2010 Volkswagen Eos Problems

LAST WEEK, WHILE TURNING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A SOUND LIKE RUBBER GRINDING. IMMEDIATELY, AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED INDICATING AN AIRBAG FAILURE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON A 4-LANE HIGHWAY, ANOTHER VEHICLE BEGAN A LANE CHANGE WHILE I WAS IN ITS BLIND SPOT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND ATTEMPTED TO SOUND THE HORN TO ALERT THE OTHER MOTORIST TO AVOID COLLISION, HOWEVER THE CAR'S HORN FAILED. THE ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED, BUT THE EXPERIENCE WAS UNNERVING. MY WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL VW SERVICE CENTER ON 10/5/18, AND WAS TOLD THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCK SPRING, A REPAIR WHICH SHE WAS TOLD WAS UNCOVERED BY RECALL. WE WERE A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS, BECAUSE THE DEALER HAD JUST PERFORMED A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL SERVICE IN FEBRUARY, THEN TODAY WE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE AIRBAG BUT NOT THIS RELATED ISSUE. SOME INVESTIGATION IN ONLINE PUBLICATIONS LIKE FORBES, INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING IN 2015, WITH THIS VEHICLE LISTED IN THE MODEL LIST AND PRODUCTION DATES. HOWEVER, VW DOES NOT LIST THIS RECALL UNDER OUR VIN NUMBER. AGAIN WE ARE SUSPICIOUS. IT IS OUR FEELING THAT THE FAILURE OF THE CLOCK SPRING, AFFECTING THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG AND THE CAR HORN (THE HORN IS NOT BROKEN, THE CLOCK SPRING IS), POSES A MOTORIST SAFETY RISK TO THIS AND OTHER VEHICLES IN TRAFFIC.

CLOCKSPRING FAILED AFTER RECALL, CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO BE INOPERABLE AS WELL AS THE HORN AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON DUE TO FAIL TURBO UNDERCHARGE VALVE, THE VALVE HAS A RUBBER SEALS THAT IS KNOW LEAK OR BREAK. THE MANUFACTORY HAS REDESIGN THE VALVE. THE AUTOMOBILE WILL STALL OR NOT GAIN ENOUGH ENGINE POWER.

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. *TR

SEPT 20515 - SAFETY RECALL 69L2 - STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING, REPLACED 2016 - WENT OUT AGAIN 9-20, 5 YEARS LATER. VW DENIED REPLACEMENT AS IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T STAY ON. THE HORN, DOESN'T WORK, OR OTHER CONTROL ON STEERING COLUMN. STEERING WHEEL STARTED SQUEAKING IN AUG. 2020. IT STARED AS I WAS DRIVING, HAD TO USE HORN TO STOP SOMEONE FROM BACKING INTO ME AND IT DIDN'T WORK, THOUGHT I PERHAPS DIDN'T PRESS HORN HARD ENOUGH, NOT THE CASE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ALSO, CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO, ETC. ANYTHING CONTROLLED BY STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. I NEED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. ALSO THE "AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR" STOPPED WORKING, REPLACED I HAD TO PAY.

I HAVE REPLACED MY CLOCK SPRING TWICE IN 3 YEARS, AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP, SOUTHEAST VW IN SANTA ANA, CA. MY STEERING WHEEL WILL MAKE A NOISE AND ALL CONTROLS WILL STOP WORKING AND AIRBAG LIGHT WILL TURN ON. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY ARE NOW STATING THE CLOCK SPRING IS BROKEN AND ARE WANTING TO CHARGE ME $541.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MULTIPLE EXTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS. LIGHTS CONTINUED TO GO IN AND OUT. TOOK CAR TO VW DEALERSHIP. IT WAS FOUND THE FUSE AND FUSEBOX WERE MELTED. OTHER VW MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE VW EOS IS NOT RECALLED DUE TO THE MELTING FUSE BOX. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS RARE TO HAPPEN. VW CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE COSTS DUE TO THE FUSE AND FUSE BOX MELTING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT ON A DARK CURVY TWO LANE ROAD, THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT, FOG LIGHT, MARKER LIGHT/SIGNAL, RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT/SIGNAL, THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, AND STRANGELY THE LEFT FRONT SIDE MAKER, ALL WENT OUT AT ONCE. ONLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP, SIDE MARKER LIGHT, AND MIRROR SIGNAL LIGHT WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN SHE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY I CHECKED THE FUSES AND FOUND THE 30-AMP FUSE AT THE REAR OF THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK WAS VERY HOT BUT NOT BLOWN. WHEN I WIGGLED IT ALL THE AFFECTED LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I THEN REMOVED THE FUSE AND THE PLASTIC AROUND THE TERMINAL THAT WAS TOWARDS THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS MELTED. THE FUSE BLOCK ITSELF ALSO SUFFERED SOME MELTING AT THIS TERMINAL. THE 30-AMP FUSE WAS NOT BLOWN SO I KNOW POWER DIDN'T EXCEED THE CAPACITY OF THE FUSE THAT IS THE CORRECT SIZE/RATING FOR THAT LOCATION. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I AM FINDING THAT THIS POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND CONFIRMED SAFETY HAZARD IS MORE COMMON THAN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. SHE IS NOW AFRAID OF DRIVING HER CAR AT NIGHT IN FEAR THAT ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AND CAUSE HER TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT EITHER FROM HER LEAVING THE ROAD DUE TO POOR LIGHTING OR GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO INOPERABLE TAIL LIGHTS. ANY INFO OR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

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.

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. *TR
