Consumer Description

THE 2.0T TSI ENGINE WAS MADE WITH A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WHICH WILL FAIL AND CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK CAUSING IMMEDIATE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE PUTTING THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER AND DIFFICULTY STEERING. I AM EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I NOTICED THE CAR WAS ACTING FUNNY AND EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO ME HOW THE TIMING CHAIN COULD CAUSE THAT MUCH DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN CREATED WITH A FAULTY DESIGN, SO NOW I'M EXPECTED TO PAY TO REPLACE A FAULTY ENGINE WITH ANOTHER FAULTY ENGINE. IT'S EXTREMELY UPSETTING THAT AFTER I SENT MY VEHICLE IN FOR ISSUES WITH A RECALL, FUEL PUMP, THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST SELF DESTRUCT LIKE THIS
