This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
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.
