2008 VOLKSWAGEN EOS Electrical System Problems

While in drive, the car jumps out of gear and PRNDS lights are illuminated. The car is no longer able to put back in gear and is idle.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 VOLKSWAGEN EOS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED A QUART OF OIL EVERY MONTH. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY, THE ECM HAD TO BE RE-FLASHED. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR DOOR WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN DRIVE IT WILL GO DOWN I FEEL BACKWARDS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY YES, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THIS THE DISTRACTION IS GOING TO CAUSE PEOPLE ACCIDENTS. THIS MAKES TEXTING WHILE DRIVING SEEM LIKE A SAFE WAY TO BEHAVE.

GOT PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM. COST WAS PROHIBITIVE TO US, SO WE ARE DOING WITHOUT. A GREAT SAFETY PROBLEM.

I DON'T THINK A $38,000 CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD SHOULD LEAK RAIN IN IT ALL THE TIME AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOP NOT WORK PROPERLY - IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS AND IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FIXING A PROBLEM THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED LAST FRIDAY. VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT MECHANIC EVEN TOLD ME THAT 98% OF EOS LEAK RAIN INSIDE THEM AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS DON'T WORK.

I HAVE HAD A 2008 EOS FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AFTER 4 MONTHS, IT HAS HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS INCLUDING ELECTRICAL SEAT NOT WORKING PROPERLY, LEAKS IN WINDOW, CHEAP MATERIALS FALLING OFF NEEDING REPLACEMENT, BRAKES NEEDING SOONER THAN MOST CARS (BRAKES ARE VERY LONG,TAKES FOREVER TO COME TO STOP). AT ABOUT 1YR I STARTED HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH HOW IT DROVE. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP, ONE TIME IT WAS IN FOR ONE MONTH! IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH LURCHING, SURGING, JERKING AND LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING OR PUTTING INTO SPORT MODE, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND LEAKING FROM WINDOWS AS WELL. THEY REPLACED ONE PART (THAT WAS OFFICIALLY RECALLED) AND THE CAR DROVE WORSE. THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW HAVE A NEW RATTLING PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE ENGINE, ALONG WITH...

WINDOWS ON MY 2008 VOLKSWAGEN EOS WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE RETRACTABLE TOP ALSO LEAKS AND DRIPS CAUSING DISTRACTION DURING EPISODES OF DRIVING IN THE RAIN. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR THESE ITEMS AND SEVERAL OTHERS UP TO 5 TIMES. THE SERVICE WRITER (MATT) AT THE DEALERSHIP (SIERRA MOTORS IN OTTAWA IL 815-434-3240) CLAIMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SOFTWARE FOR THE WINDOWS AND VW IS RESEARCHING THE ISSUES AND MUST CREATE BETTER PROGRAMMING. NOW THE RADIO HAS BEGUN TO FADE IN AND OUT. SEEMS LIKE THE CAR HAS MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED VW DIRECTLY (800-822-8987) AND BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER OF 90002357 WITH A REGIONAL CASE MGR PETE NARADONI. PETE WAS NOT AWARE OF A SOFTWARE ISSUE WITH THE PROGRAMMING OF THE CAR WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE IS NOT BEING HONEST WITH ME. VW NOR THE...
