Volkswagen timing chain has been replaced 3 times by Volkswagen each time the chain needed to be replaced, it was just outside of warranty leading to law suit. And this time, just outside manufacturing warranty by 2 days, the rocker arms in my vw 2. 0 engine failed also locking the motor up completely unable to repair. I've looked online and there are hundreds if not thousands of similar complaints. If we know volkswagon knew about these issues why is there no recall to service the effected (now 3 times and permanent) a vehicles safety of operation on texas state roads and highways yet dont get reimbursed due to 3 days. . . . . Was driving straight on tollway access road and motor locked up. No noise no indication. No warning.
