VW/ EOS Extended Warrantee ?

• VW/ EOS Extended Warrantee ?

  Written by: claymore1 on Jan 23, 2012 8:47:53 AM

  I have a 2009 EOS with about 35000 miles. I plan to keep the car at least another 5 years. Any suggestions regarding Extended warrantee coverage? I have to make sure the convertible top mechanism is covered as well as electrical. For those of you keeping your EOS for a while, which warrantee (if any) are you using for extended coverage? I do have a good relationship with my dealer here ... Read More

• To Buy or Not, 2011 or 2012 EOS Executive ?

  Written by: 3riptide on Aug 30, 2011 1:31:42 PM

  Whilst picking up my son from local VW service dept. I wandered into showroom and liked the EOS. Came home and proceeded to research a little. Whoa! what I have read so far is shocking. Though these appear to be older models, from what I gather 2009-2011 is same engine/transmission type with same ongoing problems. The leaks, the seals, the oil, the water, odor, rattles etc. I would very much like ... Read More

  FYI: VW replacing a car isn't due to a customer being "unhappy". In the view of Lemon Law, customer must allow the dealer to correct the problem(s), a few attempts if necessary, but there is a limit to this madness. So document all in details & dates, research how many days in total of out of use of cars, etc. My 2009 is not noisy, that is a lame excuse but ... Read More

  Hi, I have a 2009 Eos that I have had for 22 months. The day I went to pick up the car, there was a recall issued on it and I waited 2 weeks for delivery because they couldn't get the part. I took possession on 10/3 and had the car in the shop on 10/22 bc the windows would go up and down all by themselves - they replaced the ... Read More

  I agree with the other very detailed reply. Just want to add the possibility of water damage causing electrical malfunction or rust. I too had a 2008 Eos, the water damage was so bad with mildew problem, eventually VW also took it back and gave me a 2009 Eos as well. However, I was away for 72 hrs, and NJ had 7" rain, so I came home with my trunk wet, ... Read More

  Skip the Corp red tape. Go directly to BBB (success with VW & T-mobile disputes). Document every repair including how many days you are without your car. I live in NJ, read TX BBB rules on claim, may be different. Your time limit may be an issue. My 2008 Turbo Eos was purchased end of March 2008, by June, leak caused oder even after repair & carpet replacement. By filing my ... Read More

It had just had oil change so I was told to start my oil change cycles and routine care at 15K and every 10 K after. All care has been done at certified VW dealerships.
