2009 Volkswagen EOS Brakes Problems

“My 2009 EOS is under recall for the ABS system malfunctioning. I was never informed about this. I replaced my brakes as one mechanic thought because the ABS brake light went on - that was needed. The ABS light still stayed on. Last week the ABS light and and engine light and brake light went on and my car lost power and control on a busy highway at night leaving me on the side of the rode in danger and had to call aaa. …”

“The ABS brake indicator light is on and when I took it to a certified euro car mechanic he said that 8 codes showed up for this. He also said that there was a safety recall 45f2 on this. When I took my vehicle to the vw dealership in panama city, fl. They were extremely rude and said there was no recall for this vehicle. They would not tell me if or when the recall was complete, and if it was completed and the same thing is happening, then there is still a problem with the initial recall that was not fixed.”

“First thing to go on this car was the clutch pack could hear clanking noise when I was slowing down...had to replace.. Next came the failed injector..I was driving the car smoke started coming out of the engine and the exchushed pipe car almost caught on fire fuel had leaded all over my engine ..now the ABS unit needs to be repaired they want $2,600.00.. ..my car has 34,000.00 miles on it...the inside of my doors are peeling...they want another $1,000.00 for that ! ..&the roof gets stuck half way when its really hot!”

“Abs, engine fault, and a whole cluster of lights came on suddenly when the brake was applied at a normal rate of speed (~40mph), with the wheels almost locking up (until brake was released). This caused a potentially extremely dangerous situation, and could have been much worse if there were cars in the next lane, which I had to quickly switch into, to avoid an abrupt braking by the car in front of me. This appears to be a common problem in these 2009 vw models, and we feel should be investigated further.”

“Volkswagen refused to remedy the ABS defect whose symptoms were consistent with NHTSA recall number 16v9133. A letter to the president of Volkswagen of america is enclosed. Only apologies, but no substantive action, resulted.”
