Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Volkswagen Beetle

Started the car and had worming lights on. It did it before a couple days ago but went out. This time the lights won't go off and won't go over 20 mph. The abs light,stability light and air bag lights and tire pressure light are on. I had it towed to the dealership. I was just reading of someone with the same problem but no recall.

I bought my 2001 vw Beetle and I started having problems the day I brought it home. Within 45 min my epc light came on, my abs light came on and my check engine light came on. The car stalled. I lost power steering, breaks, and car would not idle. Called the dealer and they said it sounded like the throttle body had went out. They replaced it with no charge, because I threatened to return the car under the lemon law, ever since I have had nothing but problems. Starting in Nov. Of 2010 I had a lot of miss fire. Took it to the vw dealer they said that the coils were recalled and they replaced them for free. Since then my coils and spark plugs have been replaced four times due to faulty manufacturing. About two weeks (July 2011) I went out and started my car, once again my epc light, my abs light and check engine light came on. Once again I lost my power steering, brakes, car wouldn?t idle. Took it to the dealer they said it was the mass airflow sensor. Changed it car ran fine for one day. The next day the lights came on again. Took it back to the dealer they said it?s the coils and sparks plugs. Had them changed less than a month ago (June 2001) when I had the timing belt changed. Took it back again now they are saying it?s the throttle body again. Last time I checked a throttle body should last more than 2 ½ year. I was looking for a used throttle body and was at a parts store the guy said that there has been a huge issue with the wiring harness and it cost about $2000 hoping this is not my problem?. Within the last two years I have sunk 3500 in to this crap car.

I have a 99 vw Beetle, 2. 0 l 4 cylinder 5 spd manual gti. I have had continual abs light problems since 10000 miles. The left rear speed sensor has been replaced 5 times. The vw dealer in hi at 16 k says it the control module after replacing the sensor and wire harness. Now at 28000 miles the abs light is on and the brake light flashes and alarms. I seems this is a class engineering problem that requires a recall to fix.

As you drive the abs light displays on the dash and the brake pedal becomes very soft and long. It compromised braking distance. This has happen 3 times in the last 6 months. The first time after only 19 044 miles. We talked with Volkswagen and they shared .
