| Description of the problem | Yet another abs module failure. Clearly a design flaw on the part of vw. The entire dash cluster has malfunctioned. Loud beeps on startup. Abs light. Brake light, stability control light... All lit up like a christmas tree. Engine fault - workshop warning. Speedometer doesn't work! Fuel gauge wildly fluctuates. Low fuel warning stays lit even with a full tank. Trip computer does not work. Other electrical faults as well probably related to the speedometer malfunction. The car's electronics think it's not moving so all electronic functions tied into the speed of the car are compromised. Trunk release mechanism stopped working. I'm looking at a $2000 repair on a car with only 50,000 miles!! Vw needs to own up to this manufacturing defect and provide a fix to its customers. |
