2009 Volkswagen Rabbit problems

“I am making a complaint against volkswagen for refusing to perform the abs safety recall. The ABS module is dead, I found out the hard way that I have no ABS or traction control. I stopped on the highway and lost control, I could have died and the van that hit me twice could did worse. The dealer refuses to perform the recall and is completely unhelpful. Yes there were warning lights and thats why I took it to the dealer. P.S. This happened a day before the accident. Two different VW dealers refused to perform the ABS module recall on my car even though Volkwagen customer care called to make my appointment, the car was too old, the repair was to expensive and also that the module wasnt communicating. It specifically says it in the recall, that if the module is not responding to replace it. The next day when I driving the car on the highway, I stepped on the brakes and the car started spinning on the highway, It spun into another lane and hit another car. I realized that the car did exactly what a car with no ABS would do.”

“WHEN DRIVING, MY 09 RABBIT, THE POWER STARING LIGHT WILL FLASH YELLOW TO RED AND THEN STAY RED, I'M JERKED TO THE SIDE, RIGHT AND LEFT . ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN, IT FEELS AS THOUGH I'M BEING SHOT FORWARD, I HAVE A TERRIBLE WOBBLE AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS I CANNOT ACCELERATE OVER 45 WITHOUT THE CAR SOUNDING LIKE A HELICOPTER, MY AC AND ABS LIGHT WILL FLASH ON THEN OFF SPORADICALLY. MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS PERIODICALLY AND THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. I HAVE BEEN TO FOUR MECHANICS, I'VE HAD THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE REPLACED, TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, A NEW BATTERY AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. LUCKILY THE LAST MECHANIC I TOOK THE CAR TO HOOKED IT UP TO HIS MACHINE AND GOT CODES FOR THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MALFUNCTION AND ABS MODULE MALFUNCTION. I HAVE CHECKED THE RECALL SITE AND BOTH MODULES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED”
