| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2008 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | DSG AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ISSUE: THE CAR BRIEFLY LOSES POWER WHILE ACCELERATING AND DOWNSHIFTING, THEN SUDDENLY MAKES A HARD CLUNK SOUND AND LUNGES FORWARD. THIS HAS MADE MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE A BIT STRESSFUL. THIS FAILURE OCCURS REGULARLY THOUGH I CAN AVOID IT BY USING MANUAL MODE TO HOLD THE LOWER GEARS LONGER. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE VW DEALER BACK IN THE EARLY SUMMER OF 2008 AND AS EXPECTED, THEY "FOUND" NOTHING WRONG AS HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN THE VWVORTEX FORUMS. *TR |
| 2007 | SEAT BELTS:FRONT | UNLIKE OTHER VW MODELS, THERE IS NO WAY TO BUCKLE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WITHOUT A TWIST IN THE SEAT BELT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT . THEY CONTACTED VW AND WE WERE TOLD IT IS THE WAY IT WAS ENGINEERED. WE COMPARED IT WITH ANOTHER EOS, WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE THEN COMPARED IT TO A PASSAT, WHICH DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO BEING UNCOMFORTABLE, I FEAR THAT IT WILL DECREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SEAT BELT. I ALSO THINK WITH THE DISCOMFORT, PEOPLE MAY NOT WEAR IT. *TR |
