| I don't think a $38,000 car that is only 3 years old should leak rain in it all the time and the convertible top not work properly - it has been in the shop 5 times in the last 2 months and is currently in the shop fixing a problem that was suppose to be fixed last friday. volkswagen dealership service department mechanic even told me that 98% of eos leak rain inside them and the convertible tops don't work. datemilesproblem 3/19/08328wiper blades split apart (car was brand new) 6/17/0911400leaks rain inside car on drivers side - replaced header seal and mounting bracket 6/17/0911400drivers side sunvisor cracked 6/23/0911540replaced drivers side sunvisor 9/4/1023056recall - mechantronic unit 9/4/1023056convertible top not operating properly - flap tension string needed new clips 9/4/1023056side window grinding and hesitating when going up and down - defective window regulator 9/4/1023056vehicle having trouble starting - ignition/starter switch electrical fault in circuit 9/13/1023355convertible top not operating properly - installed headliner tensioning string clips 9/13/1023355front door handle loose 9/8/1134761water leaking from convertible top (rain inside car)- sunroof drain hose repair 9/8/1134761passenger side door trim is peeling off car 9/17/1135231water leaking from door (rain inside car)- replaced the seals (in a loaner for 4 days) 10/20/1137230replaced defective crank breather 10/27/1137398convertible top not operating properly - gets stuck when opening - cable guide broke off 10/27/1137398service now light on after it was just serviced 11/1/1137450back in shop for convertible top not working properly key is broken, i keep this car in the garage and get regular maintance work done. | |||

| I purchased a 2008 volkswagen eos on 10/1/2007. about 1 month later i began hearing rattling in the convertible top when it was up. today is 3/16/2008 and my vehicles has only 2900 miles. i've been unable to drive it due to the rattling noise. it has been brought into vw repair shop 8 times each time they thought it was fixed but when i took it the rattling always came back within a day or 2. i finally had it. they agreed. they voluntarily gave me a phone number to call to start arbitration and told me they would either buy back my vehicle or give me a new eos. *tr | |||

| The trunk on my eos will automatically shut once the latch is released to open. it will raise and then lower before i have time to get back to lift it up. i have taken it in 4 times to the dealership where the first two times they raised the sensors, the third time they replaced the sensors, and the fourth time they replaced the complete hydraulic system. the trunk still has the problem. *tr | |||
