Description of the problem	August 2013: 2009 vw eos abruptly lost power, would not accelerate, and the dashboard (prnd) flashed erratically; happened numerous times since. A vw master mechanic of 14 years told me that the dsg temperature sensor should be repaired and mechatronics unit should also be replaced. He advised i take the vehicle to a dealer for the recall/warranty repairs. Prestige vw, turnersville, nj told to replace the transmission (5700 dollars), due to "internal transmission issues". No definitive problem identified. I was then told they would contact vwoa so they "could go to bat for me" because they understand that "no one buys a volkswagen expecting the transmission to go at 74k miles". A claim would be submitted on my behalf; due to new vw policy they 'must' use a third-party claim service-vw would no longer accept direct claims. I called the dealer several times and was put off each time promised a return call. It has been nearly 5 weeks and nothing has been done. I called vwoa directly, they indicated that they i) have no record of a claim initiated by the dealer; ii) do not require dealers to use a third-party claim service; and iii) rely on their dealers' determination of problems. I am seriously concerned for my and my child's safety. Last week, my car abruptly slowed in 65mph traffic on route 295 in nj; i was almost hit by a car behind me due to this malfunction. Vw refuses to address this;i hope the nhtsa will take action and address these concerns before someone loses their life to this transmission malfunctioning.

What is Failure?
