2007 Volkswagen Eos

TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE TACHOMETER REDLINED BEFORE IT DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. I GOT IN AND THE LIGHT WAS OUT, SO I DROVE FOR FIVE MINUTES AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH -- SAME ISSUE WITH TACH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC SHOP. IT IS STILL AT THE SHOP AS THEY ARE TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT. NOTICED THAT VW PUT OUT A TECH BULLETIN IN 2009 (15 09 03 DEC. 16, 2009 2015153 SUPERSEDES T. B. GROUP 15 NUMBER 09-02 DATED NOVEMBER 10, 2009 TO REVISE TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS CODE IN WARRANTY TABLE.) BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE TRUCK BEHIND ME SWERVED TO MISS ME. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS, BUT NO RECALL TO FIX THIS. HELP!!!

THE VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ENGINE DASH LIGHT AND ANTI-SWERVE SLIGHTS COME ON BUT ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN AND REV. TURNING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING WILL USUALLY RESTORE OPERATION UNTIL NEXT EPISODE. THE DEALER CHECKED ALL WIRING AND REPLACED SELECTOR LEVER MODULE FOR $1901 BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. DEALER HAS HAD CAR FOR AN ADDITIONAL WEEK AND IS STUMPED. NOW WAITING FOR TECHNICAL ADVICE FROM VW. AS IS THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE OPERATED SAFELY ON THE STREETS OR ESPECIALLY THE HIGHWAY DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS OF PROPULSION.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS AND AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN USED. DEALER SAYS I NEED AN AIRBAG INFLATOR. THEY CANNOT OR WILL NOT TELL ME IF THIS IS A TAKATA INFLATOR. I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I SPEND $849.00 TO REPLACE THE INFLATOR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH NO AIRBAGS FOR A YEAR AND IT IS DANGEROUS. HELP PLEASE!

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE FAULT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS REPLACED FOR $361.98. THE PART IS LIGHT IN WEIGHT AND FLIMSY, UNLIKE THE ORIGINAL AND THE ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. NOW I AM TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG BECAUSE THE INFLATOR IS NOT WORKING. ESTIMATE IS $849. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH DOES NOT COVER. IS THIS INFLATOR A TAKATA MAKE IN MY CAR? WHY CAN'T THE INFLATOR BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE AIRBAG? I AM DRIVING WITHOUT ANY AIRBAGS, BECAUSE WHEN ONE HAS A PROBLEM, THEY ALL STOP FUNCTIONING. THE CAR IS UNSAFE!

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING ALL DAY FOR WORK AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES OF DRIVING AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND RED LINED FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL I REALIZED I HAD THE CRUISE SET. ONCE I GOT THAT TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN SHIFTED BACK INTO FIRST GEAR AUTOMATICALLY AND JERKED HORRIBLY TRYING TO SLOW ITSELF DOWN. SO THANKFUL TRUCKERS WHERE NOT BEHIND ME! I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A VERY COSTLY TRANSPORT BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO ME WORKING OUT OF TOWN THE SERVICE TEAM INFORMED ME THE MECHATRONIC UNIT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS AN 2007 WITH THE 2.0T AND 96,000 MILES ON THE ODO. VW NOW CLAIMS THIS MODEL ISN'T UNDER ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT MY CLAIM WOULD BE DENIED. NOW I AM FORCED TO FIGURE OUT A $2,500 REPAIR.

AFTER NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS, THE HARD-TOP CONVERTIBLE CONTINUES TO LEAK. THIS HAS RESULTED IN POOLING OF WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS WHENEVER IT RAINS. THE ONLY PLACE THE CAR LEAKS IS AT THE POINT WHERE THE HARD-TOP MEETS THE BODY OF THE CAR. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WHERE THE TRUNK DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY WHEN THE TOP IS CLOSED. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN, THE TRUNK IS UNABLE TO OPEN UNLESS THE HARD-TOP IS "DOWN" OR RETRACTED INTO THE TRUNK.
