Description of the problem	When driving, my 09 rabbit, the power staring light will flash yellow to red and then stay red, i'm jerked to the side, right and left . On some occasions when making a right turn, it feels as though i'm being shot forward, i have a terrible wobble and when this happens i cannot accelerate over 45 without the car sounding like a helicopter, my ac and abs light will flash on then off sporadically. My transmission slips periodically and this happens regardless if i'm on the highway or city streets. I have been to four mechanics, i've had the right front axle replaced, tires rotated and balanced, a new battery and a front end alignment. Luckily the last mechanic i took the car to hooked it up to his machine and got codes for the electronic stability control malfunction and abs module malfunction. I have checked the recall site and both modules have been recalled for my make, model and year, however my vin is not included
