2007 VOLKSWAGEN EOS Engine Problems

VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AT FIRST THOUGHT, WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE BUT MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS NO COMPRESSION IN THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE HAS TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE NEEDING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. 110,000 MILES.

THE CAR STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MECHANIC TELLS ME TIMING CHAIN BAD AND NEEDS NEW MOTOR. ONLY HAS 61,OOO MILES.

TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE TACHOMETER REDLINED BEFORE IT DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. I GOT IN AND THE LIGHT WAS OUT, SO I DROVE FOR FIVE MINUTES AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH -- SAME ISSUE WITH TACH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC SHOP. IT IS STILL AT THE SHOP AS THEY ARE TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT. NOTICED THAT VW PUT OUT A TECH BULLETIN IN 2009 (15 09 03 DEC. 16, 2009 2015153 SUPERSEDES T. B. GROUP 15 NUMBER 09-02 DATED NOVEMBER 10, 2009 TO REVISE TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS CODE IN WARRANTY TABLE.) BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE TRUCK BEHIND ME SWERVED TO MISS ME....
