Consumer Description
VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES WAY. THE VEHICLE JERKS/SHAKES WHEN WAITING THE RED SIGNALS AND LOOSES POWER AND HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND START THE VEHICLE.I HAVE DONE ALL THE OIL ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMENDED MILAGE BY THE DEALER. AND ALSO IT LOOSES POWER WHEN TAKING TURNS, IN THAT CASE NEED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE WAITS THE RED SIGNAL AND MOVE/SHAKES HEAVILY AND HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND STOP IT. THOUGH VEHICLE IS 5 YEAR AND RAN BARELY 55K AND STARTED SHOWING SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED AS ABOVE.I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MANUFACTURING. BELOW IS THE REPORT FROM THE DEALER. ------------------- CAM FAULTS, MISFIRES. SCANNED VEHICLE AND FOUND CAM FAULT P034100, ALL CYLINDER MISFIRES FAULTS. TRACED FAULT TO TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILURE. ------------------------ I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED THE INVOICE AND DIAGNOSES RESULTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. AND ALSO FOUND IN INTERNET RELATED TO THE SAME ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE SEEN OTHER VW VEHICLES. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR, HOWEVER VW/VW DEALER SEEMS NOT ACCEPTING AND DOING REPAIR FOR FREE.
