I was driving on a highway when my engine failed. My year, make and model number is listed in the vw timing chain settlement, but my VIN # is not in their database, so they will not help me. The extended warranty that I purchased with the car, which was used, on 5/12/17, expires at 121,000 miles. I am over the mileage by approx. 7,800 miles, so they will not honor it.
