Took vehicle in for abs recall and was told volkswagen denied the recall because the abs module was bad. it is bad to begin with. volkswagen has came up with a scam to please nhtsa but not satisfy customers. quoted $1532.62 for a new one that should be replaced by volkswagen because it's already faulty.
The car disables the abs while driving, and the abs, brake and electronic stability control indicators are lit simultaneously, while the car dings. quite distracting. a little research shows complaints for the same behavior since just oct. 30, 2019: nhtsa id number: 11277060 nhtsa id number: 11288718 nhtsa id number: 11283008 nhtsa id number: 11279604 there is a recall which was considered closed for my vehicle for this issue: 16v913000 dealership has also quoted about $1500 to replace the abs module, because the current module cannot be updated. seems like there are lots of bad modules that cannot be updated. this is a hazard condition; especially here in michigan.

I have been told my car is not eligible for the abs module replacement claim but there is a problem with it as i drive the car. the brake light, traction control light and abs light are all on and flashing with a beep that is consistent once the key is in the ignition and it's a very distracting sound that i wish i could fix myself but even the part costs $600+ and to go to the dealer and get it fixed for $1800. i am a college student who doesn't have the funds to fix this issue and i have not been given a reason why my vehicle is not eligible for the fix.

Abs module recall for 2009 volkswagen models affected needs to be revised, for there are lots of cars that suffer from abs modules failing while they are driving. some cars which are illegible are left unfixed by volkswagen because they do not fit the specific details of the recall. the company shipped cars out with faulty abs modules and refuse to fix it and those cars are hazardous on the road. my vehicle, for example, has abs module working intermittently while it should be staying on. during a diagnosis the ecu senses no communication between it and the abs module, which is a hazard knowing my abs will not always function when i need it to stop quicker in response to the many obstacles on the road. the faulty abs sensor messed with my steering and gauges. the gauges do not present real time calculations and the steering assist has completely shut down due to abs being unresponsive.

Brakes locking up..lights for abs stability on
I got a recall on my abs module and voltswagon is fighting with me and saying they're not paying for it or doing it for me when it clearly states on the email i got that they will pay for all services. i'm still able to drive it but since it has to do with my brakes it makes me very nervous.

Abs vw jetta recall. my 2009 vw is currently under a safety recall for abs system failures. the abs system on my car has in fact failed, yet the dealer is refusing to complete the recall because the system is in failure and they claim that the software cannot be updated to see if the system is failing. the dealer instructed me to replace the abs system in my car (at my own cost) so they can complete the software check. the estimate for the repair was $2900. i refused as the part in question is under recall. they claim the recall does not cover my failed abs system. i believe volkswagen is abdicating their safety responsibilities for a known problem and failed part in their cars. in a cursory review online there are hundreds of similar complaints to be found online. i hope that the ntsb is reviewing similar complaints and will compel vw to make the mechanical repairs to the abs systems necessary, not just check the software.

This car skids out and fish tails when applying brakes. i bought this for my teenager daughter and i don't feel it's safe because the abs system is turned off by by a faulty module. it's already been in one accident.
I was on snow and braked hard to turn into my driveway, as i was sliding a bit. i heard a pop and the skid, brake and abs lights came on with a dinging alarm. my brakes still seemed to work. i took my car to have it checked and was told by my mechanic that the abs module was bad according to his scanner. it was below freezing at the time, so my mechanic told me to wait for the weather to warm up, and hopefully something was just frozen. he said that it indicated a ground wire was a problem to the abs module and maybe it was just a matter of fixing that, or the module was bad. i looked up that the 2009 jettas had a problem and recall on the abs modules. i took it to the dealer, who updated software, but said mine didn't qualify for replacement under the recall. i don't understand how, if my module is bad and a ground wire is involved how the recall is not valid.

I had made an appointment with volkswagen dealership to have my car looked at because of the recall. my abs light came on and has been on for weeks. it hasn't turned off. when i took my car in they tried to perform a software update but weren't able to because apparently the module went out before the recall. i haven't had any problems with this until just a few weeks ago so i don't understand how that is possible. now they are saying its technically my fault and now im stuck paying 1200 on an abs module and maintenance. my abs light came on went i went around a corner and slammed on my breaks, ever since then it wont turn off.

