I am making a complaint against Volkswagen for refusing to perform the abs safety recall. The abs module is dead, I found out the hard way that I have no abs or traction control. I stopped on the highway and lost control, I could have died and the van that hit me twice could did worse. The dealer refuses to perform the recall and is completely unhelpful. Yes there were warning lights and thats why I took it to the dealer. P. S. This happened a day before the accident. Two different vw dealers refused to perform the abs module recall on my car even though volkwagen customer care called to make my appointment, the car was too old, the repair was to expensive and also that the module wasnt communicating. It specifically says it in the recall, that if the module is not responding to replace it. The next day when I driving the car on the highway, I stepped on the brakes and the car started spinning on the highway, it spun into another lane and hit another car. I realized that the car did exactly what a car with no abs would do.

Absmodule is defective, known problem for this car and volkswagon will not repair under warranty. After 2007 model year they will cove repair.

Upon approaching a red light brakes were applied but did not slow the vehicle. Rather than stopping the pedal depressed to the floor with resistance but never slowed the vehicle resulting in a rear end collision.

Abs control module - approximately $2,000 to replace vw has already recalled the abs control module for '08 and up cars. . . I happen to have an '07 with the same module that is not covered by the recall.

The current recall (manufacturer recall 45f2, NHTSA recall 16v913) for the known abs control module faulty grounding issue is woefully inadequate, as it allows those already suffering from the faults that the software update is designed to be more sensitive to are unable to receive satisfaction. If either or both of the faults that would necessitate a module replacement after a software update are present prior to the software update, the software update cannot be performed & Volkswagen will take no further action. Essentially, those vehicles that have a module that has already failed are not being repaired while those that have not yet failed (but may be susceptible or starting to fail) are being repaired. These specific faults (01130 - 125/4th and/or 16352 - 96/4th) are for detecting a bad ground due to an improper solder used in the modules. It should not matter if those faults are present prior to a software update or after a software update that is ostensibly designed simply to better detect those exact faults. The fault begins as an intermittent fault that is caused by hard braking or hitting a bump but can be cleared by a vehicle restart. Over time, if the module is not replaced, the solder on the ground degrades further & the fault becomes more semi-constant & cannot be simply cleared. The way that the current recall is worded allows vw to deny the recall work simply because of the degree of degradation to the grounds. Over time, this fault can interfere with the speedometer, tachometer and transmission shifting of automatic transmission vehicles. And on both automatic & manual transmission vehicles, causes a very unsafe failure of the traction control system when cornering or stopping in normal daily road conditions (brakes locking, rear-end losing traction, etc).

Abs brake module. Computer loses communication with abs brake module, power steering is disabled, electronic stability control is disabled odometer and speedometer become diabled. When this happens it can cause over steer and under steer. Almost caused accident on two occasions. Recall sent, vw still won't fix the issue. Previous complaint listed.

While driving and attempting to stop the brakes become very stiff and push up against your foot similar to what traction control does but the more you press on th brake peddle the harder it becomes to stop. This is intermittent but alarming enough that the car is not being used.

The contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to engage while making right or left turns and traveling downhill. The abs warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v913000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electronic stability control). The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.

Nhtsa campaign number: 16v913000 lists 2009 Volkswagen Rabbits to be affected in this recall. I am currently facing the same exact issue described and my car also matches this description. However, when I did a VIN search, it shows that this car is not listed. Can I get my car onto the list?.

I believe the faulty abs was the reason I got in a car accident on Dec 20, 2016 and again on March 14, 2017. On Dec 20, I was driving on the highway in chicago, after recent snow, so roads were a little wet. 2 other cars hit each other in front of me, so I pressed the brake pedal with more than enough distance between me and them to stop in time in most correctly functioning cars. When I put brakes on, I realized I wasn't slowing down quick enough, and ended up hitting the car in front of me. I originally attributed it to conditions, but now I believe bad abs allowed this accident to happen. On March 14, I was also driving on the highway after recent snow, and a little snow fell on the lane in front of me (I think from 18-wheel truck in right lane), I applied brakes, started fishtailing, and ended up loosing control and ended up doing 180 before another car hit me. Both times driving speed was slow, nobody got hurt in accidents. Again, I've driven in rain, sleet, snow, and ice alot of the years and never had problems, so I believe the bad abs allowed this accident to happen.

The abs module in my vehicle failed around 90,000 miles, which I'm now discovering is a very common for this particular model and year. The abs system ceased to function but other systems were affected as well; my speedometer would stop working for several minutes at a time, as well as my fuel gauge. Power steering would cut out and I would experience a considerable loss of power from the engine. I was nearly hit while crossing a busy intersection because I couldn't get any acceleration from the car. The check engine light has also been triggered intermittently by this problem so I haven't been able to pass a smog check, making my vehicle illegal to drive in the state of California where I'm stationed with the marines. Volkswagen dealerships are charging more than $1,500 to fix the issue and there has been no recall issued for the problem.

My 2009 vw Rabbit has had intermittent abs issues for a few months now. The car has 67k miles. Occasionally, when the abs activates the the dash will light up with the abs, brake, and esp light. The car will also beeps a few times. After this happens, the car will have no abs or stability control. Restarting the car will make the lights turn off, but the issue will happen again when the abs is activated.

My abs brake pump and/or control module have failed at 75k miles. I purchased this car for my children and used the iihs safety rating when selecting it. The repair is over $2000. I've read countless threads of vw owners with similar problems on multiple models. I've contacted vw and even wrote their executive team and was told there was nothing they would do. With so many such issues reported, I believe it's time for NHTSA to act on behalf of vw owners whose vehicles should be repaired at vw's expense.

The traction control on my vehicle initially did not turn on even after pressing the button that turns the esc on and off. After not being able to activate it, my abs, break light, esc, and steering wheel lights have come on. Now my vehicle looses traction if I make a fast turn. My steering has also become really stiff. When the vehicle is stationary, the fuel meter goes down despite the fact that the car has fuel. Lastly, the speedometer goes up and down while being stationed. This same problem regarding the abs control module has effected hundreds of 2009 Volkswagen owners and despite the documented evidence, Volkswagen has refused to cover this under a recall.

Put on brakes suddenly. Car spun out of control to the left hitting a highway divider and then to the right hitting a car. My car was totaled and the ins. Co. Paid me the full market value for it. This happened twice before about 6 month and 5 years ago with no damage to the car.

My car has been running fine since purchase and I have had all the necessary maintenance done to prevent issues. Last week while driving on a major highway my cars steering wheel locked as well as stalled almost causing a major accident. When I looked it up it seems that this vehicle has been issue with campaign number: 10v621000. Albeit this is not the same issue but my vehicle has experienced fuel leakage at the same time and I have reason to believe that they are interrelated. Beyond that, there have been several complaints about the same issue on many vw forums. This is a major issue and a huge safety problem. Could you imagine the lives that could have perished if I had not handled that situation effectively. I am now told that I need to replace this part for $2000 where I truly believe Volkswagen should be held liable. This company has shady business practices and I would not be surprised if this issue is due to a defective part. My car was bought in 2009 and has 76,000 miles on it.

While driving at a normal speed of 45mph, the car began to shake slightly. All of the instrument panel lights flashed on, and the fuel gauge along with the speedometer began to fail. As a result, the car needed to be pulled over and stopped in order to prevent a serious accident from occurring.
