Eos 4-cyl

  • 60,000 miles
I have been experiencing a sudden & complete loss of power while driving between 0-40 mph on numerous and continuing occasions (2010 VW Eos lux). The problem started at about 60,000 miles, lasts about 4-5 seconds at a time, and occurs randomly. Perhaps the most common speed during the occurrences is about 25 mph. Because the VW dealership cannot replicate the problem, they refuse to take any action. I have complained about this dsg transmission during my entire ownership (original owner). I have always believed it was defective since it has always had an unreasonable and significant lack of acceleration or turbo lag (0-5 mph). I purchased the vehicle in Oregon and now live in southern California.

Eos

  • miles
As I was driving on the interstate my battery light and epc light came on and stated to service engine now. The car started to become jumpy and I immediately took it to the closest dealer. After running a diagnostic, they stated my fuel injector has a leak and is leaking into the exhaust system. I have googled this issue and have found that there was a recall but only for diesel engines for VW which my car is not. Apparently this issue can cause the car to catch fire.
