Fault on anti locking brake (abs), indicated by illumination on dash, esc light on and flashing brake light on. Dealer was notified that issue as listed in safety recall 16v-913 applies to other vehicles not listed on VIN range. This is a huge safety concern and needs to be addressed as others have indicated the same issue exists on their models not covered by VIN recall. Customer service (vw) was called, per dealer direction and customer service at vw does not know how to read the VIN codes or can tell me which VIN code makes the faulty abs module applicable or not applicable to my vehicle.
Abs control module is defective. I lose braking power randomly especially when turning steering wheel to the left. Abs, traction control and airbag lights are on. Brake light warning will flash randomly and the speedometer jumps up and down randomly.
Tl the contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that the brakes were faulty. The contact attempted to brake and the pedal went straight to the floorboard.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the abs hydraulic pump was faulty and recommended that a dealer be contacted.

Abs recall: when the vehicle was started I noticed the abs indicator light was illuminated. Also, the brake light was blinking and a beeping tone was audible. Otherwise, the vehicle was driving fine. Next the steering wheel indicator, epc indicator, and check engine light was illuminated. Now, the vehicle is a bit difficult to steer and the speedometer is not working. There is an abs recall for vehicles of the same year, make and model, but unfortunately, my vehicle VIN is not included in that recall. I cannot get a clear understanding from vw as to why my vehicle is not covered by the recall.
Suddenly one day I saw abs brake light is on , I took the car to authorized Volkswagen dealer , and they told that abs needs to be replaced and the cost is around $3000. I searched in internet and saw vw is replacing some defective abs module , I contacted to vw, USA and they refused to do so as my VIN is not the candidate for recall but I see in internet my model and make and year is the candidate for recall . My case number with vw is 180087368.
Abs warning light on, traction control warning light on and brake light flashing NHTSA recall bulletin # 16v913000 brake are acting sporadic, pulsating when trying to stop. City driving does not fell safe. Vw says my vehicle is not covered and it is the exact model in the bulletin referenced above.
