Consumer Description
On 2 separate occasions, I lost transmission service to my 2016 VW EOS. 65K miles. While driving, my RPM increased dramatically, and it felt like the car went into neutral and wouldn't accelerate. I came to a slow, uncontrolled stop on the side of the road. The EPC code, check engine light and the gear indicator warning lights were flashing. It was very scary to not have any control of the car. Very unsafe situation. The code reader indicated code U0103 meaning "lost communication with gear shift module". LP and Sons DeLand FL, repaired the vehicle, citing: remove and replace transmission gear shift.
