Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have been experiencing a sudden & complete loss of power while driving between 0-40 MPH on numerous and continuing occasions (2010 vw EOS lux). The problem started at about 60,000 miles, lasts about 4-5 seconds at a time, and occurs randomly. Perhaps the most common speed during the occurrences is about 25 MPH. Because the vw dealership cannot replicate the problem, they refuse to take any action. I have complained about this dsg transmission during my entire ownership (original owner). …”
NHTSA complaint #10595556, filed 2014-06, 60,000 miles“The check engine light coming on due to fail turbo undercharge valve, the valve has a rubber seals that is know leak or break. The manufactory has redesign the valve. The automobile will stall or not gain enough engine power.”
NHTSA complaint #10881556, filed 2016-06, 107 miles“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.”
