2010 Volkswagen EOS Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Vehicle stalls when attempting to take off vehicle nearly dies when coming to a stop. Was told by dealer the transmission needs replaced. From what I have read the early version of this transmission has been highly problematic. I have contacted Volkswagen america and they informed me that there was no kind of recall for this car related to the transmission. I have however read of many other customers that have had problems with this transmission. …”

“My car doesn't always go in reverse. The rem panel signal goes from 0-5 in minutes but feels like it's stalled. The engine light is always on. I read that there has been a recall because of a gear malfunction. And an extended warranty for cars up to 10years old or 100,000 miles. I fit into this category.

Well I'm sorry Volkswagen I don't have money to waste, especially when they know that this has been a serious problem. I have children that I have to transport back and forth and at this point I dont feel that my Volkswagen is a reliable car. …”

“For at least the last year the car has been jerking and/or not taking off when I step on the accelerator (when accelerating from a stand still or if pressing on the pedal when in motion). I have told the auto dealer more than once and was told they checked it and it was fine. So, the last time I took it in (the car only has 39,000 miles on it) I insisted that someone from the dealership take a ride with me as the problem still existed. The tech advisor did and admitted there is definitely a problem. I was 1st told it was a mechatronis coding error having to do with the dsg. …”
