to all class members. That filing follows more than 300 class actions brought against Volkswagen in the United States.  Consumers allege they were duped into paying premium prices for “clean diesel” cars that the EPA has said emit as much as 40 times the standard for nitrogen oxides.

“The scandal erupted last month, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notified Volkswagen that some of its diesel cars made since 2009 had a “defeat device” in them designed to cheat emissions tests in violation of the Clean Air Act. The devices are believed to be in 482,000 cars in the United States. Volkswagen said on Oct. 15 it was recalling 8.5 million vehicles in Europe.”   Volkswagen Litigation Provokes Criticism in Rare Form, Amanda Bronstad, National Law Journal, Read more: www.law.com/#ixzz3pIs9Cm3w

Component: ENGINE
Summary:
VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, AND THE ENGINE FAILED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. WHILE ON THE PHONE IT WAS CLEAR THAT I WAS NOT IN A SAFE POSITION, SO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER EXITED THE VEHICLE WHEN THERE WAS A BREAK IN TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO GET ACROSS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, BEHIND A GUARDRAIL. WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH 911 SOMEONE SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND NO OTHER CARS WERE AFFECTED. BOTH VEHICLES WERE INOPERABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SCENE. I WAS TOLD BY THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP THAT AN ENGINE COIL BROKE OFF, AND BACKFED INTO THE HARNESS, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL. IN ADDITION, I HAD JUST BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE THAT MORNING, AND HAD DRIVEN 8 MILES WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP, AND THAT ENGINE PARTS FAILED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THIS PART, AS I HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT PUT ME IN AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION, AND I WANT TO REPORT THIS IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PIECE, SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

Summary:
THIS IS A SEPARATE INCIDENT (I JUST FILLED A COMPLAINT ODI 10401437. SAME VW TIGUAIN. THE WEEKEND OF 4/30/11 AND 5/1/11 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING WEIRD. I WAS WATCHING THE TACHOMETER AND IT WANTED TO RED LINE, IT WAS SKIPPING GEARS, AND AT TIMES WANTED TO STALL OUT. THIS WAS VERY, VERY SCARY. IF I WENT TO PASS SOMEBODY THE VEHICLE WOULD SKIP GEARS AND NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, AT TIMES IT WOULD CATCH THE CORRECT GEAR AND WANT TO RED LINE (7,000 RPMS) I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO GET IT TO SWITCH TO THE CORRECT GEAR. I PULLED OVER TO A REST STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, IT WAS IDLING UNDER 800 RPMS AND WANTED TO STALL OUT. I SHUT IT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED IT ON, IN REVERSE IT WAS IDLING UNDER 800 RPMS AND WANTED TO STALL I GAVE IT GAS AND DROVE IT HOME. I BROUGHT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/2/11 THEY HAD THE CAR FOR THE DAY AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND TO COME PICK IT UP, NOW THEY CALLED ME AT 4:35 PM THEY CLOSED AT 5:00 PM. I WAS SO UPSET I SAID LETS TAKE A RIDE WITH AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, NOW, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS VERY, VERY SCARED THE WEEKEND PRIOR TO THIS, SO I WAS SPEAKING LOUDLY ON THE PHONE AND BASICALLY THROWING A FIT BECAUSE I KNEW THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! SO I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WAS PRESENT WHEN I ARRIVED, I HAD BEEN CRYING BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC ASKED ME IF HE COULD TAKE IT HOME I SAID ABSOLUTELY, AND THE DEALERSHIP SET UP A RENTAL FOR ME FREE OF CHARGE. I GUESS WHEN THEY SPOKE TO ME OVER THE PHONE AND SAW ME IN PERSON THEY WERE CONVINCED I WAS NOT MAKING THIS UP. THE NEXT DAY THEY REPLACED 2 FUEL INJECTORS AND EXPLAINED TO ME IT WAS NOT THE TRANSMISSION. THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND I THOUGHT IT STILL WAS NOT CORRECTED, BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND TOLD IT WAS NOT MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

