| Description of the problem | During any emergency braking situation, my car will lock all four tires and the traction control, abs, and emergency brake (flashing) lights will turn on. The lights remain on until the car is turned off and on. This is very dangerous fault that appears to be very common on the 2009 gti. This issue is very easy to reproduce by braking hard from any speed greater than 35 mph. I have been told it is the abs control module, which is in line with all of the other complaints about the abs system. Vwoa should recall the abs control module on the 2009 gti. *js |
