Can consumers trust the car industry?



Mitsubishi Motors is the latest car maker to admit falsifying fuel economy data.



First it was Volkswagen. Now Mitsubishi has been forced to apologise after confessing it had exaggerated the fuel economy of more than 600,000 cars.
Japanese government officials have raided one of its offices and research facilities, forcing the company's share price to drop to an all-time low.
On the same day, Volkswagen reached an agreement in the US to compensate half a million American owners of its diesel-powered cars.
In what some are starting to call an international pattern of cheating in the car industry, the German carmaker was found to be falsifying its emissions data last year.