Abs, brake, seat belt and washer lights came on and still on at all times
Abs module recall i have an incomplete recall that volkswagen is not trying to fix. they are saying that they are not getting a connection to be able to read the recall and that i would have to buy the new abs module so that they could do an update on the new module. when it clearly states in the recall that abs modules with an insufficient ground connection would be replaced. volkswagen has done nothing but say they can't get the code to show for them to perform the recall. i understand why volkswagen has the most complaints because even if it's something they are required to fix they will try to weasel their way out of remedying the situation.
The abs module failed. dealer said there was no recall for my car, but i see that there was in fact a recall of 2009jettas for this exact issue. my repair was 1413.48 on 9/11/18. the vehicle was fine, inspected 8/10/18, one month later my 16 year old was driving to school and the abs light came on, the brake light was flashing, and there was a constant beeping alarm while driving.
2009 vw jetta purchased in st. paul, mn, on april 11, 2018. mileage was 130,225. mileage is currently 131,600. the abs system failed on august 17, 2018 - multiple control panel lights were activated and still remain activated. there has been a recall on the abs control module software ' vw code 45f2. 'corrective action' portion of the recall notice: 'update the abs control module software with improved diagnostic capability to detect insufficient pcu ground connection. abs modules with insufficient ground connections will be replaced.' took the car to vw of inver grove heights. they said they installed the software upgrade but since the abs system had already failed they could do nothing more without me paying to have the abs module and pump replaced ' approximately $2,300. vw care's eric waldowski, who said he was the assistant to the ceo at vw, said this to me: 'in this circumstance i will not stand behind our product or our engineers. we will not replace the module since the car was not brought in for the software update prior to the failure of the abs system. we are not obligated to repair this abs system therefore we will not.' i did not own the car when the recall was sent out in march, 2017. according to the carfax i received, the car was taken to vw of inver grove heights for "service" july 18, 2017 - while the recall was available. i believe that vw of inver grove heights should have fixed the abs software according to the recall at that time. eric waldowski called me today and said that the "service" that was completed on july 18, 2017 was "body work" and it was sublet to another provider. thus, vw of inver grove heights was under no obligation to alert the owner to the recall and/or fix it at that time. my contention is that vw should honor the recall notice and replace the abs module at their cost for two reasons - failure of abs and was in shop.
My abs light came on and then my red brake light came on, a few days later my epc light came on. about a week after that that my speedometer stopped working and i noticed that the mileage had stopped counting. i took it to napleton's volkswagen service department in orlando and (short version) received a quote to do the work of over $1700 to fix the abs before they could even tell me if there was a problem with the abs as they could not upload the software for the recall..the problem was directly related to the abs module..which in my paperwork is described in the recall information. i have told them not to fix my car as i believe this is incorrect (most of the work they quoted i believe is incorrect) and will be taking it to a mechanic i trust. it also opens the door for fraud as if i allowed them to do the work and then "fix" the recall that would seem like they would be charging me and volkswagen for the work. they also are charging me for diagnostic on the abs but per their own words they haven't been able to do the diagnostic. my car actually runs fine, however without the speedometer and having the brake lights on it feels very unsafe. the problem started 2 weeks ago july 23, 2018 and i brought it to service dealer yesterday

I purchased this 2009 jetta vw used from my daughter. she was original owner and diligent about keeping the maintenance up to date. it had 115,000 miles when i purchased it and had to replace battery and rear brakes within 3 months although she had replaced rear brakes 6 months earlier. my complaint is the parking brake never seemed to hold and i would need to leave the car in gear when parking the car on a hill. the car had rolled back when i left the car parked at my work 6 months ago and it rolled back and hit the sidewalk curb. no damage at the time. today 8/28.17 i went to the store and parked the car outside the stores entrance door. the lot has a very slight slope but generally level. i pulled back on the hand brake which seemed secure. when i left the car i was gone for less than 3 min when i entered the store. i had forgotten my cellphone and returned to the car which was only 10 ft from door. it had rolled back about 50 ft and hit a tree in the parking lot.. the crash caused damage to my rear right right fender and quarter panel in the amount of over $2000. this crash was direct result of a faulty hand brake. it was only a miracle that no car or children were hit by the car. only a lone tree was damaged. i believe this is a defect of this model. my daughter confirmed that this had also occurred with her after setting the parking brake to his full stop position. i believe vw should take responsibility for the damages.
I got the 2009 vw jetta on 8/2017 at a used car lot i went on website vw schedule appointment for a oil change check vin # on recall by then it come up recall called the number website gave me
Participated in volkswagen recall involving the abs and esp warning lights and system failure. my vehicle passed the 'software' test in march of 2017, in may of 2017 i had replaced the brake pads, rotors and one caliper, approximately 2,000 miles later all of the abs, esp and brake warning lights can on. i took the car into the repair shop, they told me that they would not re-run the software update, the abs could fail and they would need to replace the abs module for a cost of $1,700. the error code i was given at the dealership is 16352 014, which indicates an electrical failure in the unit, my understanding is that this failure is part of the recall?
Abs module recall. i received the recall notice from vw. prior to scheduling a service appointment with dealer to fix the abs unit failed on the car. when the dealer tested it they said it falls outside of the very narrow parameters that vw defined to cover the abs module failure and i would need to pay $2,700 to replace the abs module. the service manager confidentially told me they are seeing a large number of sudden abs module failures and vw is not covering very many. they wrote the recall and test procedure to avoid having to cover the repair. i believe this is a blatant effort by vw to avoid the expense of another costly recall on the heels of the diesel debacle. i believe this abs scandal is a great candidate for another class action lawsuit against vw
