NHTSA Complaint #10762581 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN A LOUD BEEPING AND THE RED ABS FAILURE + EVERY LIGHT ON DASHBOARD LIT UP. EVERY GAUGE STOPPED WORKING (THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, ETC) I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND CAREFULLY PROCEEDED TO THE HOUSE. AFTER A HALF MILE THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE DIED. BECAUSE I WAS PREPARED FOR AN EVENT, I IMMEDIATELY SET HAZARDS AND ROLLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND MADE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME (2 BLOCKS) WITHOUT IT STALLING AGAIN. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE, I TOOK IT THE VW DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE ABS MODULE FAILED / BROKE AND CAUSED THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING THE DEFECT WHICH CAN CAUSE AN IMMEDIATE HARMFUL AFFECT. IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY OR BEING CAREFUL FAR BEYOND ANY NORMAL SENSE I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT.
