1 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2009

Despite regular maintenance, the cam follower and cam of my vw 2. 0t fsi engine failed in under 40k miles. This resulted in fuel cuts and power drop offs. A very dangerous combination when merging onto a highway. These items were replaced under warranty, but would have cost me nearly $1400 to repair if they weren't covered.

2 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2006

Engine failure at only 800 miles.
