Nitrogen Oxide (IS A KNOWN CARCINOGEN) is being spewed into the atmosphere at 40 times the EPA limits X 11 Million cars X their daily mileage around the world …Good way to kill the planet , the actual owners of the cars , and increase carcinogens in the air from the cars smog producing diesel engines..I have had one family member already die from AML leukemia that was directly linked to the amount of daily actual exposure he had from this car . It occurred in less than one year from the point of purchase and then the cost to our household was well over $3 million dollars.. Given the shark like tenacity that V W is LOW BALLING THIS FIRST INITIAL OFFER..I would recommend refusing to agree to it. The offer does nothing to address the health concerns of the owners and their families. Each owner must be questioned about health concerns and family deaths that have impacted each plaintiff in this class action suit. Furthermore this is about what NITROGEN OXIDE did to each of our lives and health, as result of a blatant lie that V W cheated on our good faith and credit in their cars , while compromising the purchase of the car , being told the over all clean air ability of the engines they manufactured. I have been able to talk to several owners who have had VW diesel TDI cars at their homes, and each one has had severe health problems up to and including deaths of family members. I think this is far from being over..AS this sits right now I would rather sue them on this and get far more response about the wrongful deaths that this cheating action has caused each specific TDI diesel owner and each family member per car. I believe this is a cover-up to eliminate the aspect of responsibility to care for the health effects that the carcinogen NITROGEN OXIDE HAS BEEN OVER LOOKED AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER!!!! V W Killed people by covering up the extent of the severity of this problem hoping no one would question the validity of the situation as it transpired. They hope we are too stupid to understand we were duped into buying fake estimations about a car that could not deliver clean air after it used the diesel in it’s engine. The cars are now experiencing Door seals that are no longer keeping rain water out and also causing severe mold growth inside the cabin of this series of car.. The engineers did not fix the moon roof leaks either??? V W also has not address the Takata Air bags issues in this model series, that when impacted in an accident can harm driver and not deploy correctly causing bodily harm and or death to both driver and passengers.. THIS is a response from some one who has had V W Cars in our family my entire life… THEY can do better than this..IT IS A SHAME TO ACCEPT THIS current first offer AT THESE MODEST LEVELS..V W is ushering us along like a herd of cattle..THE COURTS AND OFFICIALS MUST ADDRESS HOW OR Request records of how OWNERS and their FAMILIES WILL HAVE LASTING HEALTH AFFECTS TO THEIR LONGEVITY THAT GREATLY DECREASES THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES. NITROGEN OXIDE severely limits your longevity of your specific life expectancy dramatically! Each person person who has been exposed to it..causing prolonged suffering,diminished lung capacity, swollen throat and nasal passages, and itch skin and rashes to appear on the body. Nitrogen Oxide causes Oxygen starvation of the body, and worse..such as AML LEUKEMIA…and a host of other subtle long term health affects that are hastened by the exposure to it..At 40 times EPA standards..I would expect the Judges to multiply the outcome of the settlements by a possible multiplier of 40 or more above this current initial offering. TO QUOTE THE TEAM OF DOCTORS AT U OF W HEATH CARE in the ICU WARD OF CANCER CARE ALLIANCE in Seattle WA at Fred Hutch Cancer research facility (The Israeli Doctor , she said and I quote her”..I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS , EVER?? IT IS AT 30 % OF HIS TOTAL BLOOD VOLUME AND WILL NOT GO DOWN AFTER 4 AGGRESSIVE TREATMENTS OF CHEMO THERAPY!” It is impossible that he is able to live much longer.” They took an actual tissue sample From David C Gerlach and cataloged it for further research and study. I was both shocked and horrified at this declaration from his oncology team of 6 doctors and what they responded to. In May of 2011 Dr David C Gerlach passed away from AML leukemia…Listed in 6 major news papers nation wide. He was a Battelle PNW Labs Lead Scientist, who diligently worked each day to work on many important projects to provide much support to our nations’ National Security. I will tell you now…I know he was poisoned .. and with the actions and the way V W is acting right now, it only confirms my suspicions of the actual source of that poison!!! V W was acting upon their intent to harm their customers to gain world wide dominance in the automobile markets at the direct dis regard of their customers safety, which also includes any one riding in a V W TDI diesel car that is named in this law suit.
