Description of the problem	I purchased my tiguan three years ago as a certified preowned car. It was working great until a few days ago i went to go start it while it was in my driveway and it wouldn't start. I had it towed to first a mechanic where i was told that the valves were bent and no compression was in any of my cylinders. I had it towed to the dealer where they confirmed that my timing chain tensioner had failed causing massive engine damage. No warnings. No indicators. But a bill for over $6,000 which volkswagen has only told me to "keep receipts and proof should they issue a recall in the future." vw is ignoring a massive fault in their engines that makes their tensioners fail unexpectedly and prematurely and ruin engines without the driver needing to have move the vehicle and they're doing nothing to warn consumers of this issue.

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.
