My car doesn't always go in reverse. The rem panel signal goes from 0-5 in minutes but feels like it's stalled. The engine light is always on. I read that there has been a recall because of a gear malfunction. And an extended warranty for cars up to 10years old or 100,000 miles. I fit into this category. This happens when I start the car and stop at a stop sign. I've taken my car to vw dealerships and private dealers and they can't seem to figure it out.

Vehicle stalls when attempting to take off vehicle nearly dies when coming to a stop. Was told by dealer the transmission needs replaced. From what I have read the early version of this transmission has been highly problematic. I have contacted volkswagen america and they informed me that there was no kind of recall for this car related to the transmission. I have however read of many other customers that have had problems with this transmission. From what I have read volkswagen has given a goodwill extended warranty on these transmissions, however they say ours is not part of this even though our car was built in early november 2009. Our car is a 2010 and has most all the symptoms the 2008 and 2009 have/had that I have read about. In my personal opinion and being a mechanic working for a nationally known tractor dealer myself I feel more should be done by volkswagen, even if they are pressured to do so. I feel our car specifically is a bit dangerous and I fear it will only become worse with time.

My 2010 vw eos continuously slips into neutral. Very dangerous trying to cross an intersection or merge into moving traffic. I'm scared to drive it

My 2010 vw eos is very flawed. It will sometimes run perfectly and other times even right in heavy traffic the transmission will slip out of gear into neutral and won't re engage. Sometimes right in the middle of an intersection or just trying to pull out somewhere. Extremely dangerous!!!!!
