Petition Protect consumers who experience emission problems with their diesel vehicles

Since 2009 diesel vehicles have been fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPFs) to remove particles of soot etc from the exhaust to protect the environment and the air we breathe. These filters are failing or becoming clogged up and consumers are being presented with costly repair bills.

More details

I personally was advised that to repair my Honda Civic which was under 4 years old and had covered 33000 miles the cost would be over £3600. Almost 20% of its cost new. Correspondence with Honda UK proved unsuccessful. Some manufacturers do not include DPF's in their warranties.

I would like to see Manufacturers being forced to give
1) A retrospective guarantee on DPF's for a period of 10 years or 150,000 miles
2) To recall all vehicles sold since 2009 and test the DPFs, compensating owners
