2009 Volkswagen GLI Brakes Problems

“Every time I brake hard or go into a lets say down hill turn at moderate speed my ABS, traction control and brake lights light up the dash with 3 long beeps.

My electronic power steering was no functioning correctly. …”

“I own 2009 vw jetta that has recently developed what I feel is a major safety issue. While driving to work 11/12/14 my ABS activated while coming to a stop.

The brake system locked momentarily, sending the car into a slide. I was able to recover from the slide, however the traction and ABS were disabled. I pulled into the next available parking lot and restarted the car at which point the issue appeared to resolve. …”
