Description of the problem	Timing chain issue: on nov 18 2015 my wife was driving from work when suddenly the car suddenly stalled. Car was towed to vw dealership in irving tx,where they did diagnostics and concluded that the timing chain slipped out and broke the cylinder head. The total cost was fixing that was around 5000$. The dealership told me that they were no recall on the timing chain issue and i should call vw of america, which i did. I asked them why the dealership whenever i take the car for service didnt not request i change the timing chain. According to them timing chain is not part of the routine service because its supposed to last the life of the car. The vw representative told me i should go ahead and fix the car and whenever they have a recall on the issue they will refund me the fixing cost. Now i am stuck with vehicle in my driveway because i cannot afford to fix the vehicle. And vw will not cover the costs even though they are selling a vehicle which they state the timing chain doesnt need to be changed.
