Abs esp brake steering wheel warning lights illuminate and beep at any time while driving or when ignition key is on position. *tr
Multiple warning lights on dashboard, abs, traction control and brake lights along with 3 audible beeps. abs system no longer functioning along with traction control. mechanic has indicated there is a known defect with the abs module in this model year and just within the last week vw has issued a partial recall but has not expanded to include all vehicles. repair costs are over $2000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 volkswagen jetta. the contact stated that while the driving at 25-35 mph, the etc, the abs, traction control, the fuel gauge, and the brake warning lights all illuminated. the contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed and the brake seized and the steering became difficult to turn. the vehicle was taken to day audi located at: 1580 golden mile hwy, monroeville, pa 15146, (724) 327-4900, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the abs module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v913000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electronic stability control). the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. the manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 109,000.
On june 22, 2016, while driving on a winding road the abs/esc lights illuminated and flashed. they went away when the car was turned off and restarted. then, on november 15, 2016, i made a defensive driving maneuver after being cut off by another car. i was driving approx 60 mph on the freeway and applied the brakes quickly to avoid hitting the other car. the brakes locked up causing the care to skid. the car began to fishtail and lose control. i was unable to steer properly and the abs system never engaged. the car spun and did 180 degree turn slamming into the side of the freeway wall causing over $4000 in damage to the car. after the crash the abs/esc caution lights were illuminated and flashing. the lights went away when the car was turned off and restarted. then on jan. 5 2017, during adverse weather conditions (snow packed roads), my car slid off the freeway and became stuck. i had to request emergency road side services to pull me out. i was traveling under 10 mph and the abs system failed to engage. once again the abs and esc warning lights were illuminated turning off when the car was restarted. all of these incidents appear to be directly related to the recent recall notice for the abs control module failure.
During normal driving of the vehicle, it had many dash lights turn on simultaneously, including abs, traction control, brake (even though emergency brake was not engaged), epc, and power steering. the gas gauge dropped to zero intermittently and the speedometer dropped to 0 while the car was being driven at around 25mph. on the short drive home, the car went into limp mode and lost power steering. the issue has been diagnosed as the abs module needing replaced for over $2000. the car has approximately 85k miles on it, and this part should last the lifetime of the car. thankfully, there was no accident involved like some of the other complaints. if this happened on the freeway it could have caused a serious accident. beyond the complaints with the nhtsa, there are countless other drivers on vw forums of jetta and other models from 2009 with the same issue.
While driving the vehicle, i had to stop quickly due to possible impact with a car which ran a red light. my abs kicked in to prevent wheel lock up and suddenly esp/abs lights came on along with 3 loud beeps and my wheels locked up. abs/esp lights stayed on and my traction control, stability control and abs did not function anymore. conventional braking was still working normal and car was drive-able. upon performing a abs/esp scan for faults, it indicated a internal failure of the abs control module. turning the car on and off resets the lights and abs function is restored, but if you attempt to do another panic stop- all the lights come on and anti-lock brakes do not function- brakes lock up.
My wife was driving her 2009 vw jetta and the abs, traction control and brake light comes on the dashboard the other day with a beeping sound also. first let me say this car just turned 65,000 miles. i have owned many vehicles in my lifetime and this is unacceptable for a major safety device to fail as this did so early in the life of this car. i have read many other complaints that the abs control module fails and consumers have lost steering. this part is $1550.00 and another $375.00 to install, total of $1925.00. you can only buy this part new at the vw dealer ( just called). i can't believe this has not been recalled by now. please someone look into this problem. i don't want my wife driving this car, it is not safe with no abs working and possible loss of steering. also don't know if this is connected to the abs problem but the rear brakes are used up way to soon. brake dust all over the rear wheels. i'm a car guy and work on cars, this is not right.. thank you.. *tr
Car's abs and brake system has been failing once a while causing car to lose control of stability. random "engine workshop failure" many times while starting up the car and car performance gets very limited.
Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2009 volkswagen jetta. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v913000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electronic stability control). the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. the dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. the manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. the contact was not experiencing a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available.
