| Description of the problem | I researched my vin when i purchased the vehicle and found an incomplete safety recall on the abs module. That recall number is 16v913. Before i could take the vehicle to the scheduled appointment the abs module failed. The volkswagen dealer in tacoma, washington charged me a diagnostic fee because the module failed communication, in which they found the module did indeed fail, but they would not replace it because they claim it wasn't covered under the warranty or the recall. They submitted a secondary claim to vw of america to try to have them approve the claim which was also denied. I am reaching out to hopefully get help with getting my vehicle fixed and once again safe to drive. Attached will be a copy of the invoice from the dealer and their findings. |
