NHTSA complaint #11286653, filed 2019-12, 147,000 miles“Abs control module problem/failure we saw a recall for 2009 models with this issue! Our vehicle is a 2010 jetta sportwagon with less than 80k miles on it which we purchase din december of 2009 with a 7 year/100k mile extended warranty. We were always really happy with the car until we got the notice that this was one of the cars with the emissions cheats in it. As we had such little mileage on the car we elected (after much contemplation mind you) to have the car fixed and took the $5k in restitution they offered. …”
NHTSA complaint #11114933, filed 2018-07“ABS module in 2010 VW Jetta wagon malfunctioned. Warning lights in dash were lit for ABS, Brake, and airbag on 5/18/24. Towed to local auto shop by AAA on 5/20/24. Verified by local auto shop as faulty ABS module on 5/21/24. Prior year VW Jetta wagon (2009) already has recall for this issue. Car is not safe to drive due to brake issue and will not pass state inspection. This VIN / make / model of VW should be added to existing VW ABS recall. I have not towed vehicle back to house and do not have the auto shop report yet.”
