Description of the problem	Purchased this car brand new from the dealership. Because i lived in the d. C. Area, i didn't drive it much, so the car today has about 34k miles. A week ago, i was driving on the highway about 65 mph when the brake light and abs came on, along with the three warning dings. Took it to the vw dealership on austin, who diagnosed as abs brake module failure. I found a vw repair shop who would change out the module for $400 less, and i drove it home. Strangely, the lights are off. Based on everything we've found online, this is a serious safety issue for this car. First, the lights should not be shutting off as if the problem has disappeared. Second, a car with this few miles should not have the abs system failing. Vw needs to issue an immediate recall to replace all of these 2009 gti abs modules before someone is killed.
