Description of the problem	About a month after buying the car during one of the larger snow storms this year in va. I was on my way to work and was stopping at a stop light when i get "christmas lights," on my dash, beeping three times and flashing ecs, as well as abs. I drove to work without huge incident knowing my abs and ecs were turned off at this point, and parked to see if turning the car on and off would reset the lights. I didn't worry until the next morning when on my home after a 12 hour night shift when it happened again, this time i was moving and trying to slow down on ice after the night of snow, as soon as i hit the brake the dashboard lit up again, causing me to slide into a curb, almost hitting another car. I then did some research and found it to be a faulty or bad abs control module, i then took my car into vw a few weeks later to get serviced for the issue, and they could not reproduce the problem. I have since shipped the car to spain while i am here for a couple years and have reproduced the problem without ice, snow, or even water, twice in a week period. Now since my car is not covered under a certified pre owned warranty while in spain i will have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed, something that is obviously a safety issue! Here is a link to others who've had the same problem: http://www. Golfmkv. Com/forums/showthread. Php? T=151505 as you can see, it is s problem that has been fixed with a new part. Making this a pretty good reason to be recalled.
