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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN EOS. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A RUMBLING NOISE AND A SPEED WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT A PIECE OF METAL UNDER THE HOOD BECAME LOOSE AND WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REMOVAL OF THE METAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE OF WHICH PART WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. UPDATED 06/05/12 *BF THE DEALER STATED THE FLYWHEEL WAS DEFECTIVE.
