Displaying ABS light, electronic stability light, emergency brake beeps then light remains on blinking, steering alignment light displays, changed out the rear ABS sensors and the right rear wheel hub, all lights remain on. Because my car was manufactured in 2007 it is not part of the recall for the ABS module (a known issue) so either I park the car permanently or cough up a ridiculous amount of money to fix a known issue. I have driven the car at lower speeds and several times was forced to rely on the E-brake because the brake pedal would not operate. It is seriously dangerous to have on the road due to an issue that Volkswagen been aware of for a long period of time.

In December of 2014 while travelling at a high rate of speed. The clutch master cylinder completely failed. Leaving no way to engage or use it at all. Took it to the shop where it was 600 bucks for a new one the plastic pin inside had completely broke in half. In may of 2015 the transmission would not shift into gear while at a high rate of speed, it goes in and out and the mechanic said there is something broke inside a sealed transmission, making it very unsafe to drive. It is scary when it goes from working to not working in a split second.I have owned this vehicle since it was new.
