Vehicle was included in the abs recall in 2017. Dealer didn't replace the module at the time, stating that the software was updated, which would detect the failure before it actually happened. Customer was told that if the abs light came up, just returned for the replacement of the module for free because it was under warranty. When the said light came up after a few thousand miles, customer returned to the dealer. Dealer indicated that it was covered under the warranty and ordered the module for replacement. Customer was advised that it was safe to drive locally while waiting for a month for an appointment. Customer was informed that it was free multiple times until after the long wait for an appointment and hours of waiting during the actual service, when �nothing has been done� because it was not free. Dealer explained that the error code in the vehicle was different from the ones on a piece of paper that they had for the recall replacement. Customer asked what the codes meant and what was the problem with the vehicle; dealer didn't know. However, dealer advised customer to have the module replaced at customer's cost.

Abs lights up on dash as I am driving along the road, causing concern that the car will brake automatically.
I had made an appointment with Volkswagen dealership to have my car looked at because of the recall. My abs light came on and has been on for weeks. It hasn't turned off. When I took my car in they tried to perform a software update but weren't able to because apparently the module went out before the recall. I haven't had any problems with this until just a few weeks ago so I don't understand how that is possible. Now they are saying its technically my fault and now im stuck paying 1200 on an abs module and maintenance. My abs light came on went I went around a corner and slammed on my breaks, ever since then it wont turn off.

When driving on a windey road the abs light came on and the car was breaking funny. I checked online to see if there was any recalls on my vehicle and found that the abs module software needed to be updated. The recall also stated that the abs module may need to be replaced due to this problem. I took it in and had the update installed, so now that I have it back, it is worse than ever. They said that I would need to replace the abs module for $1,6665 in order to get my car working right again. "wasn't it included" I asked. They said it was a separate problem and the error code was not in the perimeters. I'm not the only one with this problem do to Volkswagen's screw up with the software. I've checked around and there are many others that are having the same problems. Just the other day the epc light came on and the speedometer stopped working because apparently the abs module on this vehicle also tracks your speed. I'm not the only one and this is a blatant fault towards Volkswagen and their shady practice.
Abs recall - I just received my recall for the Jetta stating the above problem and remedy. But I don't the one paragraph in my letter above stating "please be aware that other conditions (unrelated to the issue described in this letter) may cause the abs system warning light in your vehicle to illuminate. Customers should be prepared to cover diagnostics and repair costs associated with these other, unrelated conditions". . . . Really! are you fkm! I'm supposed to trust them when they tell me. . . . "were sorry sir, but your problem is not related to the recall and the repair will cost you $650. 00, thank you" haha, Volkswagen is just trying to recoup the money they lost to the tdi scam. Never seen such a mischievous recall in my life! I have been having this problem for years now, rain or snow. If I turn the car off and back on it seams ok.
While driving the vehicle, I had to stop quickly due to possible impact with a car which ran a red light. My abs kicked in to prevent wheel lock up and suddenly esp/abs lights came on along with 3 loud beeps and my wheels locked up. Abs/esp lights stayed on and my traction control, stability control and abs did not function anymore. Conventional braking was still working normal and car was drive-able. Upon performing a abs/esp scan for faults, it indicated a internal failure of the abs control module. Turning the car on and off resets the lights and abs function is restored, but if you attempt to do another panic stop- all the lights come on and anti-lock brakes do not function- brakes lock up.
Abs warning light solid yellow, break light flashing red and beeping, esp/asr light solid yellow (inactive. ) vw dealership replaced abs module and pump total bill $ 3109. 44.
My vw Jetta tdi had many problems since I purchased it. First, we had problems with the injection system imploding. They asked if we ever put in gasoline instead of diesel. I told them absolutely not. They wanted to charge me $6500 because car was out of warranty but service manager got vw to pay for it because I said I was going to get an attorney. On June 27, 2014 we had with an electrical problem where the battery was draining from a short in the radio modulator. The car had 101,348 miles. They fixed the problem which took 9 days to fix and cost $1238. 56. I noticed the radio would stayed on with the key out of the car after that though. Then we had the check engine, air bag, abs and traction lights on at 109,452. I took it to my service station on 11/28/2014, but he said the dealer had to program update the software and check the abs module for electrical problem. The dealer said it was the O2 sensor on number 2 cylinder. They found no problems with the air bag, abs module or traction control. They charged me $600. The lights were all off. On January 3, my 17 year old daughter and her girlfriend went to the movies last night with the car. It was lightly raining out. She left the movie theatre around 8:20 pm. She came up to an intersection that was turning red. She applied the brakes and skidded through the intersection hitting another vehicle that was crossing. She was doing about 40 mph. She said the car did not want to stop. She said there where lights on the dashboard when she was driving. People in the other car went to hospital.
My vehicle was stuck in a snow drift at the end of my road. I deactivated my electronic skid protection to get my vehicle free from the snow drift. I successfully made it onto the road and only going 20mpn due to icy roads and bad weather conditions. 1 to 2 miles down from where I was stuck, my abs and esp light came on and I almost lost control but because I was going so slow, I was a ble to keep it on the road. I pulled into the closest gas station to investigate and my rear brakes were locked up and would not come loose. I thought they may ahve been frozen so I cleaned what snow was on there and actuated the brakes several times, moving my vehicle back and forth to break them loose. This did not work so I drove it about 4 miles to the closest vw dealership, which was very difficult due to the icy roads and my rear wheels locked up. The vw technician told me that because my rear wheels were stuck in that snow drift and my front tires were trying to get me unstuck, a code popped up which activated my rear brakes. He cleared the code and my car works perfectly fine. If this "code" had tripped 10 minutes later, I would have been on the highway traveling at higher speeds on very bad road conditions and would have cause an accident. I do not know if the dealership was truthful as to what they found, if it was truly a code or if they were just frozen shut which created the code. I just wanted to create a complaint to log this issue in case this happens again, I have proof of the issue and complaint.
My abs light came on when I was in cruise control at 60 mph and knocked me out of cruise control. Another time I was getting ready to stop for a stop sign and the brake pedal started to vibrate and I almost couldn't stop and the abs light went on.
I am an aerospace engineering consultant. My 09 Jetta had rear passenger caliber, rotor, and brake line replace at 10,000 miles for excessive wear. 1st noticed when going around corners applying brakes a dragging effect would come from rear passenger brake. Dealer could not give any reason for this happening and replace rotor, caliper, and brake line at 10k. Summer time weather. Car exhibited the smell of hot brakes and rubber several times between the next failure. The next failure occurred at 34000 mile. Driver side rotor was so pitted and warped from excessive heat dealer replace rotor and caliper and gave no reason problem. Summer time weather. At 37080 mile on Feb 10 2011 at 4:30 am with outside temperature around 20f degrees I released parking brake and started driving to job site. The car felt like it was straining to accelerate. Within two miles from the house the car pulled violently to left , the abs light came on and the car stopped into oncoming traffic and would not move. I shut the esp system off car still work not move forward. I drove in reverse back to house about 1. 5 miles. When I looked at rear brake rotor on driver side since it was still dark the rotor was glowing red like the burner on electric stove. Smell of burning materials was in the air. Called dealer which is ancria of san antonio, TX. Dan minor the service manager thinks it was the emergency brake cable spring not releasing brake. Car was dropped of Friday Feb 11th 2011 at dealer. A case has been open with vw engineering. Vw dealer is clueless as to why this is happening. I suspect the good german engineers are too proud to say we have a problem fix what seems to be a well documented problem with 09 Jettas. Someone is going to get hurt and no one is listening. Thankfully the dealer has been replacing things to date.
