Consumer Description

MY 1999 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (V6, GLX MODEL) HAS A FAULTY ABS CONTROL MODULE. AT AROUND 103,000 MILES, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING ON MY CAR AND BEGAN FLASHING A BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH NUMEROUS OTHER VW PASSAT OWNERS WHO TELL ME THIS SAME INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND AMONG 1998-2001 PASSATS, AND SINCE THE ABS SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS, IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
