"Reportedly"...key word.

Wonder if it's fake news?

 

Fake news, if I hear that once more I'm gonna barf. With all the problems facing the world and humanity, why is there so much emphasis on this? Priorities, this "scandal" shouldn't be one. I will keep enjoying my reduced fuel bills and my glow plugs.

I am sure they have started legal action, usually the normal procedures when laws have been broken.

Jury is out...New InJustice Department in 5 days...gotta love The Motley Fool.

 

Guys, you've misinterpreted my comment. I don't believe it's "fake news", it's just that term itself has been thrown around so much lately it seems ridiculous, that's all. I never claimed it was fake. We know there is some validity to this, no argument there. Continue on.

 

They better get a move on, many at the DOJ only have 3 days till they are unemployed.

 

I disagree (respectfully) that the fix will be easy.... and am actually afraid that they will implement an easy fix. Think about it. In the situations where the ED is not NOx compliant, for example, it's not because an engineer said, "hey, let's screw up the environment during this time!" No, it is a lot more complicated. I think in many of these cases the trade-off was on engine/sensor longevity versus emissions. We've all seen the really ugly pictures of clogged up EGR passages, etc. In high-speed (freeway) cruise, FCA renders the EGR off. If the software fix is to NOT render it off - what effects will this have on other "constraints". There was likely a lot of motivation to remain compliant ALL the time, so what the engineers were trying to protect against cannot be trivial. FCA has to do what they have to do. Long live GDE.

 

Going to be keeping an eye on the stock prices and the news. If the "bad" news keeps coming and driving the price down and they indeed are NOT in violation - that isht is going to rally like a mutha.

 

keeping my truck no matter what happens.Too much fake news.I love my truck too good to get rid of.

 

Except it's reality. The investigation is not fake.

This doesn't mean the regulations won't be imposed, but the funds allocation (which can be funds to go to a trial also, as I understand it) are on freeze. Probably fiat will negotiate a small fine and everything will be regular business.
