Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A VW DIESEL DUE TO THE PERFORMANCE AND LACK OF IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT I WAS SOLD A VEHICLE THAT HARMS THE AIR. I'M A RETIRED FIREFIGHTER WITH 31 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE CITY OF STOCKTON AND I'LL BE TURNING 65 THIS YEAR BUT NOW I FIND OUT THAT MY " LAST " CAR ISN'T WHAT I THOUGHT THAT I WAS BUYING AND NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THE ISSUE WITH BE RESOLVED, I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT KNOWING IF IT'S FIXABLE AND WHAT TO DO IF I DECIDE TO TRY AND TRADE IT IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I HAD SOME TRIPS PLANNED BUT I CANCELLED THEM, DUE TO THE DISTANCE, WHICH MAY AFFECT NOT ONLY THE AIR BUT THE VALUE OF THE CAR.
