| Description of the problem | The abs pump module fails on 2009 cars regularly. The abs, stability control and traction control no longer functions and volkswagen refuses to do anything about it. Took my car to the dealer when it was under warranty for them to look at and all they could say was is that they could not duplicate the problem. Now it is out of warranty and the issue is constant to the point where i do not drive the car due to the speedometer and steering being affected by this issue. The car was on the highway and when the brakes were hard pressed the car skidded. |
