Vsa Warning Light On Problems of Volkswagen Rabbit

Displaying abs light, electronic stability light, emergency brake beeps then light remains on blinking, steering alignment light displays, changed out the rear abs sensors and the right rear wheel hub, all lights remain on. Because my car was manufactured in 2007 it is not part of the recall for the abs module (a known issue) so either I park the car permanently or cough up a ridiculous amount of money to fix a known issue. I have driven the car at lower speeds and several times was forced to rely on the e-brake because the brake pedal would not operate. It is seriously dangerous to have on the road due to an issue that Volkswagen been aware of for a long period of time.

As per NHTSA 16v-913 my Volkswagen Rabbit has been presenting the symptoms stated in the safety recall. The abs light, electronic stability control, and brake light have come on numerous times and hard braking, and in not so hard braking in the snow. He problem has progressively worsened to the point that these lights no longer go out after and ignition cycle. I am essentially driving without abs or stability control, one of the main reasons I purchased this car. The code for u0121 lost communication with anti-lock brake system (abs) control module no longer clear with a hand held code reader or a laptop running ross-tech's vcds software. I took my broken Volkswagen to danbury vw in danbury CT to perform the safety recall (16v-913). Because of not being able to communicate with the abs control module to upload the new software, they have denied the recall and say I must foot the bill to replace the module so they can then upload the new software to see if they get the code for faulty solder joint. Volkswagen is trying to side step this issue. I believe my car would have been able to upload the software when this issue first started happening, but now the abs control module has completely failed, probably due to the bad solder compound. Now they are denying claims, I am not the only one. The nthsa needs to look deeper into this problem.

The abs, brake, and stability control warning lamps came on during a scary event on the expressway. I hit the brake pedal hard and quickly turned the steering wheel in order to avoid hitting a car that swerved across two lanes and cut in front of me. The abs and stability control systems failed, but the hydraulic brake system worked like a car without electronic controls, so I was able to control the car while braking and steering near the traction limit. The problem is that the lamps stayed on until I turned off the engine. There was no abs or stability control system while the lights were on. I cycled the key to test the lamps. The lamps functioned correctly during the bulb test and turned off after a few seconds. On the first repair attempt, the wheel hubs, bearings, and wheel speed sensor rotors/exciter rings/tone rings were inspected. Any road debris, dust, dirt, and magnetic particles were removed. There was no looseness, end play, or runout. The wheel speed sensors were removed, cleaned, and installed, but the symptom returned during another scary event. On the second repair attempt, the abs control module (electronic black box component, not hydraulic control component) had a software failure per vw tech support analyzing the failure conditions, visual indicators (warning lamps), audio indicators (warning tones), and scan tool codes. The abs control module was replaced.