Abs module failure. result in loss of power steering, antilock braking system functionality, and traction control at the same time
The failure that occurred was while the vehicle was in motion, on a city street, almost all the indicator lights turned on (brake, abs, check engine, and stability control) and the fuel and speedometer gauges went out. after pulling over and restarting the car, it seem to operate ok, but then everything lit up again. i pulled over on a side street to test the brakes and it seemed to brake "normal" without engaging the abs. it seem like the car operates without abs, stability control, the speedometer, and fuel gauge.
Here's another abs module failure thanks to vw's horrible design. the failure is causing the entire dash cluster to go haywire. car beeps all the time because it thinks the emergency brake is on. speedometer doesn't work! fuel gauge jumps up when engaging brakes. abs, traction, epc, cel lights constantly on, and sometimes it goes into limp mode making it dangerous to drive on the highway. vw charges $2,000 for the part excl labor which is 20% of the price of the car new. this should not happen with a seven year old car at only 100k miles
Abs, traction control, and brake light warnings all flashing. abs control module faulty and needed to be replaced
Randomly, most of the vehicle warning lights, check engine or malfunction indicator light, brake system, abs, traction control or esp, airbag fault, appear while i am using a brake for red light and driving on any kinds of roads. then i feel the wheel as heavier than usual, the past (cannot turn smoothly like before). i just purchased the used vehicle on december 16, 2015. the cardealer, autonation, sold the car by advertising that's well maintenanced and all checked. however, within6 months after the purchase, those vehicle warning lights came up on the display. autonation suggested me to go to wollswagen dealer. the mechanic at the local volkswagen dealer gave me an estimates for the repair around 2,000 usd saying that abs system is not working and needs to be replaced by a new one. i asked a help to autonation, but the dealer said that's why volkswagen car is known as a risky choise. the dealer appolozied me saying that he cannot help me. is there any way to return the car to autonation or to get my car repaired by autonation?
In april of 2016 car just had 6 indicator lights on dash. just happened one day on the highway. speedometer, gas gauge none of the dash worked. red light constant flashing. we ended up having to park it for 6 months while still paying 300 a month car payment and full coverage insurance until i had money to fix it. around the same time the back passenger window stopped working and still doesn't work. i got this car in march of 2015 i believe. it has cost me so much money and i am hoping that i may be able to get a reimbursement on the 800 i spent to fix it, only to have it do this stuff randomly every few months. just 2 weeks ago i had to slam on the brakes while driving and there was a bang sound and i drove it home. the next day it drove to work ok and then on way home when it started it immediately was running badly and check engine light and all that was on again. we took it to mechanic and he said thermostat was stuck open and it did need a coil and wires or something also. it has been just constant with this car and i am spending a ton of money. it's really difficult raising a family and working 30 miles away from my home and dealing with this constantly. oh, and the air conditioner only works in the winter time. definately not when idleling. mechanic says that's a 400$ part so i'm just trying to scrounge up the money to fix that part of the electric disaster this car is before it hits 101 on my days sitting in traffic. please help. the document i have to upload is the reciept from the repair. it was messed up for almost a year before i could fix it. mostly just sitting.
Here's a video i made that shows the effects: http://youtu.be/ubg3nmsa75m i'll just be driving along and suddenly the car will start beeping and the power steering will quit working and every warning light on the dashboard will come on at the same time and the speedometer will drop to zero no matter what speed i'm driving and sometimes the car will pop out of gear while i'm driving 70 miles an hour on the freeway. it started out intermittently in 2014 and the dealership couldn't diagnose the problem. but then it started happening more and more frequently and the issue could be identified in late 2015. so now 2 different vw dealerships have told me that the issue is a faulty abs module. it's crazy that an abs module can shut down so many different systems while the car is in motion. if you look around online you'll find it affects several different vw models, at least the jetta and the golf, maybe others. my wife and i don't drive the car anymore because we don't want to get in a wreck when the car just pops out of gear for no reason. but i bet other people have been hurt by these faulty abs modules and all the dangerous effects they have on the car.
