| Description of the problem | 2008 vw eos dsg automatic transmission has same issues as reported by other drivers on newer models. The biggest safety hazard are delays in shifting gears crucial for lane changing and passing. At worst vehicle seems to run out of steam or not be 100 percent there. I have owned another vw with dsg and those symptoms were never present. The problems are on and off. Car has never stalled but most of the incidents involved delayed shift and loss of power. |
