POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2009 VW EOS DGS TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLIP WHEN ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A BUMP LIKE THE CLUTCH ENGAGED, BUT THEN THERE WAS A MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER (TORQUE) AND THEN ANOTHER BUMP LIKE THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE RECENT RECALL APPLIED ALREADY, AND WE'VE EXPERIENCED A PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE PRNDS LIGHTS FLASHING (REPORTED ALREADY) AND THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGING WHILE DRIVING 40MPH, AND ANOTHER INCIDENT WITH ONLY THE D LIGHT FLASHING, ALSO REMAINING IN NEUTRAL, FROM STOPPED WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE A PARKING SPOT. BOTH TIMES THE CAR HAD TO BE TURNED OFF & ON TO RESTORE THE TRANSMISSION TO OPERATIONAL CONDITION. THE VW DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY EVENTS IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER FOR ANY TRANSMISSION EVENTS. (PRESUMABLY AN ERROR BIG ENOUGH TO REMAIN IN NEUTRAL AND FLASH PRNDS OR D SHOULD AT THE MINIMUM LOG AN ERROR!) COMPLAINTS FOR PREVIOUS 2 INCIDENTS ARE 10290234 AND 10285719. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED VOLKSWAGEN EOS ON 08/31/2011. ITS A CONVERTIBLE, FEW DAYS AFTER THAT IT RAINED AND THE CAR WAS LEAKING FROM THE JOINT WHERE THE HOOD ATTACHES TO THE WINDSCREEN. THE WHOLE CAR WAS FLOODED WITH WATER, I HAD TO DRAIN THE WATER OUT AND TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ON 09/09/2011. THEY SAID TO BRING THE CAR BACK AGAIN 09/13/2011. I CALLED THEM BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID THEY WILL CALL ME, I KEPT CALLING AND FINALLY ON 09/19/2011 I DROPPED THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR BACK, THE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE FIXED THE CAR, I HAD THE SALES PERSON NUMBER I CALLED HIM FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE MANUFACTURER. I WILL NOT EVEN A WEEK THAT I HAD STARTED FACING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR THEY SAID THEY HAVE THE INSPECTION DONE AND EVERYTHING IS FINE THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS DONE ON THIS MODEL AND IF ITS MANUFACTURERS LIABILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. *TR