Summary:
I OWN A VW 2009 TIGUAN (THIS IS A SPLIT YEAR AND MINE IS THE OLDER VERSION PURCHASED IN 2008). ON 5/19/10 I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. II NOTICED IT WAS STEERING DIFFERENTLY A WEEK OR SO PRIOR TO THIS DATE. I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE IMAGINING THIS UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN I LEFT FROM WORK AND WAS ON MY WAY HOME THE CAR LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING ALTOGETHER (COMPLETE LOSS) FOR UNDER 2 SECONDS. I WAS LIKE OH MY GOD WHAT, AND THEN BEFORE I KNEW IT I WAS UNDER CONTROL AGAIN. THEN AGAIN THE NEXT DAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. ALMOST LIKE OLDER CARS WHO HAVE THE FLUID RUN OUT OF THEM (THIS CAR I WOULD FIND OUT HAS A STEERING HARNESS AND I BELIEVE NO FLUID). THE STEERING WHEEL ICON CAME ON MY DASH BOARD, IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. IT ENDED UP AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE, THEY LOANED ME A RENTAL AND THEY IMMEDIATELY FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS THE STEERING HARNESS. THIS PART TOOK A LONG TIME TO COME IN, I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK ON 6/7/10. *TR

Summary:
2009 TIGUAN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM – WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR (AVERAGE SPEED ABOUT 15MPH) AFTER MOVING A LITTLE I APPLIED THE BREAKS NORMALLY AND AS SOON AS THE PEDAL WAS PRESS THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A LOUD BEEP. ELECTRONIC BREAK WAS NOT TOUCHED NOR THE “AUTO HOLD” FEATURE WAS ENGAGE. VEHICLE APPEAR TO WORK PROPERLY BUT DURING THE NEXT 3 REMAINING MILES MORE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO COME ON AND STAYED ON. BRAKE LIGHT FIRST, THEN AIRBAG FAILURE, THEN ABS, THE ESC, POWER STEERING… AFTER ARRIVING HOME SAFELY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON, WHEN TURNED ON MORE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND EVEN ONE FRONT HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT (HEADLIGHT COULD HAD BEEN A COINCIDENCE BUT I WILL NEVER KNOW) TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT A SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING, THEY REPLACE THE SENSOR ALONG WITH SOME OTHER THINGS. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BEEN WORKING FINE BUT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS NOT QUITE RIGHT. SOMETIMES, WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WON’T OPEN OR CLOSE UNLESS CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WON’T COME ON WHEN DOOR IS OPENED – SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN THAT HAPPENS BUT IT STARTS NORMALLY. ABS SEEM TO ENGAGE IN CIRCUMSTANCE THAT IT SHOULDN’T. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AFTER THAT AND THEY SAID THE CAR IS PERFORMING NORMALLY AND THEY CANNOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT, BUT I’M CONCERN THE CAR MIGHT FAIL ANY MOMENT. *TR

ONCE I RESTART THE ENGINE, I HAVE NO PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE THE INITIAL START ONLY- IF I START IT TWICE I HAVE NO PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THE US AND NOW LIVE IN CANADA, SO MY WARRANTY IS NOT COVERED UNLESS I DRIVE IT TO THE US- SCARY THOUGHT CONSIDERING THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD! *TR

I DIDN’T TAKE IT UNTIL THE FALL OF 2009 TO THE DEALER FOR AN UNRELATED MATTER. THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY PERFORMING A FILTER CHANGE AND APPARENTLY SANITIZING THE CHAMBER. IT SEEMED TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. IT’S BEEN WARM THIS SUMMER IN THE NORTHEAST AND I’VE HAD THE A/C ON MOST OF THE TIME SINCE JUNE. I’VE NOTICED THE SMELL RETURNING SLIGHTLY, THOUGH NOT AS BAD AS LAST YEAR. I GUESS I’LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE IF THE PROBLEM DEVELOPS FULL BLOWN WHEN I WILL NEED TO RETURN IT FOR ANOTHER SANITIZING TREATMENT. *TR

I HAVE A NEW 2009 VW TIGUAN THAT JUST HIT 10,000 MILES AS OF THE DATE OF THIS COMPLAINT. I BOUGHT ON OCTOBER 31ST, 2009. WITH THE FIRST HEAT OF SPRING I STARTED THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND THERE WAS A TERRIBLY RANK SMELL OF MOLD. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDER ON MAY 5TH WHO CLAIMED THAT THE DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WAS CLOGGED AND A POOL OF STAGNANT WATER HAD FILLED THE BASIN. HE DIDN’T KNOW FOR HOW LONG THAT POOL HAD BEEN THERE. THEY CLEANED OUT THE BASIN, REPLACED THE FILTER, AND DISINFECTED THE CAR. ONE MONTH LATER AND THE VENTILATION SYSTEM STILL REEKS OF MOLD. IN SOME WAYS IT’S WORSE, BECAUSE NOW THE ODOR ISN’T JUST WHEN RUNNING THE AC. IT NOW IS THERE WHEN RUNNING NORMAL VENTS AND THE SMELL IS STARING TO OOZE INTO THE MAIN COMPARTMENT. LAST NIGHT, THE 4TH OF JUNE, IT WAS 85-90 DEGREES AND VERY HUMID. DURING A 15 MINUTE DRIVE THE ODOR WAS TERRIBLE. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I HAD A 20 MINUTE COUGHING SPASM. I PRACTICALLY CANNOT RUN THE VENTILATION. MY NEXT STEP IS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM, CONTACT VW OF NORTH AMERICA, AND START LOOKING INTO THE LOCAL LEMON LAWS. *TR

