Description of the problem	Mar 08 leased 08 vw eos/ may 08 driving home (1100 miles on car) turned into subdivision going up hill car just stopped. Had to be towed to dealership, they just said there was a problem with the transmission and gave me rental and then called and advised that they would give me a new 08 eos but it would have to b ordered. They repaired the original eos and i drove it until aug 08 when i was given a new 08 eos. At about 4000 the car started lunging, jerking either forward or back and if i was stopped on a hill i could not pull out without using gas and brake to keep from drifting back. Took it in for 5000 mile check up and advised them of the problems -- they put in a new transmission. I now have 8800 miles on the vehicle with the replaced transmission so in essence may 4,000 miles on that transmission and it is beginning to power up by without my actually pushing on the gas pedal and some jerking. I am due for the 10,000 miles check up and i don't know what to expect. I am afraid to drive this car and i never use it to go further than about 20 miles from home. I don't know what recourse i have. I have another 12 months on the lease! I have no complaint with the dealership - they have treated me very well i am just reporting for your information only since i have had 2 vehicles . I have 2 vin numbers i don't have them available at the moment.
