![Volkswagen under fire for not keeping the promise](https://repokar.com/public/files/manager/blog/4a2ea461aa94a1fc4dd6b2a1a4f178d4.jpg)
It's been a year since the Volkswagen scandal first erupted , but only 1 out of 10 vehicles which cheat emissions got fixed. More than 1.2 million vehicles were affected by the emissions scandal in Britain, equivalent to nearly one in 10 of the country's diesel cars.
Even though the carmaker has promised to fix the problem in only a year, only 110,000 vehicles in the UK got fixed. It's still unclear how much more people have to wait, since 9 out of 10 drivers are still waiting for their car to get fixed. The chair of Transport Select Committee, said the efforts of VW are unacceptable. People need to know when their cars will get fixed and returned to them ,after all they payed for them. Volkswagen needs to come clean with its customers, if it doesn't the Government needs to act.
Volkswagen said the process of having the fixes approved for different models by regulators in various countries is "complex". It added that it has written to more than 300,000 UK customers requesting them to have the modification work carried out. In June Volkswagen agreed to settle consumer lawsuits and government allegations in the US by taking steps that could cost the manufacturer 14.7 billion US dollars.

Fire Risk: BMW Recalls 185,000 Cars TODAY
by Jason ParkerThe recall expansion covers 3 Series, 5 Series and Z4 models from the 2006 model year. The problem has been traced to irregularities in the manufacturing process that could allow moisture to occur near the PCV valve heater and lead to a short circuit.

It also helps keep the engine oil clean and prevents crankcase pressure from building up. BMW warns its customers to stop driving the vehicle if there is smoke coming from the engine, or if the driver smells smoke or plast...
