| 2009 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I PURCHASED MY 2009 VW EOS ON AUGUST 30, 2008. ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 AFTER ONLY APPROXIMATELY 1,300 MILES, A VALVE THAT MEASURES THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CLUTCH MALFUNCTIONED. AS A "SAFETY" PRECAUTION THE TRANSITION WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS IF THE CLUTCH TEMPERATURE IS TOO HIGH. THIS VALVE MALFUNCTIONED WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR OPERATED AS THOUGH I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND REVVED THE ENGINE. ONCE OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IT TOOK ME THREE TRIES TO RESTART MY CAR. I PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND GET TO A SAFER DESTINATION. WHILE DOING SO THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES. UPON TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THE ENGINE SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED. ONLY UPON DEMANDING TO SPEAK WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC AND BEING ASKED TO FULLY DESCRIBE THE SITUATION THAT THE TRUE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED. IT WAS MADE CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE MALFUNCTIONING VALE CAUSES A PRESSURE PROBLEM IN THE TRANSITION. I AM ANTICIPATING THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR AGAIN AND HAVE ALREADY CONSULTED WITH A LAWYER FOR LEMON LAW. *TR |
| 2010 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY BATTERY LIGHT AND EPC LIGHT CAME ON AND STATED TO SERVICE ENGINE NOW. THE CAR STARTED TO BECOME JUMPY AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALER. AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC, THEY STATED MY FUEL INJECTOR HAS A LEAK AND IS LEAKING INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT ONLY FOR DIESEL ENGINES FOR VW WHICH MY CAR IS NOT. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO CATCH FIRE. *TR |
