2009 Volkswagen Eos owner complaints

2009 vw eos dgs transmission seemed to slip when accelerating into traffic. There was a bump like the clutch engaged, but then there was a momentary loss of power (torque) and then another bump like the clutch fully engaged. This vehicle has had the recent recall applied already, and we've experienced a previous problem with the prnds lights flashing (reported already) and the transmission disengaging while driving 40mph, and another incident with only the d light flashing, also remaining in neutral, from stopped while trying to leave a parking spot. Both times the car had to be turned off & on to restore the transmission to operational condition. The vw dealership was unable to find any events in the car's computer for any transmission events. (presumably an error big enough to re

Driving 60 MPH during rush hour traffic on highway when suddenly engine reved prnd lights started blinking and car had no power. I managed to get to shoulder and the car would drive 20 MPH on shoulder. Faster the engine reved. Vw says recall on 2009 eos does not include my VIN number. I could have been killed if the people behind me didn't manage to avoid hitting me. Vw will not assist me because my power train warranty ran out at 100k miles. My car has 103k. I am concerned that more cars were involved in the recall. Flash of death article by abc news is exactly what happened to me on nov 6 2015. Vw says my car is not affected. I disagree.

August 2013: 2009 vw eos abruptly lost power, would not accelerate, and the dashboard (prnd) flashed erratically; happened numerous times since. A vw master mechanic of 14 years told me that the dsg temperature sensor should be repaired and mechatronics unit should also be replaced. He advised I take the vehicle to a dealer for the recall/warranty repairs. Prestige vw, turnersville, nj told to replace the transmission (5700 dollars), due to "internal transmission issues". No definitive problem identified.I was then told they would contact vwoa so they "could go to bat for me" because they understand that "no one buys a Volkswagen expecting the transmission to go at 74k miles". A claim would be submitted on my behalf; due to new vw policy they 'must' use a third-party claim service-vw w

2 incidents: sept 2009, dsg transmission flashed prnds and shifted into low gear. Oct 21 2009, dsg transmission flashed d and shifted into neutral. In the 1st incident, I was driving about 45 MPH, and had shifted to neutral. When shifting back to drive, the dashboard flashed the prnds lights at me and the transmission shifted to a very low gear (2nd?), making the car redline and slowing the car abruptly on a busy street. The car would not respond correctly until turned off and restarted. (dangerous while driving). In the 2nd incident, while parked I shifted from p to d. The car flashed d on the dashboard and remained in neutral. There was no immediate danger. Again, I had to turn off the car to reset the problem. I don't know if drive can become disengaged while driving thoug

I slowly at 5mph went over a bump and my car went automatically into neutral, all of the P R N D S lights on the dash started blinking and the car just kept revving when I tried to put it into gear. I had the car towed to the dealership and it is currently there. I looked on Kelly Blue Book and saw there was a recall for my vehicle type and the recall states exactly what happened to my car. Can my VIN number be added to this recall since it is the very same mechanical issue? Here is the information I found on the recall NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 09V333000 Report Date: AUG 20, 2009 Vehicles Affected: 16000 What You Should Do: VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, INSPECT THE DSG AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE AN AFFECTED DSG TEMPERATURE SENSOR FREE OF CHARGE.

I purchased my 2009 vw eos on august 30, 2008. On september 29, 2008 after only approximately 1,300 miles, a valve that measures the temperature of the clutch malfunctioned. As a "safety" precaution the transition will not change gears if the clutch temperature is too high. This valve malfunctioned while I was on the freeway. The car operated as though I put it in neutral and revved the engine. Once out of oncoming traffic it took me three tries to restart my car. I proceeded to exit the freeway and get to a safer destination. While doing so this malfunction occurred two more times. Upon taking my car to the dealer to be repaired I was initially told that the engine switch malfunctioned. Only upon demanding to speak with the head mechanic and being asked to fully describe the situation tha

I have a epc light that goes off and on and reduces the power and speed to 10 MPH sometimes not able to get going plus engine light also pops on I almost got rear ended because of these lights

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.

I purchased my 2009 vw eos from a dealeriship "as-is" and I have had to replace the MAF sensor, throttlebody had to be serviced with in the first year of owning. Oil leaking from engine onto the water pump. Now, the ABS and traction electrical system is completely messed up and I can't drive it. Estimation of $2500 worth of work.

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.

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. Vw will only replace ABS if a "certain code" shows up which they will not tell you about till you pay the 150.00 diagnostic fee- then tell you the vehicle that has been recalled is not going to be repaired free of charge. In fact- it will cost 2700.00 to replace the entire ABS system - which needs replacing- but only if it accepts the computer updating system. Which is b

When the transmission gets hot, the temperature sensor overheats and automatically puts the car in neutral when you try and change gears (from drive to reverse). The dashboard lights start flashing the transmission lights. The car must be turned off and restarted in hope it will work again. There was a recall for this and apparently it was completed in 2009. Vw told us they will not fix it again.

While driving down the highway I heard what I thought was the sound of a rock hitting my windshield and the next thing I hear is the sunroof exploding raining shards of glass on me and the interior of the car.
