Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit

When driving, my 09 Rabbit, the power staring light will flash yellow to red and then stay red, I'm jerked to the side, right and left . On some occasions when making a right turn, it feels as though I'm being sling shot forward, I have a terrible wobble and when this happens I cannot accelerate over 45 without the car sounding like a helicopter, my ac and abs light will flash on then off sporadically. My transmission slips periodically and this happens regardless if I'm on the highway or city streets. I have been to four mechanics, I've had the right front axle replaced, tires rotated and balanced, a new battery and a front end alignment. Luckily the last mechanic I took the car to hooked it up to his machine and got codes for the electronic stability control malfunction and abs module malfunction. I have checked the recall site and both modules have been recalled for my make, model and year, however my VIN is not included.

Abs module. The abs light and other lights came on. Vw released a recall. After taking it to the dealership they said they will only replace for free if there is an issue with the ground on the module. They are trying to charge $1500+ to replace the module.

I just purchased my used 2009 vw Rabbit. The abs light came on, traction, break light, esp. Went to the dealership and they stated the abs pump was not functioning. Many Volkswagen owners with cars within the abs recall years have the same exact issue and Volkswagens recall will only cover the module portion and not the abs pump (of course the most expensive part). I was quoted an insane price for the repairs and the part that needs repairs, when purchased, just happens to come with the recalled part (the electronic module). I called Volkswagen and they stated that the recall was only for tge electronic portion and I would have to take care of the pump. I believe this faulty electronic module has everything to do with the pump failing.

2009 vw 2l Rabbit: driving home in the rain, my car has under 80k. The speed limit is 45, but in the rain, I was doing closer to 40. The street is a fairly trafficked road, double yellow each direction single lane expanding to double lane, concrete islands, and stoplights. Total drive before first shimmy was probably about the 4mile mark. The abs light comes on, the esp/asr comes on, and the "brake" to the right of that starts flashing in red. The car shimmied when this started, and then the brakes worked but were squishy/sloppy getting to a place to stop. I was informed to get the car towed to the dealership. The dash lights start to flicker. At the dealership they say it is the whole abs module, and replacing it will cost about as much as the car. They say it is safe to drive: I drive home, because they say the abs is not connected to vital functions, and electronics. The dash light clears. . . . Drive home. Light comes back on on, car wiggles and fishtails, and brakes are squishy and not as responsive. Dash is flickering. I went online and found this is a 2009 known problem. I call the dealership back: because they are in process of a recall (I found out on this website). I am told I am sol because it is not completed yet, so I can pay for their arm and leg, and perhaps, if the gods are kind, I will get some re-imbursment at a later date. (but don't count on it) all of the fishtailing, and electrical flashing, are done at speeds of under 45mph. The fact that this is intermittent (but probably about to become permanent) is scary! if I had been driving during high traffic times today, it could have been a very ugly accident.

My abs light has been going on the past few days when I use the brakes. Especially when I am turning. I am not slamming the brakes on at all-- I am a very careful driver. I know this seems to be a common problem with the car and Volkswagen will not cover repairs. My car has about 76, 000 miles.