During normal driving abs, brake, and esc lights turned on to inform me there's problem with the braking system. my vehicle at the time only had around 55,000 miles. i believe the abs module prematurely malfunctioned. vw dealer confirmed a faulty abs module and it will cost $2,200 to fix it. when searching for related issues on the internet, if found numerous similar complaints regarding the abs failure. i can only assume that there are more drivers who have experienced the problem like me, but has not filed a complaint yet. i didn't even consider filing a complaint until i finally got it confirmed that it was the abs module failure. i believe vw should replace the abs module at no cost to owner.
Abs warning light solid yellow, break light flashing red and beeping, esp/asr light solid yellow (inactive.) vw dealership replaced abs module and pump total bill $ 3109.44
I was driving down the street when a loud beeping and the red abs failure + every light on dashboard lit up. every gauge stopped working (the gas gauge, speedometer, etc) i was close to home and carefully proceeded to the house. after a half mile the car stalled and the engine died. because i was prepared for an event, i immediately set hazards and rolled to the side of the road. i restarted the car and made it the rest of the way home (2 blocks) without it stalling again. i have not driven the car since, i took it the vw dealer and it was determined the abs module failed / broke and caused the problems. this is obviously a manufacturing the defect which can cause an immediate harmful affect. if i was on a highway or being careful far beyond any normal sense i could have easily been in a life threatening accident.
Upon driving through a highway interchange at a lower rate of speed the electronic stability control disconnected with an amber solid light on the instrument cluster indicating so, the anti-lock braking system also disengaged indicated as well with an amber solid light on the instrument cluster, and the brake light was flashing red on the instrument cluster. upon turning off the car and turning it back on it resets, however the issue is becoming more common as time goes on. *tr
Anti-lock brake and stability control failure during braking event. during braking event on slippery surface: 1.) abs engaged as normal at start of braking event. 2.) abs stopped working and wheels locked up resulting in vehicle rotation. 3.) stability control and brake warning lights came on accompanied by a beep. 4.) after braking event warning lights remained on and abs/stability were non-functional. 5.) after car restart warning lights were gone and abs/stability control worked. under gentle braking on slippery surface abs works. able to consistently recreate issue with hard braking or hard acceleration on slippery surface. there is no indication of an issue prior to failure. car was checked by vw dealership prior to failure and no error codes were returned pertaining to abs/stability control. *tr
Tl* the contact owned a 2009 volkswagen jetta. while driving at approximately 45 mph and applying the brake pedal, the abs, the stability, and the brake warning lights illuminated. in addition, there was a loud abnormal noise and the vehicle spun out of control. the vehicle flipped three times and crashed into a bush. the air bags did not deploy. there were no injuries. the contact did not disclose if a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear passenger axle was fractured. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
My vw jetta tdi had many problems since i purchased it. first, we had problems with the injection system imploding. they asked if we ever put in gasoline instead of diesel. i told them absolutely not. they wanted to charge me $6500 because car was out of warranty but service manager got vw to pay for it because i said i was going to get an attorney. on june 27, 2014 we had with an electrical problem where the battery was draining from a short in the radio modulator. the car had 101,348 miles. they fixed the problem which took 9 days to fix and cost $1238.56. i noticed the radio would stayed on with the key out of the car after that though. then we had the check engine, air bag, abs and traction lights on at 109,452. i took it to my service station on 11/28/2014, but he said the dealer had to program update the software and check the abs module for electrical problem. the dealer said it was the o2 sensor on number 2 cylinder. they found no problems with the air bag, abs module or traction control. they charged me $600. the lights were all off. on january 3, my 17 year old daughter and her girlfriend went to the movies last night with the car. it was lightly raining out. she left the movie theatre around 8:20 pm. she came up to an intersection that was turning red. she applied the brakes and skidded through the intersection hitting another vehicle that was crossing. she was doing about 40 mph. she said the car did not want to stop. she said there where lights on the dashboard when she was driving. people in the other car went to hospital. *tr
