Engine Failure Problems of Volkswagen CC

Vehicle was serviced at 180k by vw dealership; a premium service was selected; engine light came on as I was taking it in; the vehicle previously did turn off while on the highway on its own which then needed to be restarted. The car jerked as if my spark plugs were having issues. Have had to change spark plugs frequently compared to normal wear and tear. I was told it was the air/cam sensor (as a recommendation from the dealership) the car had been running sluggish but normal prior to it getting serviced. The car was ready for pick up and engine light was cleared. Car was driven about 35mi from dealership to place of residence. Car performed normal. Next day went to turn on the vehicle and it would not start. It did start long enough that I could use my own code reader the vehicle had 15 errors according to the reader. I let the car sit for a month before I could tow it to the dealership where it was serviced. Vw is now saying they don't know what is wrong with the vehicle. Camshaft is what they are looking at . Another possibility vw explains is massive engine failure.

I was driving the engine died at freeway speeds. With no power it was dangerous for me to get to the side of the road safely. If it had been at night, im not sure I would hve made it. The problem turned out to be n205 valve. It is a know problem that there is a screen that can fall apart and block the valve from moving oil to the cam shaft. Causing the timing to move and cause catastrophic engine failure. The mechanics at the dealership say it is a issue they see all the time. They said the new version of the part is to correct that. Problem is when catastrophic engine failure happens the dealership attitude seems to be we know its a problem but if the cost is to high to fix, they will not do any thing until there is a recall. That puts peoples safety at risque because of there unwillingness to fix the problem due to the companies bottom line.

While driving on interstate at speed at 65-70 mph with a tractor trailer in my rear and other automobiles to my right and left, the car stopped running and the engine service light illuminated. I was able to avoid a collision and drifted to the right of interatate 75. I called the dealer who sold me the car, o'steen vw of jacksonville, FL and spoke with my regulate service technician who advised me that my car had jumped time and for me to have it towed to the dealership. My insurance would only tow to nearest repair facility which would have been tifton, GA so my husband towed to our home in blackshear, GA. I could have been killed as well as others. There was no warning. The vehicle www confirmed to have timing chain failure that resulted in destruction of all cylinders and complete engine failure. Dealer refused to repair and failed to disose that a TSB (NHTSA # 10045560) relative to this defect was issued in July of 2012 prior to the certification of the vehicle I purchaed in Dec of 2012.
