Cant help with your issue...but this line got me thinking.

VW is jumping through their a$$holes in the USA with the diesel issues, but slow dragging in the EU...wonder why?

So maybe there are some good things when it comes to lawsuits, and class action lawsuits, in the USA? Some good, some bad. Yes, there are abuses- yes there are attorneys and entire law firms that exist to fleece businesses. But then there are corporations that would 'do the right think' without the threat of litigation. Remove that threat and you have consumers getting abused.

Sure got VWs attention!

(and it wasnt billions, just millions. )
