Toyota Camry air conditioning odor lawsuit settled
Toyota Camry class action lawsuit alleges mold and odor caused harm to vehicle occupants. January 13, 2025 ——The odor of Toyota Camry air conditioners triggered a nationwide class action lawsuit nine years ago. After nine years of court trials, the case was finally settled.

Volkswagen suction pump recall alleges ‘frivolous’ lawsuit
Volkswagen said the class action lawsuit based on recalls, warranty extensions, and refunds should be dismissed.

This can cause problems such as fuel spillage or premature stoppage of the fuel nozzles when refueling, as well as fuel odor in the vehicle. The class action lawsuit includes the following vehicles: 2015-2020 Volkswagen Golf 2015-2020 Audi A3 2021-2024 Volkswagen Daos Volkswagen's first recall for suction injection pumps was issued in 2016 and affected the 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, Volkswagen GTI, Audi A3 and A3 Convertible.

Nissan Rogue gasoline smell allegedly making occupants sick
The class-action lawsuit claims the Rogue SUV's positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is defective. September 24, 2024 — A Nissan Rogue class action lawsuit alleges that 2021-2023 Nissan Rogue models have odors inside the vehicle due to a defective positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system. The Nissan class action lawsuit alleges that the Rogue SUV is equipped with a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engine. Occupants claimed that the smell of gasoline made them sick when the fuel seeped into the rubber components.

Volkswagen Intake Injector Pump Recall Investigation Completed
Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf suction jet pump problems have caused fuel leaks and other problems. July 4, 2024 — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s federal investigation into a second Audi and Volkswagen suction jet pump recall has concluded. In December 2023, NHTSA launched an investigation into the 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 vehicles that were recalled in September 2016 because of fuel leak problems in these vehicles. The suction jet pump removes fuel from the evaporative emissions system, but the pump may be damaged during assembly. This can cause fuel to flow directly into the evaporative emissions system. Fuel may leak from the canister filter, gasoline may spray out during refueling, and passengers may smell fuel. The 2016 recall was for a defective suction injection pump inside the fuel tank. Dealers were asked to replace the suction injection pump with an improved version. NHTSA launched the recall investigations after Audi and Volkswagen owners continued to complain of…
