| Description of the problem | The timing chain on my 2012 volkswagen cc failed under no fault of my own. The vehicle has 65k miles on it and the repair shop is citing that an entire engine is needed to repair the vehicle with a cost of $7,000. I have reached out to volkswagen of america as well as the dealership, i purchased the vehicle from, neither have offered any relief. This has posed a tremendous impediment on my life and threatens to ruin my credit as i am stuck paying for a vehicle that i cannot drive. |
