Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I experienced failure of abs in a 2000 audi a4 avant quattro. this is the well-known and widely reported problem with the bosch 5.3 abs control module unit. the unit spontaneously failed without any reason, at about 80k miles. the consequences are the abs does not work and the part to replace it is about $1500. i have yet to replace or repair it at this point, hoping vw/audi will do something about it (a recall would be nice). *jb
