Random unwanted braking action during driving and dangerous steering force to the right side. I had to use both hands and force to keep car on the road on the interstate. No fault codes found vw dealership could not find any problem. They replaced the abs modem to a cost of $2669 but the problem remains. The brakes lock up when just backing up on my driveway too. I have read on the vw forums that a lot of people are having the same problems on 2009, 2012,2013 jetta. I am afraid to take the car on the road and especially on the interstate again!.

While driving on a major highway at approximately 65 mph, my car completely shut off. The steering wheel froze, all the lights on the dashboard started blinking and the car's engine completely shut down. The wheel locked as I was able to steer to the median. I got out of the car and another car behind me immediately crashed into my stopped car, totaling it.

While about to drive my vehicle to work which had been parked in my driveway for about 48 since the last drive made a horrible grinding noise in both drive and reverse moving a few feet. I immediately put the vehicle in park to find the rear driver side suspension collapsed and the tire was pressed against the wheel well. Additionally unidentified parts from either the brake system or wheel well had abraded off. The car was jacked up in place and it was immediately apparent that the spring had broken and had shattered in a section. The spring was properly installed as a replacement for another spring failure by a ase mechanic using genuine oem parts from a vw dealer. While it is unknown at this time how much additional damage this faulty failed part caused, it is evident that had the car been driven at any speed when this happened, loss of control would be guaranteed and possibly death. I am retaining the failed part as evidence and plan on contacting an independent investigator or attorney as this could have certainly been fatal and is the most heinous example of metallurgical malpractice.
