File date	17/10/16
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The abs module in my vehicle failed around 90,000 miles, which i'm now discovering is a very common for this particular model and year. The abs system ceased to function but other systems were affected as well; my speedometer would stop working for several minutes at a time, as well as my fuel gauge. Power steering would cut out and i would experience a considerable loss of power from the engine. I was nearly hit while crossing a busy intersection because i couldn't get any acceleration from the car. The check engine light has also been triggered intermittently by this problem so i haven't been able to pass a smog check, making my vehicle illegal to drive in the state of california where i'm stationed with the marines. Volkswagen dealerships are charging more than $1,500 to fix the issue and there has been no recall issued for the problem.
