A number of warning lights come on when the car is turned on and sound alarms come on and off while driving. the steering wheel moves on its own at times and the speedometer does not work. i took the car to my local vw dealer located in countryside il (autobarn) knowing that there is a recall on the abs system. the dealer explained that the abs module was not working and needed replacement ($2,400) parts and labor and that the recall did not cover what is wrong with the part.
About two weeks ago while driving straight on a city street in dry conditionat a steady speed the esc light on my dash came on and would not go out until i had parked the car for some time and restarted it. the light then came back on again after about 5 minutes of driving, this time it was accompanied by the electric power steering warning light which began to flash orange, then was solid orange and then flashed between orange and red. when the electric steering light is orange the steering assistance is reduced when straightening after cornering, however when it is red there is no power assistance and this condition can happen at any speed and at anytime without warning. now yesterday(7/14/2019) when driving at 40mph in a straight line in the dry, the engine fail! workshop now!, esp,epc, electro steering, cel and abs warning lights came on accompanied by a chime and the speedo went from 40 to 0 and back up again while in motion. quite disconcerting to have all that happen at once. after all the lights went out the vehicle seemed to be ok until i attempted to pull out of ...
The vehicle shifted gears in motion while driving on city streets. parked the car in may of 2017 and haven't driven it since. vw has refused to take responsibility, even though i've brought the issue of the vehicle having trouble switching to reverse from a parked position while i was at the dealership for service. have received multiple occasions where the abs/check engine light came on. repeatedly taking it into the dealership to no avail. ** note: vw has refused to repair the issues "free of charge" as stated. that i'd have to pay for inspection by a dealership and since i'm 'out of warranty', i'm sure they'd charge me for the service as well. in addition, there was no 'open inspections' done to look into the recall before my purchase of the vehicle as a pre-owned certified car from the vw dealership. this was in dec. 2010. ** tried submitting this before, which caused an error and fail. it erased all my data. please review my attached document.
