2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen Brakes Problems

“Vehicle has 100,088 miles on it. On 5/11/2019 the ABS module went bad. Under NHTSA campaign recall number 16v913000 the ABS module should be replaced. Volkswagon on 5/14/19 ran my VIN # and said no recall applied. They refused to replace the module despite the applicability of your recall campaign number. The vehicle is now in a mechanic's garage and is inoperable as computer code 01130 applies. The ABS warning light and flashing brake light appeared while I was in my driveway and had just started up the car.”

“Re: NHTSA campaign number: 16v913000 I am filing this complaint in the hope the NHTSA can verify that what vw has indicated is truthful and how a consumer can determine when the recall - NHTSA campaign number: 16v913000 - is applicable vs. Not applicable independent of vw. I contacted vw regarding NHTSA campaign number: 16v913000 ABS / electronic stability control and dealer performed software update and test drove vehicle. Dealer and vw customer service both state the recall replacement module is not applicable. …”

“My brakes frequently squeak . Something with the ignition also seems to not be working right when I try turning on my car, it won't start the first time(s) or starting is delayed.”

“Vw refusing to complete ABS module recall because ABS module already has fault codes stored. The point of the recall is to repair or replace the faulty ABS modules, but in our case, since the module already contains fault codes, the dealership and vw corporate are refusing to perform the safety recall”

“Abs, ESC indicator lights came on driving at highway speed, and with brake indicator flashing and audible sound. Diagnosed at capistrano vw as failure of ABS control module. Repair declined due to $2,500 cost, but the circumstances indicate this should be covered in safety recall 45f2, NHTSA campaign 16v913 (although VIN not indicated as part of recall according to NHTSA records). Will follow up with dealership. Nhtsa should note other similar complaints to cause manufacturer to expand number of affected vehicles. Vw's response appears to be inadequate so far.”
