Consumer Description

VW PASSAT 1999 - FAILING ABS MODULE (ABS,OIL,BRAKE LIGHTS ON). INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWED HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. VW SHOULD AT LEAST FIX THIS FOR ORIGINAL OWNERS. MY LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. I WAS QUOTED $1400 TO REPAIR YET IT IS A BAD SOLDER JOINT ON THE ABS CIRCUIT BOARD. VW NEEDS TO REPLACE THE MODULE. SO MUSH FOR VW SAFETY. *TR
