Consumer Description

IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A MONTH BEFORE BUYING MY PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2000 VW PASSAT THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MODULE FAILED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS ISSUE AS IT COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND ALL OTHERS WHO TRAVEL THE SAME ROUTES AS I DO. I HAVE HELD OFF COMPLAINING, BUT OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE SEEN AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF MEMBERS WITH THE EXACT ISSUE. OUR ONLINE COMMUNITY ONLY CONSTITUTES A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PASSAT OWNERS, YET WE HAVE HAD HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY MORE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT HAVEN'T KNOWN WHERE TO TURN. I PURCHASED THE PART ALONE FOR $1200 AND THEN HAD TO PAY ADDITIONAL LABOR COSTS. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE A SCAM ON THE PART OF VW. IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR. *TR
