| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2000 volkswagen passat glx 4-motion had a anti-lock brake system (abs) module failure at 51,000 miles disabling the abs feature on my car. it also causes distracting abs failure wearing lights and noises at unpredictable times causing distraction while driving. on the console display it also tells you to stop immediately. pacific volkswagen says it is a $750.00 part they have to order to fix plus labor. after doing some searching on various message boards i discovered it is a very common problem at any mileage. many drivers have not elected to have this module replaced due to cost and are not driving with the safety features the car was manufactured with. i am awaiting the part ordered to complete the repair on my vehicle as i value my abs system. this sounds like a defect that volkswagen will not recognize or recall and compromises safety. *nm |
