Did anyone ever demonstrate that there was an actual mechanical problem, and not just a) a few people making creative excuses for their poor driving that caused a crash; and b) a bunch more who hopped on the "Sue Toyota, they have deep pockets!" bandwagon?

Most VW's came from the factory with a 100,000 mile timing belt interval but VW has since dropped that to 80,000 miles.

The question, though, is why the engines are designed so that a part like that
requires changing at specified intervals?
