3 Brake Abs Warning Light problem of the 2014 Volkswagen GTI

Failure Date: 01/08/2018

As I was driving down the highway in normal driving conditions the abs light, electronic stability control light, steering wheel fault warning light and the check engine light lit up without any warning prompting a fault description on my center dash saying "fault: abs/electronic stabilization control". From my research this fault was also found in the 2009 (mk5) Gti which shares the same engine, electrical components and drivetrain as the 2010-2014 (mk6). On the different Volkswagen forums within the community it is still an apparent fault with the car with hundreds of inquiries about how to repair and fix this problem on our own.

5 Brake Abs Warning Light problem of the 2009 Volkswagen GTI

Failure Date: 06/01/2015

Abs warning light started coming on. Then a warning light that the right, rear turn signal had failed. One week later the entire dashboard is covered in warning lights, including a "faulty engine workshop" warning light. It appears that abs control module has failed, leaving me with no abs braking on a well maintained, 50k mile car. This seems to be rampant problem with the tsi mkv Gti at this mileage. Vw of America offered me no assistance. Vw should recall this part before they see any accidents lead to serious injuries.
