FIAT CHRYSLER MAY HAVE LIED ABOUT TOXIC CAR EMISSIONS
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Fiat Chrysler is the latest car manufacturer to use secret software to violate the Clean Air Act.
The EPA notified Fiat Chrysler on Thursday that is has reason to believe the company used software to alter emissions systems in its 2014, 2015, and 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with 3.0 liter diesel engines. As a result, some 104,000 cars might be pumping illegal quantities of dangerous nitrogen oxide (NOx) into the atmosphere.
This announcement looks an awful lot like an earlier scandal for Volkswagen, which admitted to using its own software to cheat on emissions tests after investigations by the EPA.
