NHTSA Complaint #10839759 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

HERE'S A VIDEO I MADE THAT SHOWS THE EFFECTS: HTTP://YOUTU.BE/UBG3NMSA75M I'LL JUST BE DRIVING ALONG AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL START BEEPING AND THE POWER STEERING WILL QUIT WORKING AND EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL DROP TO ZERO NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M DRIVING AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL POP OUT OF GEAR WHILE I'M DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. IT STARTED OUT INTERMITTENTLY IN 2014 AND THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY AND THE ISSUE COULD BE IDENTIFIED IN LATE 2015. SO NOW 2 DIFFERENT VW DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE IS A FAULTY ABS MODULE. IT'S CRAZY THAT AN ABS MODULE CAN SHUT DOWN SO MANY DIFFERENT SYSTEMS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IF YOU LOOK AROUND ONLINE YOU'LL FIND IT AFFECTS SEVERAL DIFFERENT VW MODELS, AT LEAST THE JETTA AND THE GOLF, MAYBE OTHERS. MY WIFE AND I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GET IN A WRECK WHEN THE CAR JUST POPS OUT OF GEAR FOR NO REASON. BUT I BET OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT BY THESE FAULTY ABS MODULES AND ALL THE DANGEROUS EFFECTS THEY HAVE ON THE CAR.
