NHTSA Complaint #10956202 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN GTI

HELLO, I RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT THE RECALL THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAS FOR 2009-2010 GTI'S. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE ABS CONTROL MODULE THAT CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN TO OUR CARS. WHAT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND IS HOW MY FRIEND GOT A RECALL KETTER AND I DID NOT (WE HAVE THE SAME EXACT CARS).. MY ABS MODULE WENT OUT LAST YEAR AND I REMEMBER DRIVING ON THE ROADS EVERY DAY WITHOUT TRACTION, ESC CONTROL, PRETTY MUCH MY WHOLE DASH WAS LIGHTENED UP.. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HAD TO PAY 1600 DOLLARS OUT MY TUITION FUND JUST TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT IS NOW A RECALL A YEAR LATER! I AM WONDERING IF VW FIGURED THAT MY CAR WAS GOOD AND THOUGHT I WOULDNT NEED A RECALL LETTER. BUT GUESS WHAT, IF MY FRIEND IS GETTING HIS GTI ABS MODULE REPAIRED FOR FREE BY VOLKSWAGEN, I THINK ITS ONLY FAIR FOR ME TO GET MY MONEY BACK THAT I SPENT FOR THIS PROBLEM.. I HAVE THE RECIEPTS AND I AM PRETTY SURE IT IS IN THE VOLKSWAGEN DATABASE!
