Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1998 vw passat that has had it abs system go out. from what i understand this is a common occurrence with this car. the only problem is when the abs module goes on the car it has a hard time modulating the brakes correctly causing a dangerous situation. i will have to either buy a new unit or send it out and have it repaired. *jb
