What's the point? They will just keep throwing band aids at the problem and never fix it. They will just end up doing what they did with the problematic 1.4 twincharged engine. Just discontinue building it.

What needs to happen is that VGA should be made to repay owners a percentage of the drop in resale value of the car, I say $6000 per car with this gearbox for polos, $9k for golfs, $12 for passats etc. On top of that, be forced to publically admit in writing that there is an issue, then those warranty claims that dealers have refused because they "can't find any problem" can be contested, resulting in full gearbox replacement including clutch packs and mechatronics units.

Finally, a $15,000,000 fine for misleading the public and putting all owners of vehicles with the dq200 in (greater than usual on the roads) harms way.

Think of it this way for those of you that have not experienced this first hand, like some of us have.

Imagine if you were allowed to walk into a warehouse and randomly select 5% of the baby formula in that warehouse. Into that 5% you put a low-ish dose of cyanide. Not enough to kill everyone that has that formula, but enough to make them have some near misses, but it might cause one death.

How is that any different...?
