Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The abs and brake light on my volkswagen passat (2000 v6) started blinking as i was driving. the abs no longer works in my car and the manual states that it should not be driven as the brake proportioning aren't correct when the abs is out and that the rear wheels can lock under heavy braking. after doing the diagnostic test i find out the that bosch abs module has stopped working (8eo 614 111 ah). the vw dealer wants $1700 to fix the problem. from internet research i have found the problem is quite common and because it is safety related i belive there should be a recall. 8jb
