| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 1998 vw passat has 85,000 miles on it and a problem with the abs control unit. the abs light stays on steadily and the brake light flashes with an audible four-chime tone. the vw dealer tested and confirmed that i need a new abs pump/control. the cost of parts and labor is $2,100. since purchasing this vehicle, i have had many problems with it from replacing the turbo charger to a complete replacement of the front-end suspension to name a few. vw of america declined to help with this problem because of the mileage. i used to own a toyota with 250,000 miles on it when i sold it and never had problems with it like i have with this car.*ak |
