Description of the problem	About 4 years ago, i was driving on the freeway, heading home from work. The cars ahead had hit their brakes, so i began to hit my brakes and immediately felt them lock up and my car began fishtailing. It then spun around 180 degrees, inches away from hitting a truck behind me head-on. After this point, i was always weary of hitting my brakes in an emergency situation because i never felt i had control of the car. It wasn't until i researched the abs issues with vw did i realize this could have been directly related to the faulty piece. In july of 2017, the abs and brake lights came on while we were leaving a parking lot, and stayed on. These lights were accompanied by the check engine, epc, air bag, gas and steering system lights, and the speedometer also stopped working. The car also began to handle strangely, and wouldn't rev higher than 4000 rpms. After researching what could be causing this, we came across many abs module failures that sounded exactly like what we had happening. We then came across the vw abs module recall from 5 months before, and after calling vw to verify we indeed were part of the recall, they told us to take the car to a dealer and they would take care of it. We made the appointment, and took the car in. The car was in their shop for 3 days before they let us know that we didn't fall under the recall requirements, and vw was in fact not going to fix anything with the abs module. Instead, they gave us a $1400 quote to fix the faulty module. We are now stuck paying nearly half of what the car is worth to make it safe to drive, even though there are many issues with their abs module, and they initially told us we qualified to get it fixed.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
