| VW Problems Continue to Expand | | Fallout from the Volkswagen emissions scandal is spreading across the Houston region, where sales have slipped and a class-action lawsuit is under way in federal court. Two Houston-area residents so far who have signed on to the class-action lawsuit, charging that if they had known about the VW so-called defeat devices, they would have either paid less than they did or they wouldn't have bought or leased any of the affected models. Modifying the vehicles to reach environmental compliance will change their performance and efficiency and cause "actual harm and damages" for owners and lessees, the federal lawsuit alleges. "Once repaired, their vehicles will no longer perform as advertised and as they did when they were acquired, causing a diminution in value," it says.
