2012 VOLKSWAGEN EOS Fuelpropulsion System Problems

WHILE DRIVING A 2012 VW EOS, THE ENGINE STUMBLED AND UNLOADED TONS OF SMOKE OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTOR, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR 120,000 MILES. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT VW WILL NOT PROACTIVELY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTORS, POTENTIALLY CAUSING 3 MORE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN A FUEL INJECTOR FAILS THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF A CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE DUE TO THE ENGINE MISFIRE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND VW WOULD NOT COVER THE FAILURE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER - WHICH SEEMS UNFAIR, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF VW'S ISSUE WITH ITS RECENT EMISSION SCANDAL. I HAD 2 INDEPENDENT MECHANICS VERIFY THE IMPACT A FAILED FUEL INJECTOR HAS, YET MY VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP DID NOT AGREE MINE WAS CAUSED...

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE AT LOW IDLE OR STOPPED. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF FIXING THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS FAILED TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP FIRST REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS, TWO MOTHS LATER WHEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED THEY REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND TWO MONTHS LATER THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ON TWO OCCASIONS MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

ON MARCH 18, 2016 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUTTER AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE. IT WOULD ALSO NOT ACCELERATE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND CHECK FOR A FLAT. I DID NOT HAVE A FLAT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE FOUR FUEL INJECTORS WAS FAULTY. THEY INFORMED ME THAT VOLKSWAGEN WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF THE FUEL INJECTORS SINCE THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEM, BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO SO. THE DEALER ONLY REPLACED ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER CARE ON MARCH 21, 2016 AND I WAS TOLD THAT VW HAD ISSUED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN EOS. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CYLINDER ONE FUEL INJECTOR WAS STUCK OPEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.
