| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The traction control on my vehicle initially did not turn on even after pressing the button that turns the esc on and off. After not being able to activate it, my abs, break light, esc, and steering wheel lights have come on. Now my vehicle looses traction if i make a fast turn. My steering has also become really stiff. When the vehicle is stationary, the fuel meter goes down despite the fact that the car has fuel. Lastly, the speedometer goes up and down while being stationed. This same problem regarding the abs control module has effected hundreds of 2009 volkswagen owners and despite the documented evidence, volkswagen has refused to cover this under a recall. |
