Check Engine Light On problems of the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

Vehicle engine suddenly began idling roughly while stopped at city street intersection. While driving the engine still felt rough and would occasionally stop running. After getting it to a vw service mechanic it received the following diagnostic - "check engine light: found camshaft spool valve has come apart. Found cam shaft bearing bracket oil screen damaged. " at 81,000 miles this car should not exhibit such problems. There appears to be a recall on 2015 vw Tiguan engines related to the same part, cam shaft. I reached out to vw for any info about this, and have not received any response.

I was driving my Tiguan when it stalled out at the end of the street. I was able to turn the car off and then on again and it started just fine. I was able to drive my car up the street when it started jerking, sputtering, and lurching, like it did not want to go forward. The check engine light came on at this time. I was able to drive about 1000 feet to the nearest gas station. The check engine light remained on. We started the car again this morning, and it did the same thing: lurching, jerking, and sputtering. It was able to drive about 500 feet. Again, the check engine light is still on.

We recently (12-23-2014) brought the car in for the August 11th 2014 recall of the Tiguan ecm/air bubble issue related to the fuel pump in the cars. Our car was not experiencing any issues relating to the recall and described, but due to potential issues decided to bring it in to have it applied anyways. Upon leaving the dealership, the car was accelerating funny, and we noticed gas mileage had gone down. Due to ecm being reflashed as a part of the recall, we chalked it up as the computer needing to re-"learn" driving habits, shift points, etc. . About 25 miles later we were on the way home from an event about a few miles from home. We were on a very busy 6 lane highway when the car lost all engine power. It put us in an extremely dangerous position, 4 adults in a car on a busy 6 lane highway. We managed to coast over to the shoulder and to an offramp. The car restarted and the epc and check engine lights came on. The car was able to run, but only in limp mode, enough to get us the final couple miles home. Took the car to the dealership the following Monday. Issue was a failed high pressure fuel pump, needs to be replaced. It apparently is a very common part to fail, and at low mileage on cars, in any condition. It failed after the "new car warranty" but was replaced under the extended warranty provided by vw. Due to it's high failure rate at low vehicle mileage, and the impact it can have on safety, the fuel pump recall from August 11th should be expanded to cover the fuel pump replacement and extend the warranty of the part.

2012 Tiguan (~18,000 miles) has stalled at low mph four times. The check engine light came on one occasion but not the others. At each time the vehicle would restart after putting it in park. Took it in to dealership and they could not find anything wrong, told me to make note of temp, mileage, gas level if it happened again. Thankfully this only happened when other cars were not near enough to cause harm.
