Consumer Description

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. *TR
