NHTSA Complaint #11101452 — 2016 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT

ON MAY 21, 2018, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION, AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE MY CAR DIED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO QUIRK VW IN MANCHESTER, NH AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD JUMPED TIME AND VALVES OF ENGINE MOST LIKELY HAVE CONTACTED PISTONS, ETC. NEEDS ENGINE AND TURBO ASSEMBLY. THERE IS A KNOWN TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER LAWSUIT OUT ON THESE CARS. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS NOT A DEADLY ACCIDENT.
