MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN A WINDY ROAD (GOING ABOUT 30, IN THE CITY) WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD. CAR STOPPED OK AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR STARTED TO MAKING A BEEPING SOUND. WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME WE CHECKED IT WITH A SCANNER, CLEARED THE CODES.

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.
