Car manufacturers are not always honest. There has been ample evidence in recent years of car makers hiding vehicle defects from regulators and the public, thus putting lives at risk. There have also been a record number of recalls in the past few years, often as news of the hidden problems finally came to light. Sometimes, these recalls didn't come until after people had been killed and cars had been on the road for decades.

Buying a new car is a stressful experience, as you have to spend a lot of money to get a new vehicle. There is little or no pricing transparency in the car buying industry, which can leave you uncertain as to how much you will end up paying or whether you got a good deal or not. There is also a very real concern your car will be defective, especially in light of record numbers of vehicle recalls over the course of the last several years.

Volkswagen has been having a run of bad luck lately that has cost the car maker big time. Volkswagen's best known issue in recent months has been the problems with the car company's vehicles being rigged in order to perform better in emissions testing than the cars do on the road. The cars could detect when hooked up to an emissions testing machine and the vehicles performed differently than the cars would on the road under normal use. This led to an artificially low emissions rating. The problem prompted government action against VW and VW also eventually had to reach a settlement with angry consumers.

Car buying scams happen all the time. In many cases, it is really difficult to get your money back if you make an investment in buying a vehicle and the seller turns out to be a scam artist. You want to watch for red flags and find problems before the unscrupulous dealer has your money so you can better avoid financial loss.
"I was blown away at how fast the settlement wrapped up. I was told about 8 months to a year for success, but Brian Wagner and his supporting team did a fantastic job, perhaps 6 months ahead of schedule. From my initial consultation with Erika, her assessment of my case, including the assigning of Mr. Wagner as counsel, the stress reducing assurance of paralegal Andy Kim, and the personable approach of Melanie, who eased my anxiety with her confidence and support in reception of my calls. Great job team!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
