“Mar 08 leased 08 vw EOS/ may 08 driving home (1100 miles on car) turned into subdivision going up hill car just stopped. Had to be towed to dealership, they just said there was a problem with the transmission and gave me rental and then called and advised that they would give me a new 08 EOS but it would have to b ordered. They repaired the original EOS and I drove it until aug 08 when I was given a new 08 EOS. At about 4000 the car started lunging, jerking either forward or back and if I was stopped on a hill I could not pull out without using gas and brake to keep from drifting back. …”
