| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At approx. 74,300 mi. our 2001 vw passat gls v6 automatic had an abs failure. we purchased the vehicle new from a vw dealer in 2001 and have it serviced by vw dealers. other vw owners i have spoken to (some while in the service area of the dealership!) have also had abs failure. the abs unit is back-ordered and wait listed because so many have failed and been requested. i am on my 4th week of waiting for the part, after having to pay for it in full up front. this is a very expensive part: rebuild kit is $650 while the unit itself is approx. $1,100. i believe this part suffer chronic failure among vw's and audi's. i also believe the ignition coils should be recalled as mine are failing and so many others are failing.*jb |
