I bought my EOS in December, 2006. Since then I have had it in the shop at least twice a month. Sure, they gave me a loaner once, but it was not a convertible so I lost out on prime time to drive my convertible.
Here are my problems, hopefully I am not the only one with these problems and maybe you can help me tell my dealer what to do with them.
My top would not go down - the service dept told me that sometimes I would have to "jiggle" a part on the inside of the hood.
My light comes on in the dash showing the tire pressure is low- the service dept. says that it comes on for the least change in air pressure, ignore it.
My signal comes on showing error in airbag- service dept says that they had to repair loose connectors.
The air inside the car does not recirculate- the service dept says that it does.
The silver top on the back which the retractable top sits on is scratched - the service dept says that is where the top sits, there is nothing to be done.
The top sides of the car had to be repainted because they were scrapping the sides as the top went down - they repaired it but gave me a small bottle of matching paint to use if it happens again.
The back window goes up and then comes back down when I press the button to close all of the windows- I have taken it in over and over, they say it is fixed but it still happens.
And of course the leaks are still coming inside when it rains.
My last three cars have been convertibles and I have never had these problems! Makes me want to go back to my Chrysler Sebring!
Still - I love the way the EOS looks and drive, I just didn't expect all of these problems. Might the dealer offer me a cut on my car notes?

I have had my '08 since 7-23-07 & not a single drop, leak, or any thing....maybe I am just lucky or VW has taken corrective action. I do not know but when I go in for my 5K service I am going to ask about a conditioning on all roof seals. Overall the car is terrific, great engine, DSG is a real winner, & I love the way the top works!!! So does everyone watching. Now I just have to be sure that there are no leaks in the future!!

I just bought 2008 turbo last week and brought it straight to a car wash, not one leak.
 
Can anyone give me the part number for the sealant. It seems
the VW dealer can't seem to find it.

Hi, Medha,
 
Since this topic is for discussing roof leaks, it's a slim chance that you'll get an answer to your question. Although nobody's posted in the Prices Paid discussion recently, people who follow that topic will see your question if you post it there.

TB's on 2007 Eos by aliceb

Where can I see the TB's or TT's on the 2007 Eos? I haven't experienced leaks, but it has always been garaged and only hand-washed. I also haven't noticed a creaking, although the radio is always blasting when I have my top down!
 
I just want to keep up-to-date on it's possible issues.
 
Thanks.

Hello, I'm new to this forum....considering buying an EOS . . . but maybe not after reading about these leaks.....I was curious though about what you said ....what exactly is it that happens "again and again and again" on forums? Please let me know.
 
I would LIKE to buy a convertible...and the nicest one out there seems to be the EOS....yet I do NOT LIKE VW ! I have owned a VW Jetta & a VW Cabrio Convertible and I do NOT LIKE HOW VW treats its customers.
 
However, there aren't any nicer convertibles out there ! (I just don't fancy a seabring, a mustang , a solara, a spyder)

Well, as I stated previously, what happens again and again is that a problem that affects a small number of vehicles appears to be a much larger problem. This is typically caused by the vocal few who have a problem being much louder than the thousands of happy owners who have no need to seek out a message board. I mean, look at it this way, how often do you go around posting how reliable your toaster has been? On the other hand, if that toaster caused your house to burn down, I'm sure you'd lay that story on anyone who would listen, right? So it is just something to keep in mind, that's all. Regardless of the vehicle you research, you'd find plenty of problems posted on the internet.

EOS ......What I am frustrated with is that I want to pick a FANTASTIC convertible to purchase...and the EOS seems to be amazing . . . . convertible AND sunroof AND dual comfort zones & navigation ! Wow ! But.....I am worried now after reading everything...and what I wonder is ......how many Eos owners are having A HAPPY TIME ? Because of what you said about TOASTERS ...there could be 99.8% of Eos owners REALLY REALLY satisfied ! The happy customers might not come on this forum . .... so now I am worried (as someone else wrote) that I am getting more stressed than necessary . For example, I own a VW Cabrio at the moment and it DOES NOT LEAK. Yet, if you look up Cabrio on this forum, there ARE CABRIOS that leak ! I want to buy an EOS, they look GREAT ...but I'm nervous about it . . ... the Ford Mustang convertible, Seabring Convertible, Camry Convertible just are not as COOL looking as the EOS !
