Cummins conducted an extensive internal review and worked collaboratively with the regulators for more than four years. The company has seen no evidence that anyone acted in bad faith and does not admit wrongdoing," Cummins said in a statement.

LOL

"It's the damndest thing, we don't know how it happened."

How do you cheat and still have the worst reliability?

How do you cheat and still have the worst reliability?

I've never seen an automaker make so many horrible decisions the past oh...5 years - as much as Stellantis is making. It's as if they're trying to deliberately destroy the company. They've always kinda been the entry level automaker in the US the past couple decades, but the recent change trying to go upscale has been a near disaster.

And, they're still made rather poorly overall - and least they still got that going for them

I still have yet to see an actual Dodge Hornet (2022) or Jeep Grand Wagoneer (2021) on the road yet. And I live in CR and drive around town for a living...NEVER seen either one yet.

I mean, hell - I see a Rivian driving to work every morning on my route. Even saw a Tesla pickup on 80 last weekend. And there's a Fisker on my side of town I see now and then.

But a Hornet, or a Grand Wag? Nope.
