Diesel Scandal

A federal judge in California on Friday urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Volkswagen AG to resolve a civil suit stemming from its Dieselgate emissions scandal. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco, who earlier had questioned why the agency waited two years to sue the automaker, said he was putting the suit on hold until Oct. 4. The SEC filed a civil suit in March accusing Volkswagen and its former chief executive, Martin Winterkorn, of defrauding

The notion that VW was exposing humans to diesel tailpipe emissions makes for a great headline with powerful historical connotations, but it's simply not true based on the information we have right now.

But the CEO will stay on.

Volkswagen's way forward lies in electric vehicles and mobility services, and these segments will be boosted by 9,000 new jobs in Germany.

The fine is equivalent to $3,660 per uncertified diesel engine.

He's already been asked to clean out his desk.

Under suspicion: Fiat 500X, Fiat Doblo, and Jeep Renegade.

If VW can't fix its diesels, they may go the way of the dodo and the '87-'90 Nissan Van.

Dealers will finally get compensated for the cars they weren't allowed to sell.

One investigator said it was a 'collective failure.'

An EU commissioner says that VW should treat each side of the Atlantic the same when it comes to diesel scandal customer payments.

This just keeps getting bigger. A VW executive is arrested in South Korea over the diesel scandal, while Nissan sues Korea and Norway sues VW over diesels.

Early rumors of the deal VW has struck with US regulators would see it pay diesel owners up to $7,000 per vehicle in a plan that could cost $10 billion.

The EPA has asked Daimler AG for more information on the emissions of some diesel vehicles in the US. There's no probe or claim of wrongdoing, yet.
