Power Steering Pump problems of the 2009 Volkswagen GTI

I was traveling east in the right lane on interstate 44 at approximately 0645 in the am. It was normal heavy morning work traffic going into oklahoma city, traveling the posted speed of 70 mph. I was following a full size pickup truck and moderte traffic was passing me on my left. Without notice, traffic suddendly slowed to approximatelty 40 mph, causing me to hit my brakes hard. The abs system engaged and my car was thrown sideways off the road at approximately 70 mph. I pulled the car back left, causing vehicles in the left lane to swerve to miss hitting me. The abs and brake light illuminated on my car, indicating a failure however, a dummy could figure out the brakes were not working. There is no doubt in my mind, had my car been thown left when I hit the brakes I would have been smeared by on coming traffic, likely a fatality. I immediately took my car to Volkswagen and was told I needed a pump/abs module; a 2500 repair. Understand when I shut the car off and turned it back on, the abs/brake fault lights clear. I had no indication my abs system was malfunctiong unti li needed brakes. And bam!. After reading forums, its apparent this is an on going problem with 2009 Gtis and it should be an immediate safety concern of Volkswagen. Someone is going to get killed. I've asked for my old parts so I will have them when there are court proceedings against Volkswagen for the injury or death of someone as a result of a failed abs system. This really does need investigating. Thank you.
