| Description of the problem | Abs module and pump is faulty, which seems to be the case with many other volkswagen gti specific to the 2009 year. This causes the abs and traction control to not work, along with loss of power steering, no or faulty reading on speedometer and gas gauge at any speed in both city and highway driving. Cornering is very difficult as the power steering is turned off. Incredibly dangerous and should be addressed and fixed by vw of america. |
