Power Steering Pump Problems of Volkswagen GTI

Would like to know why we were never informed of the 3 recalls on our 2015 vw Gti. Started investigating after our 2015 vw passat has the bad airbags in them. Also own the Gti and we investigated to see if the bad airbags are in there too. That is when we found problems with the fuel pump which was recalled in June 2015, we were never notified, also a fuel leak of an ignition source. . . Never notified and a loose stabilizer link in the steering. Who wants to drive this car. Why were we not notified of these three recalls. We never moved, I want an answer as this car is always in use. We were really upset with the passat that we got rid of it and thank god we had gotten rid of our other new passat last year only to buy another lemon and unsafe vehicle from vw. . . . . . This being the Gti. Please get back to us. If anything happens life threatening, you will be held responsible. You are ignoring your customers who at one time loved their vehicles. . . . Now they are afraid to drive them. . . . But still must pay for them. Maybe we need a car replacement from vw for this Gti for not letting us know. Not even sure if this Gti has the bad airbags as your 800 number keeps me on the line on hold for over an hour I just think you don't want to answer.

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.
