.......Hope this works out for you Don. I've been very anti-VW for a long time... This is just further fuel for me.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

Glad you discovered all this before buying another camper based upon those erroneous parameters. Will you be looking towards the Dodge 1/2 ton diesel p/u to replace the Turdreg?
I don't know...I don't like taking the hit from a new vehicle purchase. Only works out if you actually keep it. Planned to run the Toureg out, then let the pre-rangers wear it out some more.I need to win this thing with VW to come out.I could still entertain a smaller Lance pulled by C-Max for event travel, but the mileage of the D-Max is no where near the VW.

Not like you've abused it and neglected the required maintenance. It might help offset the pain of a new vehicle purchase.
Don, anything happening with the VW group
Update? Potentially looking for new ride....
Busy, sorry to not be keepin up on my DOT responsibilities........
Any update?
Sadly Don, no one in the media cares until someone dies. If you can find someone that has dies or been maimed as a result of the safety issues you cite, then and only then will the media and your elected representative take note
As a matter of fact, I was.
Doesn't the NTSB list accidents and break it down to the vehicle? At least you could see then if there are towing issues reported so either the press or some official may look at

If you can find someone that has dies or been maimed as a result of the safety issues you cite, then and only then will the media and your elected representative take noteI'll report this and get it off my conscienceI have found my state government to be pretty much no help what so everSame for my congressman. When I had that tussle with the IRS, my congressman was so locked down in rule following that they couldn't do anything. I had to do all the groundwork myself and took care of the thing totally by myself.The Kentucky Attorney general's office simply passed me off, it is my belief that they really don't want to help.Concerning government, folks, I believe we are really on our own against a fat, diseased, uncaring leviathan that is not coming to help anytime soon.Thought to consider. Times are relatively good right now and we get little help from our very costly governments. How do you think things will go if there is a major calamity?
Don, any update on the VW?
My plan would then be to get her a Merc and call it a day.
get her a Merc and

Geez Alan Jackson even wrote the song about a Mercury... not a Mercedes..Pilots... ::)
