Power Steering Light On problems of the 2009 Volkswagen GTI

My car was affected by the 2017 recall for the abs module. I was driving around a corner and hit brakes to slow a little, the abs/traction control/steering light(s) came on and my brakes locked momentarily cause me to slide. I called local dealer to have the recall performed. The dealer stated(and vw America) that because they were unable to pull codes from the module I would need to pay to replace it myself and then they could perform the recall. This is complete and utter stupidity. The module was recalled due to failures. They should cover the complete cost to replace and recode. I was quoted 2100. 00 my car only has 88,000 miles and well taken care of.

While taking the kids to school, my traction control light and steering assist light came on followed by the check engine light and a loss of drive. After taking the vehicle to an official vw dealership they spent 2 days diagnosing the 6 pages of faults that came up and informed me that the abs module has failed and will require replacement.

About two weeks ago while driving straight on a city street in dry conditionat a steady speed the esc light on my dash came on and would not go out until I had parked the car for some time and restarted it. The light then came back on again after about 5 minutes of driving, this time it was accompanied by the electric power steering warning light which began to flash orange, then was solid orange and then flashed between orange and red. When the electric steering light is orange the steering assistance is reduced when straightening after cornering, however when it is red there is no power assistance and this condition can happen at any speed and at anytime without warning. Now yesterday(7/14/2019) when driving at 40mph in a straight line in the dry, the engine fail! workshop now!, esp,epc, electro steering, cel and abs warning lights came on accompanied by a chime and the speedo went from 40 to 0 and back up again while in motion. Quite disconcerting to have all that happen at once. After all the lights went out the vehicle seemed to be ok until I attempted to pull out of a gas station at which time with the vehicle in drive I pressed the accelerator and the revs went up but the vehicle did not move until the third attempt. I have read on line that this maybe a result of an abs module failure but my VIN doesn't pull up any recalls and my vehicle is out of warranty. Not only does this sound like it will be an expensive repair, it is also a hugh safety issue! unfortunately I don't have any pictures as it is completely random and not safe to try and take pictured while driving.

Vw 2009 Gti 80k miles. Solid abs, solid power steering light, solid check engine light, solid traction control, and flashing "brake" lights illuminate on the dashboard occasionally upon turning on the vehicle, accompanied by 3 audible beeps. Then, the abs, traction control, brake, epc, steering, and check engine lights began to come on while driving. Abs and traction control stay illuminated, while the epc, steering, check engine, and brake lights come on intermittently, accompanied by 3 audible beeps. The message "engine fault - workshop!" also shows up on the message display center in the dash. Steering feels a bit stiff. Speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge affected. Dealer has indicated an internal fault in the abs control module requiring complete replacement. Vw corporate offices unwilling to provide extended warranty on these common failures. Expensive fix and very dangerous to drive.

2009 vw Gti. Abs, traction control, brake, epc, cel and steering wheel light come on. 3 beeps sound. Speedometer doesn't work. After searching, this appears to be a common issue with the abs control module. Power steering seems to turn off and on unexpectedly and is quite dangerous while driving. Abs won't work and traction control turns off and on unexpectedly.

Instrument panel displays check engine light, steering light, abs light, traction control light, brake light, tire pressure light. Abs no longer works in a hard brake situation, wheels lock and car will skid. Engine also refuses to rev past around 3900 rpm unless manually upshift to a higher gear. Steering assist no longer works.
