Timing Tensioner problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat

Vehicle engine light comes and goes way. The vehicle jerks/shakes when waiting the red signals and looses power and had to stop the vehicle and start the vehicle. I have done all the oil according to the recommended milage by the dealer. And also it looses power when taking turns, in that case need to turn off the vehicle and start again. This happens when vehicle waits the red signal and move/shakes heavily and had to put the vehicle in park and stop it. Though vehicle is 5 year and ran barely 55k and started showing symptoms as mentioned as above. I strongly believe this something to do with the manufacturing. Below is the report from the dealer. ------------------- cam faults, misfires. Scanned vehicle and found cam fault p034100, all cylinder misfires faults. Traced fault to timing chain tensioner failure. ------------------------ I have also attached the invoice and diagnoses results about the issue. And also found in internet related to the same issue that they have seen other vw vehicles. The issue seems to be similar, however vw/vw dealer seems not accepting and doing repair for free.

We took the car in for maintenance to the dealership a month ago. It was a little loud which was evident. The dealers mechanic said the car was fine. A few weeks ago the check engine light came on (steady not blinking). We took it into the dealership and found out that the timing tensioner (apparently a known vehicle issue according to the mechanic), and that it had damaged the engine to the point it needed to be replaced. It has a 1. 8t, and I am curious exactly how prevalent this problem is.

Please be advised that the matter regarding timing chain and tensioner system has been resolved by vw of America to my satisfaction and no further action is necessary . Thank you very much.
