Vehicle was included in the ABS recall in 2017. Dealer didn't replace the module at the time, stating that the software was updated, which would detect the failure before it actually happened. Customer was told that if the ABS light came up, just returned for the replacement of the module for free because it was under warranty. When the said light came up after a few thousand miles, customer returned to the dealer. Dealer indicated that it was covered under the warranty and ordered the module for replacement. Customer was advised that it was safe to drive locally while waiting for a month for an appointment. Customer was informed that it was free multiple times until after the long wait for an appointment and hours of waiting during the actual service, when 'nothing has been done' because it was not free. Dealer explained that the error code in the vehicle was different from the ones on a piece of paper that they had for the recall replacement. Customer asked what the codes meant and what was the problem with the vehicle; dealer didn't know. However, dealer advised customer to have the module replaced at customer's cost.

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.

Car ABS systen danger. No mechanic can fix

- Dover, NJ, USA

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.

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.
