Description of the problem	While driving my car from wv to ny, i broke down in pa. My car was making an odd noise and rumbling feeling while i was driving on the freeway at 70 mph and would worsen during acceleration. I was very concerned, so i pulled off to a gas station. At this point no check engine lights were on. After i filled up on gas, the car would not start. It was towed to vw dealership in northern pa, where i was told an air hose was broken. 10 days later, my car began making the same noise and driving poorly again while i was driving on the express in long island, and was exacerbated by accelerating. My car could not accelerate above 30 mph, so i promptly took my car to the mechanics, where i was told the timing chain tensioner and guide, exhaust valves, gasket heads and spark plugs needed to be replaced. Additionally in 1400 miles, my car had consumed all of the its oil and was on running on fumes. Apparently my car consumes oil at an absurd and unacceptable rate. The timing chain tensioner failing has been a common problem amongst vw 2. 0tsi engines and currently there are multiple lawsuits filed against this type of engine, as is the consumption of oil. My car was not involved in an accident due to these failures, but that is only because i pulled over to a safe location as soon as i felt something was wrong. Again a check engine light never came prior to both mechanic visits. However this could have caused an accident and may continue to cause one in other vehicles.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
