Angry 911 Owners Sue Porsche Over Defeat Devices

Porsche’s parent company, the VW Group, claims it has learned its lesson following the Dieselgate fiasco. The story broke just over five years ago and since then the German automaker has undergone drastic changes, ranging from top executives to product. While the attention was on manipulated diesel emissions on millions of vehicles, gasoline engine vehicles remained unscathed. But is it still possible for those engines to have been equipped with illegal emissions software and hardware?

The answer is ‘yes,’ and now a class action lawsuit has been filed. According to Car Complaints, a 2012 Porsche 911 owner from California has sued the German automaker, alleging the sports car’s emissions were tampered with after the engines were type-approved by Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority, the EPA, and the California Air Resource Board. The owner purchased the used 911 Carrera for $65,800 with 36,539 miles on it.
