| Description of the problem | I was driving home from baltimore on the freeway going about 70mph and the vehicle started losing speed and nothing i did would get it to go again. I had to pull over put the car in park, shut the car off and then i was able to go again. This happened about 6 more times driving home to pittsburgh. I went to the dealer and they "fixed it". It worked for a short period of time. Then it happened again and they couldn't find anything wrong with it so they put seafoam in my car. It happened several more times and they had my car for months. They think the seafoam hid the problem for almost a year. They replaced fuel injectors and that helped for about 400 miles. Then they replaced the part that is the equivalent of a caarburetor. This fixed it for about 5 months this time. I just made a trip to chicago and thank god this did not happen there as i would have been killed. Now i am at 85,000 and it just happened on august 6, 2015. Once again vw corporate is not being of much assistance. I was told by vw coporate in february 2015 to dump the car and they would give me $1,000 off a new vw. This is unacceptable. This car is not safe and i am not getting anywhere with either the dealer or vw corporate. I have read other blogs and i know that i am not the only eos owner having this problem. Will this take gm or dodge deaths to get someone's attention? I really hope i am not the person killed. |