Summary:
8/13/11 CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING- ONCE ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. CAR TOWED FROM RESIDENCE TO SERVICE. 8/15/11 SERVICE CALLED AND ADVISED MY CAR WAS HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP WAS LOW AND GAS TANK SO IT WAS PROBABLY BAD GAS BUT THE CAR HAD NOTHING WRONG. I WAS ALSO ADVISE THAT THE CAR WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, 10 MILES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. SERVICE OFFERED TO KEEP CAR 8/16/11 AND DRIVE IT ANOTHER 20-30 MILES. I AGREED. 8/17/11 I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER, UPON ARRIVAL. SVC ADVISED THAT THE CAR WAS DRIVEN AGAIN FOR 20 OR SO MILES AND AGAIN NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. SHE AGAIN STATED IT WAS “JUST PROBABLY BAD GAS”. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF IT STALLING AGAIN AT WHICH TIME ADVISED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN HOWEVER SINCE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS TO JUST RUN THE CURRENT TANK (3/4 FULL) DOWN TO EMPTY. ON 8/18/11, I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE GSP NORTH IN NJ DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (8 LANE HIGHWAY). TRAVELING IN THE 4TH LEFT LANE, SLOWED THE VEHICLE DUE TO TRAFFIC. AS I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND MOVE ABOUT 5 FEET WHEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. I PRESSED AND KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE KEEPING THE HAZARDS ON. I DID THIS TO NOTIFY DRIVERS BEHIND ME THAT I WAS STUCK. TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN AT A SLOW PACE AND DRIVERS WERE GOING AROUND ME. WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO, TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR WERE GAINING MOMENTUM AND MOVING AT LEAST SPEED LIMIT PACE (65MPH) . AS I WATCHED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR I SAW A WHITE SUV APPROACHING QUICKLY. I REALIZED I WAS GOING TO BE HIT AND BRACED FOR IMPACT. IT WAS NOT FULL IMPACT AS LAST MINUTE DRIVER TURNED THE WHEEL. I WAS TOLD DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 55-60MPS. THIS ACCIDENT WAS 1 DAY AFTER I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK AND TOLD “NOTHING WRONG”. I ALSO NOTICED THROUGH PAPERWORK MY CAR WAS NEVER RE-RAN AS DISCUSSED. MY IN/OUT ODOMETER WAS 12 MILES… *TR

Component: POWER TRAIN
Summary:
I HAVE A 2009 VW CC THAT NORMALLY IDLES AT 600 RPM BUT DUE TO EITHER ENGINEERING OR A MALFUNCTION IT INCREASES IT’S IDLE TO 950 RPM FOR EITHER AN ELECTRICAL OR COOLING ISSUE DEPENDING ON THE VW TECHNICIAN YOU TALK TO. THIS CREATES A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE WANTS TO LUNGE OR SURGE FORWARD REQUIRING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO HOLD STILL. THIS IS A 58% INCREASE IN RPM WITH A VERY LOW STALL TORQUE CONVERTER. THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS IT IS SURGING FORWARD AND STRESS ON THE DRIVE TRAIN AT THAT RPM. I HAVE TAKEN TO VW DEALERSHIP, THE TECH AGREES THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL BUT VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA STATES IT IS OPERATING AS ENGINEERED. IF SO, THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO REQUIRE A 58% INCREASE IN RPM FOR BETTER COOLING AT TEMPERATURES OF OVER 93 DEGREES. IN ANY CASE, MINE DOES THIS IN THE WINTER AS WELL AS COOLER SUMMER DAYS AND NOT JUST HOT DAYS. IN FACT, SOME HOT DAYS IT DOES NOT DO IT AT ALL. SO EITHER IT IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE RPM ABOVE 93 DEGREES OR IT ISN’T. REGARDLESS MINE DOESN’T OPERATE CORRECTLY IN EITHER CASE. *TR
