    EPA Accuses FCA (Fiat-Chrysler) of excess Diesel Emissions

      Another Diesel-Dust Issue Emerges 

    WASHINGTON -- The EPA has accused FCA of using similar software as, already found guilty VW, that allowed excess diesel emissions in over 100,000 U.S. trucks and SUVs sold since 2014.

    FCA has declined to comment, and Reuters cites sources that declare that FCA will contest the claims.

    It is common practice for automakers to use secondary emission controls to protect engines from internal damage. When doing so the maker must proclaim and document it to the EPA.

    Currently, Fiat-Chrysler’s 2017 diesels are not certified for sale in the United States, forcing Chrysler to continue selling 2016 models instead.

    On Wednesday, January 11, 2017, Volkswagen was fined $4.3 Billion for criminal and civil violations in misleading regulators and selling vehicles that pollute.

      I think that Americans should not forgive as easily as they do.  Forgiveness is overrated.  And that's me speaking as a Catholic.  Those people will continue to pull the same $hi+. Musk's weirdness and nastiness should not be forgiven and forgotten.  He should have stuck to being a businessman, if you even want to call him that.  People should walk away from products and services offered by rotten people, and that would even include changing doctors, for example. I had a real "winner" of a doctor 3 years ago, as in one rude mofo.

      Not surprised that the new pope is from here after he earned his way up to the last pope by doing what that pope did. Hopefully inclusivity will truly continue for this guy and those that believe, follow and want this type of leadership. I just hope we can get rid of all the Fascist idiots that think the 1950's/60's was the golden age of the U.S. and move forward as society will and leave us behind. I believe based on history, the U.S. will see the same downturn in business for the next two decades due to stupidity now and our Auto Industry could become far more reduced for the Legacy OEMs. Europeans seem interested in Rivian and Lucid as well as GM and Ford for EVs, but Tesla, I think is in serious trouble and would not be surprised to see the plant in Germany end up closing or sold off.

      Nicely composed photo. - - - - - White smoke ... and I'll never forget where I was/am.   I am in disbelief.  The new Pope is American.  (There's a reason for everything.) I could put this in the joke thread, but won't ... Q:  What do Trump*, Elon Musk*, Luigi Mangione*, and the new Pope** have in common? A:  Their college degrees (baccalaureate) were all granted in ~ Philadelphia. * UPenn ** Villanova
