| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 volkswagen passat gls 1.8t, and i have had the abs control module fail. i was driving the car and my abs and brake lights turned on and started to blink. this would happen everytime i would start my car. i had diagnostics run on the car, and found that the control module could not communicate with the cars ecu. i had my local volkswagen dealer replace the abs module. this cost me $850 for the control module, $360 for labor, then tax. i had to pay $1270 for everything to be fixed. i find that this is a common problem with volkswagen passats, and i do not think that the owners should pay for something like this if it is a recurring problem. |
