Description of the problem	Driving home on the freeway the engine started making abnormal noise (ticking). Called the dealership where i purchased the car and let them know i was bringing it in to be checked out. On the way there the engine stopped running and i pulled over and had it towed to the dealership. Several days later dealership called and told me the timing chain broke and catastrophicly destroyed the engine. Purchased the vehicle certified used with 25,578 miles. At the time of the engine failure it had 62,569 miles. The timing chain that destroyed the engine prematurely failed. I heard about a class action lawsuit settlement in new jersey for this problem and it appeared my make and model vehicle was in the group to be reimbursed for damages. With no other options i had to take money from my retirement savings and replace the engine. After about one month i received a text from the dealership saying they had bad news. Apparently after replacing the engine, they started the car and in two minutes they heard an abnormal knock coming from the engine and told me that the new engine was going to need to be replaced. Now i just found out that my year vehicle 2013 cc vw is not part of the class action lawsuit. All the exact issues i have been reading about have happened to my vehicle. Obviously this defect is not limited to only the vehicles in the class action lawsuit. I purchased this vehicle and paid extra for it because it was certified used. I needed a very reliable commute vehicle to get to work and back home safely. After the dealership having my car for over two months, i was driving a couple days later and the car hesitated at a stop and the service engine light came on. Had it towed back to the dealership and they told me one of the fuel injectors was "acting up". Vwof a knew about this problem and should have recalled the timing chain. Now i have to give them more money!!!
