Description of the problem	I was driving my vehicle uphill when i heard a strange noise come from under the hood. I managed to pull into the driveway and park and didn't think much about it. A few hours later when i tried to start the car, it would not turn on. The engine would crank very loudly but would never turn over. I assumed it might be the oil so i changed it, filled it with gas since it was a bit on the low side, and finally had a neighbor charge the battery with theirs in case it might be the battery. From fear that i might further damage the engine i waited a while before trying again. When i did nothing had changed. I had no choice but to call a mechanic and after him having not a clue what might be the problem i resorted to having the car towed back to the dealership 2 hours away in santa monica, ca. One day later, i received a call from the vw dealership informing me that my timing chain had unexpectedly broken and further damaged a few valves/pistons/etc. When i asked how it might've happened they did not have an answer for me but instead told me it would cost me upwards of $5,000 to even begin reparations. After a bit of my own research online i discovered that timing chains should usually last the life of the car and never break that soon. I also read that vw has been somewhat known to have faulty timing chains and that my best bet was to file some sort of complaint. I was never informed of having to get the timing chain checked nor was i was that such an incident could occur. As a way of hopefully not having to spend nearly what the car is worth for a damage not incurred by myself i am filing this complaint.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