Going down the interstate at 70mph beside a semi, the car slightly (not enough to take me out of my lane) pulls to the side & ding! ding! ding! 'abs' & 'esp' lights come on & the emergency 'brake' light on the dash starts flashing. no additional symptoms that i noticed on the next 15miles to work, just the dash lights. upon arriving at work i park & shut the car off. restart it. and everything appears as thou it was an aberration. no lights. no dinging. from a car that goes nuts when you're simply just low on wiper-fluid, it could be something major like an abs module or 'speed sensor' (from what 100s of other owners say online) or something 'minor' like a corroded fuse. needless to say, while i'm wincing at the potential repair costs, i'm in fear of & dreading my drive home this evening. i'm glad no one was hurt this time but as we all know, the odds are someone is going to get hurt. whatever is causing this problem for numerous vw owners is a safety issue. if abs & traction control are mandatory features on a car via the nhtsa, it stands to reason that rampant problems such as vw jetta owners are experiencing is a manufacturer's quality issue. it's not normal wear & tear. i actually trust the nhtsa to do the right things here; find out what the problem is & make vw fix it. the only other option the nhtsa has is to ignore a blatant problem with the abs & traction stability controls of a mass production family sedan/vehicle. *tr
Driving down the highway i had to slam on my brakes, expecting the abs to kick on i kept my foot down until i realized all my tires had locked up and i started to slide sideways. in heavy traffic i began pumping my brakes. ever since, my abs system will work for a brief second before shutting off. this is a known issue for many 2009 mark v vw vehicles including the jetta. i was told by vw that it would bea $1600 replacment abs module. this should be recalled as a safety hazard by vwoa.
My vehicle was stuck in a snow drift at the end of my road. i deactivated my electronic skid protection to get my vehicle free from the snow drift. i successfully made it onto the road and only going 20mpn due to icy roads and bad weather conditions. 1 to 2 miles down from where i was stuck, my abs and esp light came on and i almost lost control but because i was going so slow, i was a ble to keep it on the road. i pulled into the closest gas station to investigate and my rear brakes were locked up and would not come loose. i thought they may ahve been frozen so i cleaned what snow was on there and actuated the brakes several times, moving my vehicle back and forth to break them loose. this did not work so i drove it about 4 miles to the closest vw dealership, which was very difficult due to the icy roads and my rear wheels locked up. the vw technician told me that because my rear wheels were stuck in that snow drift and my front tires were trying to get me unstuck, a code popped up which activated my rear brakes. he cleared the code and my car works perfectly fine. if this "code" had tripped 10 minutes later, i would have been on the highway traveling at higher speeds on very bad road conditions and would have cause an accident. i do not know if the dealership was truthful as to what they found, if it was truly a code or if they were just frozen shut which created the code. i just wanted to create a complaint to log this issue in case this happens again, i have proof of the issue and complaint. *tr
My abs light came on when i was in cruise control at 60 mph and knocked me out of cruise control. another time i was getting ready to stop for a stop sign and the brake pedal started to vibrate and i almost couldn't stop and the abs light went on. *tr
I picked the car up from the dealer on friday sept. 30 for repairs from the earlier incident and drove the car approximately 95 miles. on sat. oct 1 i drove 5 miles and as i turned into my drive way the car shut off in the same manner as before, the doors unlocked and the dash board lights went black. only this time it did not restart after waiting. i had the car towed to the dealer again, and this time it was a faulty climate control switch in the electrical unit. i contacted vw america again about the issues with the car. see compliant #10428913. i expressed my issues the safety of the car and that the car was suddenly shutting off. vw america covered the cost of the second repairs but not the first. *tr
My jetta gli stalled on me while i was on the highway in 5th gear. the epc warning light came on prior to the car stalling. i was unable to start the car after. *tr
1) abs/esp lights came on while cruising at highway speeds. 2) diagnosed as an internal electrical failure of the abs hydraulic pump. abs and esp inoperable. 3) hydraulic pump must be replaced for a shocking $2,800! *tr
Shortly after purchase, car began to fill with water. not directly from the sun roof but from a disconnected or damaged drain hose. causing serious mold & electrical problems. vw has reluctantly looked into the problem, replaced parts, but only made it worse. and the car is now undrivable. *tr
