Description of the problem	I was driving on the canyon and went into a turn at 40mph. I heard a beep and my abs, brake and traction control lights all went on at once. The lights stayed on but the parking brake light flashed. The car felt weird while driving and i was afraid to keep driving so i pulled over and turned the car off. After checking the codes through my vagcom cable i had a 01130 - abs operation code. The lights went away after i turned the car off and on but this same issue kept happening throughout the canyon until i arrived at my destination. I stopped pulling over and just drove with the lights carefully all the way home. The abs seems to be turned off as this malfunction occurs. This is dangerous especially on wet roads and on canyons. I tried contacting vw of america and they said they do not cover this problem. They wanted $2000+ for the replacement of the abs control module. I think this is not fair and should be a recall. This issue is known for all 2009 vw gti's. Many 2009 gti's have faulty abs units. I hope this will be looked into and hopefully vwoa will start a recall campaign. Thank you for reading.
