| Description of the problem | Driving 60 mph during rush hour traffic on highway when suddenly engine reved prnd lights started blinking and car had no power. I managed to get to shoulder and the car would drive 20 mph on shoulder. Faster the engine reved. Vw says recall on 2009 eos does not include my vin number. I could have been killed if the people behind me didn't manage to avoid hitting me. Vw will not assist me because my power train warranty ran out at 100k miles. My car has 103k. I am concerned that more cars were involved in the recall. Flash of death article by abc news is exactly what happened to me on nov 6 2015. Vw says my car is not affected. I disagree. |
