2009 Volkswagen GLI Electrical system Problems

“Abs module failed unexpectedly causing dash lights to come on and totally disabled the ABS system. It first started happening while driving, and ABS remained disabled until module was fixed and replaced independently. Vwoa would not cover failure of the part.”

“My 2009 GLI has the same problem the tiguans had in their fuse boxes that lead to them being recalled. The right side lights, main beam, rear light, turn singles do not work after starting the car.”

“Abs module failure causing car to randomly lock brakes during cornering/ABS activation events. This originally occurred when roads were slippery in winter 2014 (60k on vehicle), continues to grow worse to where it now happens during long slow corners (highway overpasses). Repair from dealership costs $2300 (10% of the price of new msrp), vwoa refuses to assist with repair even though this is a well documented safety issue that occurs on all 2009 vw golf/jetta variants. I have had 3 events with complete loss of traction, and uncounted partial loss events. …”

“Yet another ABS module failure. Clearly a design flaw on the part of vw. The entire dash cluster has malfunctioned. Loud beeps on startup. Abs light. Brake light, stability control light...all lit up like a christmas tree. Engine fault - workshop warning. Speedometer doesn't work! Fuel gauge wildly fluctuates. Low fuel warning stays lit even with a full tank. Trip computer does not work. Other electrical faults as well probably related to the speedometer malfunction. The car's electronics think it's not moving so all electronic functions tied into the speed of the car are compromised. …”
