ABS /brake light started coming on at about 112,000 miles. First the problem was intermittent, but now it is constant. The ABS pump seems to function properly. The problem is with the electronic component known as the ebcm. I realize the government doesn't consider this a safety issue, otherwise VW would have been pressured to issue a recall. However, the state of NJ will not allow you to pass inspection with the lights on because they consider it a safety issue, even though in reality it's just like driving in the pre-ABS days. So, the consumer is forced to pay $1500-$2000 to get this problem fixed. Of course VW and Bosch, who made the faulty component, get off the hook and in fact profit this extremely common failure. Who is looking out for the consumer? please help!

Owner of a 2000 Passat 1.8T. Ike hundreds of other people I have a problem on the board appears the message: Stop/break fault/service manual.. ABS and break lights flashed on. Have spent so much money when I go to the dealer and they suggest to replace some parts but at the end the issue stays and not even the dealer can give me explanations or hints of how to fix the problem. I believe there is a problem with the ABS module which costs around $1500 this problem is so common that VW should make this a recall.
