2009 VOLKSWAGEN EOS Steering Problems

MY 2009 EOS IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS. I REPLACED MY BRAKES AS ONE MECHANIC THOUGHT BECAUSE THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON - THAT WAS NEEDED. THE ABS LIGHT STILL STAYED ON. LAST WEEK THE ABS LIGHT AND AND ENGINE LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR LOST POWER AND CONTROL ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT LEAVING ME ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE IN DANGER AND HAD TO CALL AAA. VW WILL ONLY REPLACE ABS IF A "CERTAIN CODE" SHOWS UP WHICH THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU ABOUT TILL YOU PAY THE 150.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE- THEN TELL YOU THE VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IS NOT GOING TO BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. IN FACT- IT WILL COST 2700.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ABS SYSTEM - WHICH NEEDS REPLACING- BUT ONLY IF IT ACCEPTS THE COMPUTER...
