| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In november of 2005 my vw passat began to intermittently have the abs warning light come on. my local dealer said it would be $2000 to replace the abs control module and that the part was not even available. after a simple search under "vw abs control module failure" it is clear that many hundreds of people have had exactly the same problem. this is clearly a defective part. it goes to the safety of the vehicle as warning lights indicate "brake failure" and stop immediately. from the many threads, and my experience, it is clear that vw is aware of this defect but does nothing. why are they not forced to replace this defective part that effects the safety of my car? *jb |
