Volkswagen has had some serious issues with vehicle emissions in recent years. They have admitted to using "defeat devices" on their diesel models which allowed the vehicles to falsely pass emissions testing, even though the vehicles were emitting more harmful pollutants than stated. Their products have also had other major safety and reliability issues, leading to several recalls and legal investigations.  It has significantly damaged their reputation and cost them billions in fines and losses.
