NHTSA Complaint #10294330 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN EOS

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 REMAIN IN NEUTRAL AND FLASH PRNDS OR D SHOULD AT THE MINIMUM LOG AN ERROR!) COMPLAINTS FOR PREVIOUS 2 INCIDENTS ARE 10290234 AND 10285719. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
