Cruise control slowly fades out (occasionally) without warning, except the sight ofan enormous truck grill in my rear-view mirror. None of the local vw dealers could fix it, nor would they replace it. Vw zone manager told me to forget it. Car is 1999 Passat wagon, 4-cyl. Is this common?.

Abs light keeps coming on, and the abs system is locking up. Also, horn keeps going off, and cruise control keeps coming on.
Auto has cruise control. The owner's manual indicates that there is a cruise control indicator light on the dashboard. When the cruise control is on/engaged, no indicator light shows on the dash. Morong vw (the falmouth, maine service center we use) and the vw customer service hotline indicate that despite the owner's manual statement that cars with cruise control have a cruise control indicator light, none is installed in 2001 vw Passats. They both indicated that no repairs would be made to this problem, despite my request. In my view, it is potentially dangerous for there not to be an indicator showing the cruise control to be engaged. I've never owned a car or been in a car with cruise control that did not have such a light. Without the light, there is higher risk of inadvertent engagement, or failure to remember that the system is engaged, both potentially dangerous situations. Is there any regulation that requires such a light? thanks for your time.

When coming to a complete stop or while cruising, the vehicle lurches forward. The dealer recalibrated the computer chip in the accelerator pedal and also replaced the transmission control module. After the repairs, the problem continued. The transmission made a clunk noise, malfunctioned in heavy traffic/highway, and a hard shift was present at times.
