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. FORTUNATELY FOR US, THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED WHILE THE CAR WAS STARTED AND PARKED IN OUR GARAGE.

MY 2012 VW EOS HAD A TENSIONER CHAIN JUMP 5 TEETH WITH NO WARNING. AND NOW THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COST MY OVER 4,000$ TO REPAIR ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD IT TOWED TO FROM MY HOUSE. I TRIED TO START IT AND IT JUST WOULDN'T START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SOLD ME A NEW BATTERY, CHARGED ME A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO TELL ME THAT THIS FAULTY PART IS WHAT CAUSED IT. THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 80K MILES ON IT WITH VERY REGULAR SERVICING AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE GOING ON HERE. PLEASE ASSIST.

I BOUGHT A USED 2012 EOS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015. SINCE OWNING THE CAR, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 IGNITION COILS TWICE, IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNING THIS CAR. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED 3 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THEN FAILS TO ACCELERATE. IT DOES NOT TRANSITION FROM THE LOWER GEARS TO THE HIGHER GEARS SMOOTHLY AND I AM CONSTANTLY IN FEAR OF GETTING STRANDED.

TAKATA RECALL - EVEN THOUGH VW PUBLISHED PUBLIC NOTICE OF THIS AIR BAG RECALL ON APRIL 12, 2016, WE STILL HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED OF A SCHEDULED REPLACEMENT. WE SHOULD BE ON A PRIORITY LISTING SINCE WE LIVE IN A SUB-TROPICAL CLIMATE (SC) AND OUR VEHICLE IS AMONG THE OLDER INSTALLATIONS (2012). WE HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY VW.
