2007 Volkswagen Rabbit Brakes Problems

“Displaying ABS light, electronic stability light, emergency brake beeps then light remains on blinking, steering alignment light displays, changed out the rear ABS sensors and the right rear wheel hub, all lights remain on. Because my car was manufactured in 2007 it is not part of the recall for the ABS module (a known issue) so either I park the car permanently or cough up a ridiculous amount of money to fix a known issue. I have driven the car at lower speeds and several times was forced to rely on the e-brake because the brake pedal would not operate. …”

“I have a 2007 vw Rabbit, purchased august 13, 2007. Manufactured 05/2007 my brakes appeared to be squealing under light depression of the brake pedal during low speed braking situations. I brought my vehicle to the dealer nearest me. When alleged repair of my vehicle was completed the dealer informed me that remaining pad life averaged 80% for all four wheels. However upon completion of work vehicle squealed louder than when vehicle was dropped off for service. …”

“I leased a 07 Rabbit and after about 12k miles my rear brakes started making weird scratching sounds. And it eventually stopped but it came back two months later and I brought it to my dealership (donaldsons vw and subaru) and they told me that I let my brakes wear out.. Which when I took off the tire and checked there was still more then 50% pad left. I knew this because I had bought new ones and I was going to change it myself. So due to this they said I messed up my rotors were broken too. So I ended up being charged about a 500 dollars to be fixed. …”

“While driving and attempting to stop the brakes become very stiff and push up against your foot similar to what traction control does but the more you press on th brake peddle the harder it becomes to stop. This is intermittent but alarming enough that the car is not being used.”

“At random, the traction control ABS light on the dashboard cluster has gone off. The mechanic states that the issue is the ABS module, and that it needs replacing. There is no known reason for its failure, but the vehicle is now without ABS. A similar recall was issued for other vehicles with the same ABS module from later years, so I would expect that it should be perfectly reasonable to issue a recall for this serious and potentially life-threatening issue.”
