The car disables the abs while driving, and the abs, brake and electronic stability control indicators are lit simultaneously, while the car dings. Quite distracting. A little research shows complaints for the same behavior since just oct. 30, 2019: NHTSA id number: 11277060 NHTSA id number: 11288718 NHTSA id number: 11283008 NHTSA id number: 11279604 there is a recall which was considered closed for my vehicle for this issue: 16v913000 dealership has also quoted about $1500 to replace the abs module, because the current module cannot be updated. Seems like there are lots of bad modules that cannot be updated. This is a hazard condition; especially here in michigan.

I was driving at approximately 45 mph when a deer came into the road from the right side. I seen the deer and should have had plenty of time to miss it and come to a stop. I removed the car from 5th gear while using both the clutch and brake pads. Once I applied significant pressure to the brakes the completely locked up, as did the steering wheel. My car collided with the deer and subsequently traveled off the right side of the road in a spin, stopping approximately 40 feet down an embankment. Since then I have had no luck keeping the vehicle running. I have had the alternator, plugs and coil packs, starter, and ignition changed with no remedy. The vehicle will not start.

The abs module faulting is a known and common problem for these vehicles. Vw has a recall for the abs software-recall #16v913. If your module doesn't crash when the dealer performs the update, which it likely won't, then they do not replace the module. We feel this is a workaround to cover them to not have to replace them. Ours went out this month while I was driving. This was extremely dangerous as I lost steering control and the vehicle kept downshifting below 30 mph on a highway that I should have been traveling 60 mph on. The epc and abs lights came on. When we called the dealer, they agreed to look at it to see if it was the abs module and if it would be eligible for replacement under the recall. It was not covered because they were "unable to perform the software update". This is because of the specific wording on the vw recall. I have read that several other customers have been turned away because of the same thing and left with expensive repairs. They should issue a recall to cover the faulty abs modules all together and not exclude them due to the "software update. " the recall is a play on words to cover them from not being required to replace them. It is strategic and misleading. We called vw and was told it would not be covered also. Here is a web link of other people logging the same experiences. There are others online. People can get killed driving these when they go out. Now we have to pay to a lot of money to get ours replaced by the dealer. Https://urldefense. Proofpoint. . Read more...

I have been told my car is not eligible for the abs module replacement claim but there is a problem with it as I drive the car. The brake light, traction control light and abs light are all on and flashing with a beep that is consistent once the key is in the ignition and it's a very distracting sound that I wish I could fix myself but even the part costs $600+ and to go to the dealer and get it fixed for $1800. I am a college student who doesn't have the funds to fix this issue and I have not been given a reason why my vehicle is not eligible for the fix.

Abs module recall for 2009 Volkswagen models affected needs to be revised, for there are lots of cars that suffer from abs modules failing while they are driving. Some cars which are illegible are left unfixed by Volkswagen because they do not fit the specific details of the recall. The company shipped cars out with faulty abs modules and refuse to fix it and those cars are hazardous on the road. My vehicle, for example, has abs module working intermittently while it should be staying on. During a diagnosis the ecu senses no communication between it and the abs module, which is a hazard knowing my abs will not always function when I need it to stop quicker in response to the many obstacles on the road. The faulty abs sensor messed with my steering and gauges. The gauges do not present real time calculations and the steering assist has completely shut down due to abs being unresponsive.

Abs vw Jetta recall. My 2009 vw is currently under a safety recall for abs system failures. The abs system on my car has in fact failed, yet the dealer is refusing to complete the recall because the system is in failure and they claim that the software cannot be updated to see if the system is failing. The dealer instructed me to replace the abs system in my car (at my own cost) so they can complete the software check. The estimate for the repair was $2900. I refused as the part in question is under recall. They claim the recall does not cover my failed abs system. I believe Volkswagen is abdicating their safety responsibilities for a known problem and failed part in their cars. In a cursory review online there are hundreds of similar complaints to be found online. I hope that the ntsb is reviewing similar complaints and will compel vw to make the mechanical repairs to the abs systems necessary, not just check the software.

Abs module recall I have an incomplete recall that Volkswagen is not trying to fix. They are saying that they are not getting a connection to be able to read the recall and that I would have to buy the new abs module so that they could do an update on the new module. When it clearly states in the recall that abs modules with an insufficient ground connection would be replaced. Volkswagen has done nothing but say they can't get the code to show for them to perform the recall. I understand why Volkswagen has the most complaints because even if it's something they are required to fix they will try to weasel their way out of remedying the situation.

My abs light came on and then my red brake light came on, a few days later my epc light came on. About a week after that that my speedometer stopped working and I noticed that the mileage had stopped counting. I took it to napleton's Volkswagen service department in orlando and (short version) received a quote to do the work of over $1700 to fix the abs before they could even tell me if there was a problem with the abs as they could not upload the software for the recall. . The problem was directly related to the abs module. . Which in my paperwork is described in the recall information. I have told them not to fix my car as I believe this is incorrect (most of the work they quoted I believe is incorrect) and will be taking it to a mechanic I trust. It also opens the door for fraud as if I allowed them to do the work and then "fix" the recall that would seem like they would be charging me and Volkswagen for the work. They also are charging me for diagnostic on the abs but per their own words they haven't been able to do the diagnostic. My car actually runs fine, however without the speedometer and having the brake lights on it feels very unsafe. The problem started 2 weeks ago July 23, 2018 and I brought it to service dealer yesterday.
