| Description of the problem | My 08 vw eos has been having a jerking (feeling like being rear ended) and sputtering in the transmission since i have had it, bought the end of june 08 i have contacted the dealership about this several times to include just before my surgery nov 11, 09. It was in the shop several times and i was told everytime there was no issue. I finally recv'd a notice in the mail dec 22, 09 from vw saying that there has been an issue but no fix till summer 2010. On nov 11 09 i had to have neck surgery because the car jerk is so bad it feels like i am being rear ended i would have to look in my rear view mirror to see if i had been hit. And i have told the dealership this as well. After telling the dealership i had surgery because of this they are requesting my car to come back to the shop and it will be dropped off tomorrow 2/5/10 but there is still no fix for this issue according to the letter i recv'd in dec. *jb |
