2009 Volkswagen GTI Electronic Stability Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1337574
Internal NHTSA #	10928704
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	GTI
Model Year	2009
File date	30/11/16
Component	ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Abs brakes and stability control failure, every time the abs or stability control is activated the systems immediately fail and dash lights all turn on with three loud chimes. Other times the failure happens during normal driving. Power cycling the vehicle resets everything but the failure will soon occur again. This is a well known problem with 2009 models and in my opinion is dangerous -- abs & stability control system are critical to safety during emergency braking. Some time ago i had to use the brakes to avoid an accident, my wheels all locked up and my vehicle began to skid sideways -- not what one would expect on a vehicle that comes with abs brakes. I just now learned i can file a complaint. This issue has been ongoing for over approximately 18 months. I regularly turn the ignition off/on while driving to power cycle and reset the abs module when it error fails - though i don't expect it to work when needed.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
