Ignition Module Problems of Volkswagen GTI

Abs brakes and stability control failure, every time the abs or stability control is activated the systems immediately fail and dash lights all turn on with three loud chimes. Other times the failure happens during normal driving. Power cycling the vehicle resets everything but the failure will soon occur again. This is a well known problem with 2009 models and in my opinion is dangerous -- abs & stability control system are critical to safety during emergency braking. Some time ago I had to use the brakes to avoid an accident, my wheels all locked up and my vehicle began to skid sideways -- not what one would expect on a vehicle that comes with abs brakes. I just now learned I can file a complaint. This issue has been ongoing for over approximately 18 months. I regularly turn the ignition off/on while driving to power cycle and reset the abs module when it error fails - though I don't expect it to work when needed.

Ignition coil failed on my 2001 vw Gti vr6. This failure also trigged oxygen sensor, coolant sensor, maf sensor and ecu to fail. As mentioned above engine misfires, a flashing check engine light, reduced power and bucking are all symptoms of a failed ignition coil.

I bought a new 2002 Volkswagen golf Gti 1. 8t on June 22, 2002. On January 29, 2003 I had to have it towed to the dealership where I had purchased it for the #2 ignition coil failure. At that time, the car only had 10,600 miles on it. Now, as I drive down route 93 from nh to mass each day for work, I brace myself for the time that the next coil fails. Each time this happens, there is a considerable loss in power, to the point that the car can stall. The car begins to "buck" and stagger, and at highway speeds, this becomes very dangerous. As Volkswagen is well aware, this is an epidemic problem with the 1. 8t engines in all of their cars. They refuse to replace all 4 coils at once. Therefore, it's just a matter of time that this happens again to my car, as well as hundreds of thousands of buyers that have either experienced this problem already or will be. There needs to be a recall on these parts, or at the very least, an investigation on the ignition coils and the loss of safety associated with the comparable loss of power. Hopefully, this can be done before someone gets injured or killed.
