Description of the problem	5/31/18 took car in for the abs module recall. They did a "system update" less then six months later when driving all of a sudden every light on the dash started flashing and the car became difficult to steer and break so we immediately took it to the dealership. At first they said it needed the fans replaced so we paid $980. 88 to have that done. When driving the car home from the dealership all the lights started flashing again and so we took it back to the dealership and after two weeks at the dealership and "39 different communication codes" they said the abs module failed completely and needs replaced. I called cooperate vw for help but cooperate vw refuses to replace the module as part of the recall because " it doesn't show a certain code" and "it didn't fail at the time they did the system update". This is over a $2000. 00 fix and we are unable to afford it. I am left paying on a car i still owe $4000. 00 on that isn't safe to drive because i can't afford an additional $2000. 00 to fix a know problem that volkswagen won't fix. This is heartbreaking and beyond upsetting when the local dealership "agrees that cooperate should fix it but there is nothing he can do". He even said that this is "a major problem with a majority of the cars he has been working on". It's just not right!!!

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.
