2007 Volkswagen Eos

CAR WAS PARKED DURING INCIDENT. FOUND BACK GLASS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT APPEARS TO HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED AS THE TRIM WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 FT AWAY FROM THE CAR AND ANY LOOSE GLASS WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR ONLY. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY IMPACT OR VANDALISM. CONTACTED VW SERVICE DEPT WHO STATES THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING AND INDICATED NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE THERE WAS IN FACT SEVERAL REPORTS OF VW SPONTANEOUS EXPLODED REAR GLASS AND EVEN MORE REPORTS OF EXPLODING SUN ROOFS. THANKFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF IS NOT ATTRIBUTED TO A REPORTED VW PROBLEM, COSTING ME $750 TO GET REPAIRED. *TR

TIRE SIZE 235-40-18 - ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT LOW PROFILE WHEEL TIRE SIZE EXHIBITS NUMEROUS BLOW OUTS IN ROAD HAZARDS SUCH AS POT HOLES AND CAUSES EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BLOWN 6 TIRES IN 2 YEARS COSTING OVER $3000.00 PLUS IN REPAIRS NOT TO MENTION THE DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SAFETY CONDITIONS CREATED BY A BLOWN TIRE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT IS A MIRACLE I WAS NOT KILLED . I BELIEVE LOW PROFILE TIRES IN GENERAL ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE OUTLAWED BELOW (245 PROFILE AT LEAST). I REQUEST THAT THE PROBLEM BE INVESTIGATED AND DATA COLLECTED, ANALYZED AND CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AS - I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON SAFETY COMPLAINT. WITH LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF BLOG STORIES OF HARROWING BLOW OUT EVENTS SIMILAR TO MINE ON THE INTERNET. THANK YOU. *TR

I BROUGHT A VOLKSWAGEN EOS 2007 AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING DEFAULT LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I HIT A SPEEDBUMP. TOOK TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND I WAS I HAD PAY TO GET FIXED I DIDNOT FEEL THAT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED OR RECALL. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK THAT MORNING AND I TOTAL MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS DRIVING ON WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EVERYTHING DONOT REMEMBER NOTHING. I HAD CHEST PAIN FOR OVER A MONTH. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY SEND A ENGINEER TO LOOK AT THE CAR BUT THE ENGINEER NEVER CONTACTED ME AS TO HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPEN. I READ HIS REPORT HE LIE SAYING IT WAS A WEAK BATTERY AS I SAID TOOK TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I ALSO TALK TO A MECHANIC THAT WORK ON CARS STATED THAT IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED BUT IT DID. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING A VOLKSWAGEN AND I PAID CASH FOR 20,000 AND I AM OUT OF MY MONEY. THEY TREATED ME LIKE I WAS STUPID AND VERY RUDE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS ONE ELSE IN THE COMPANY I COULD TALK TO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS. *TR

TOOK IT TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AN THEY GOING TO TELL ME IT IS MY FAULT WHICH I THINK IS A LIE. I REALLY NEED YOU GUYS TO BEND YOUR ENGINEER TO CHECK OUT THE BLACK BOX.I AM BEST TO BE ALIVE MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A ME BUT I HAD A ANGEL LOOKING OVER ME. THE CLAIM NUMBER IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT A USED VOLKSWAGEN EOS ON 08/31/2011. ITS A CONVERTIBLE, FEW DAYS AFTER THAT IT RAINED AND THE CAR WAS LEAKING FROM THE JOINT WHERE THE HOOD ATTACHES TO THE WINDSCREEN. THE WHOLE CAR WAS FLOODED WITH WATER, I HAD TO DRAIN THE WATER OUT AND TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ON 09/09/2011. THEY SAID TO BRING THE CAR BACK AGAIN 09/13/2011. I CALLED THEM BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID THEY WILL CALL ME, I KEPT CALLING AND FINALLY ON 09/19/2011 I DROPPED THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR BACK, THE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE FIXED THE CAR, I HAD THE SALES PERSON NUMBER I CALLED HIM FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE MANUFACTURER. I WILL NOT EVEN A WEEK THAT I HAD STARTED FACING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR THEY SAID THEY HAVE THE INSPECTION DONE AND EVERYTHING IS FINE THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS DONE ON THIS MODEL AND IF ITS MANUFACTURERS LIABILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. *TR

2007 VOLKSWAGEN EOS WITH AUTOMATIC DSG TRANSMISSION. . HAD JUST EXITED A FREEWAY AND COME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHT TUNED GREEN, CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS SO COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 20-30 MPH. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, PARKED, AND SHUT OFF ENGINE. UPON RESTART, COULD NOT GET CAR INTO REVERSE. HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. VW SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE EXPLAINED THAT TRANSMISSION WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE. ALSO SAID I WAS FORTUNATE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. NO DIAGNOSIS AS TO WHAT CAUSE IS AS OF YET. *TR

POWER WINDOWS DO NOT OPERATE IN SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES. WITH NO ICE OR FROST ON WINDOWS THEY JUST DO NOT WANT TO MOVE IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES, 30 DEGREES F AND BELOW. NOTIFIED DEALER, THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO RESET THE WINDOW CONTROLLER WHICH GETS THE WINDOW WORKING UNTIL THE NEXT SUB FREEZING TEMPERATURE EVENT. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. BECAUSE THE WINDOWS NEED TO MOVE TO OPEN THE DOOR IN THIS CAR AND A TRIP TO THE DEALER IS REQUIRED TO GET THE WINDOWS WORKING AGAIN THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
