All of my lights on the right side of my dashboard is on. . The traction light, brake light,steering wheel light and the speedometer is acting iradical. . I put new speed sensors on it and it still haven't fixed the problem. . Alot of mechanics say it's and electrical problem. . I bought the car from flow Mazda dealership a couple years ago it's been sitting since then.
Abs and brake lights are on, car shifts into neutral on it's own. Feels unsafe to drive, because of the neutral shift there is no power. I have had to pull over to the side of the road and restart the car.
The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Eos. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to respond. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to ourisman Volkswagen of bethesda located 7001 arlington road, bethesda, MD where it was diagnosed that the megatronic unit was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, failure recurred. Two weeks after the failure wellesly Volkswagen located at 231 linden st, wellesley, MA where it was diagnosed that the transmission was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. The VIN was not provided.
When the transmission gets hot, the temperature sensor overheats and automatically puts the car in neutral when you try and change gears (from drive to reverse). The dashboard lights start flashing the transmission lights. The car must be turned off and restarted in hope it will work again. There was a recall for this and apparently it was completed in 2009. Vw told us they will not fix it again.
Car experiences sudden loss of acceleration, nearly causing accident from cars behind. This has happened sporadically in motion on city streets and the car has been back to the dealer (vw world nptune NJ) several times. First time they could not replicate problem and nothing was done, second time they replaced several components at cost of $2,000 but that did not fix problem and now it back at dealer and they are asking another $1300 for repairs.
I was already parking in my space in front of my house when suddenly instead of stop the car run off passing the concrete barrier and going toward the house . I couldn't stop it, I just drove across the lawn, avoiding to crash first against the brick wall turned right then I went against a ficus tree and the car keep going toward a palm tree so I turned again right but finally was out of control and crash against my neighbor car that was parked. The good think was nobody was there, so there were not injures.
On initial acceleration, car hesitates and does not smoothly accelerate. This occurs whether the engine is cold or warm and occurs under light to moderate acceleration. Hesitation is accompanied by "stuttering sensation" and on occasion there is an actual delay from time of pressing the accelerator to actual launch of up to 3 seconds.
