Description of the problem	The bosch abs brake pump has failed. This causes the brakes to lose abs and traction control capability in the event of hard braking event. This issue re-sets with every ignition cycle and suddenly re-appears during the braking event. This has happened to me three times, 1st time was complete surprised and spun 360 degrees in the road, luckily no one was around. Vw diagnosed issue, $2500, refused to pay or acknowledge this is an issue, despite many complaints. In the past two months, i have slid across two lanes of traffic over a curb thru a business front yard, luckily no damage to me or vehicle. Next i slid again, when the brakes failed and hit a curb, $1500 damage to my car. Vw again has refused to pay for the brake pump failure. There are many complaints on gti blogs, vw cares twitter account. In some cases vw has paid for have consumer vehicle fixed, but in my case they denied twice. Once before and once after i had an accident. My vw case manager said my claim was denied, no real reason. I live in michigan, so our winters are long and snow filled, i fear everytime i get on the road in could be my last. I won't let my family drive this car. I don't want me or some else to die because of this issue. During the event, the brakes completely lock up, leaving the driver with no control in what must be an situation if you were braking hard to begin with. I find this issue to much much worse than their diesel rigging scheme. This failure will actually kill people. Vw has also had bosch improve or fix this issue on later gti models. I can't understand why an issue like this is not recalled. One lost life is too many.
