Description of the problem	07/05/19, was driving at approx 3:30 pm west on i-90 at the 68 mile marker when the car suddenly and without warning died. The next day i was informed by a aaa mechanic that the timing chain had most likely been the culprit and accordingly to same, destroyed the engine requiring a new engine. I found out later that there had been a class action suit against same that had been settled between vw and the claimants though i had traveled 100,020 miles when this occurred and was entitled to "0". I believe that this occurrence has happened to numerously, and like myself, many would not be apprised of the potential issue since most would not have any reason to think otherwise. However, i was traveling at 70 mph and in the middle of a four or five lane federal interstate in rush hour traffic - and in the chicago vicinity - had i had less forethought a terrible calamity could have occurred. I believe that vw should recall every engine with this malady - and should do so despite settling with a bunch of lawyers. [see https://timingchainlitigation. Com/]. I am out the entirety of my investment and still with 6k left to pay on the car [i bought it used] over the next 2. 5 years. Saying that, i am writing to you to urge you to consider taking action against this engine fault and produced by vw. My car is now a big doorstop in a garage in shaumberg ill. I had to pop for two one way tickets for me and my wife to get back home to kansas city. Yes, precious cargo [my wife] was also in the vehicle when it stopped dead going 70 mph on a federal interstate! Thanks you - [xxx]
