Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Audi A6

I have a 1999 Audi A6 quattro -- abs unit light flashes, diagnosed as a defective control unit. This appears to be a very common problem with Audi and vw and a serious safety issue.

Abs/brake light started flashing infrequently and I called maplewood Audi service and they proceeding to tell me it was a brake light switch, through further investigation I found that this is a very common problem with their abs control module and it is a "factory only" fix because of reprogramming and such and it would run about $2000. I belong to a couple of Audi forums and this is one of the most common problems. I don't see how this proprietary system is allowed to continue without accountability by the manufacturer and or dealerships. Unlike their other poor practices for monopolizing service to these cars this one affects braking and thus safety.

The contact owns a 1999 Audi A6. The contact stated that the abs module has been replaced numerous times. The instrument panel indicates that the abs is not functioning properly. She stated that the axle on the driver side was replaced six times in three months. The dealer stated that the axle is too short. The contact stated that the parts have become very costly. The VIN, engine size, number of cylinders, and speed were unknown. The failure and current mileages were 58,000.

The abs light goes on and off. It stays on most of the time. Also, had suspension problems. The lower control arm was recalled ,and the upper control arm was having same problem. The control arms wore out prematurely. When upper control arms failed vehicle had 70000 miles on it. Vehicle lost control due to the upper control arm failure, and it was a safety concern.
