2010 vw eos. Dsg transmission.<43,000 miles. Issue: intermittent - loss of motive power attempting to move from stationary position to reverse/drive and/or delayed power engagement (jerking). Loss of power when shifting into reverse from stationary position on common drive (slight incline) causes the car to roll forward presenting risk of collision (oncoming vehicle from opposing garage, pedestrian, infrastructure). Delayed engagement jerk in same situation presents risk of collision (passing vehicle (waiting for me to move, decides to pass, clutch engages and jerks car backwards), pedestrian, infrastructure). Parallel parking on major city street lost power in reverse and drive causing traffic backup and other vehicles to veer into oncoming traffic lane. Unpredictable delayed drive engagement when pulling into traffic on major city street. Dealer informed dsg clutch pack requires replacement. Located tsb dated 2/6/14 (tb-30-14-01/vw 2028783). Car in for complete servicing 8/7/14. Interactive inspection performed. No indication of potential issue or need for any related maintenance. View as a consumer - negligent conduct given the potential ramifications of dsg failure. Fault should require more than a tsb as loss of vehicle control poses meaningful risk of injury.

For at least the last year the car has been "jerking" and/or "not taking off" when I step on the accelerator (when accelerating from a stand still or if pressing on the pedal when in motion). I have told the auto dealer more than once and was told they checked it and it was fine. So, the last time I took it in (the car only has 39,000 miles on it) I insisted that someone from the dealership take a ride with me as the problem still existed. The tech advisor did and admitted there is definitely a problem. I was 1st told it was a mechatronis coding error having to do with the dsg. Now I have been told it is a clutch pak and that is not covered under warranty. I spoke to vwoa and they said some of the vehicles had been granted dsg warranty extensions however, mine was not one of them because my VIN didn't show in their records. Since I clearly have the problem of the non-acceleration and the jerking; it should have been.

2010 vw eos - with less than 5000 miles, car would lurch when starting after coming to a stop. This is repeated continually. Service people advised mechatronics unit needs to be replaced and part would take at least two weeks. From forums, it appears that this is a problem with many owners of vw and should be acknowledged by the company and a fix made to all units.
