Volkswagen Eos push button start malfunction requiring multiple presses to operate, possible manufacturing defect on Volkswagen Eos

Some Volkswagen Eos owners report experiencing issues with the push-button start, requiring multiple presses to operate properly. These problems may stem from various factors, including a potential manufacturing defect. A common cause for the push-to-start malfunction is a dead battery, which can hinder the car from starting and affect the push-button's functionality. Additionally, some owners find that if the push start switch sends a very low voltage and current signal to an electronic module, it may not provide enough power to maintain clean switch contacts, leading to further operational issues. It is advisable for owners experiencing these problems to check the battery voltage, clean the contacts, and ensure proper electrical connections. If the issues persist, consulting a qualified mechanic or Volkswagen dealership for further diagnosis is recommended.
