NHTSA Complaint #10990493 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

TAKATA RECALL. IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A SERIES OF 3 BEEPS. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MORE LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY DASH BOARD LOOKED LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE EX. AIRBAG, OIL, CHECK ENGINE, ABS, EPC, BRAKE LIGHT, ETC. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY MY GAUGES WILL SHUT OFF AND I CAN NOT SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING, MY CAR WILL DECELERATE WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS AT RANDOM TIMES ON THE HIGH WAY. I LOOK MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR TO CARS AUTO IN LAS VEGAS BECAUSE MY CAR COULD NOT PASS SMOG. THEY DID AN ANALYSIS AND INFORMED ME THAT MY ABS MODULE WAS SHOT AND THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE DEVICE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND THOUGHT WITH MY SAFETY IN CONCERN THAT THIS WOULD BE A SIMPLE FIX. INSTEAD, THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND COME BACK ANOTHER DAY BUT I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY CAR OFF THE LOT. THEY TOOK MY CAR TO THE BACK AND SAID THAT MY ABS MODULE WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMPUTER AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $700 TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BEFORE THEY WOULD REPLACE MY ABS. IF THE ABS IS FAULTY AS EXPLAINED IN RECALL #16V913 UNDER VW ACTION 45F2 IF THE ABS FAILS TO PASS THE TEST THEN IT WILL BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THEY SEEM TO NOT BE COMPLYING AND GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND.
