Description of the problem	I was driving on the freeway when i had to make a sudden stop. My brakes locked up and my abs, brake, and esc lights came on. I tried to regain control but ended up spinning out on the freeway and hitting the guard rail. Had to fix taillight and bumper is scratched. This problem is extremely dangerous because when i was braking i was braking under the impression that my abs system was working correctly and i did not pump the brakes. I was only notified that my abs, esc, and brake were having issues after i was in the panic brake and it was too late to react and start pumping the brakes. The abs, esc, and brake lights turn off after the car is restarted but the problem is still there. I have tried braking hard on wet pavement afterwards to test the issue and the abs, esc, and brake lights turn on again when the abs is supposed to engage. I restart the car and there is no warning that the abs system is having trouble. I began searching for the issue recently and found on a couple forums that many people have been having the same issue. I believe the issue is with the abs control module. This is extremely dangerous and volkswagen needs to recall asap.
