Description of the problem	Brake rotors warp very quickly on this vehicle (which is also made by chrysler). During heavy braking at 40mph the steering wheel vibrates very heavily due to warped brake rotors (happens under 12000miles). Don't see how antilock sensors can withstand this vibration and get an accurate reading to keep the vehicle from locking the wheels. I have already had incidents where applying the brakes at 40mph hour that i have skidded but was smart enough to let off once i realized the abs was not functioning correctly and re-applied the brakes. Vw and dealer acknowledge the problem and replace the rotors with the same defective rotors on the vehicle. This is an engineering problem and not a wear and tear issue as they claim. It will only be a matter of time before someone gets killed in a bad accident thinking that abs brakes and there braking system is reliable. High speed braking is not something you do everyday but in an emergency and that's when you realize that your brakes are warped and in need of repair!!! But it might be too late!!!
