2016 Volkswagen Eos — reported problems

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (850 records, model years 2007–2016) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and engine.
• Manufacturer communications (8,900 records, model years 2007–2016) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
