Description of the problem	I purchased my 2009 vw eos on august 30, 2008. On september 29, 2008 after only approximately 1,300 miles, a valve that measures the temperature of the clutch malfunctioned. As a "safety" precaution the transition will not change gears if the clutch temperature is too high. This valve malfunctioned while i was on the freeway. The car operated as though i put it in neutral and revved the engine. Once out of oncoming traffic it took me three tries to restart my car. I proceeded to exit the freeway and get to a safer destination. While doing so this malfunction occurred two more times. Upon taking my car to the dealer to be repaired i was initially told that the engine switch malfunctioned. Only upon demanding to speak with the head mechanic and being asked to fully describe the situation that the true problem was discovered. It was made clear to me that this is a common problem with this model. Subsequently, the malfunctioning vale causes a pressure problem in the transition. I am anticipating this problem to occur again and have already consulted with a lawyer for lemon law.
