problem #1

Aug 042005

Beetle 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 41,000 miles
ABS and brake warning light started flashing a beeping while car still had more than 50% of original brakes left. No act or event seems to have precipitated the problem. Dealer service department believes that the ABS pump is malfunctioning. Regular application of brakes is unaffected. Unknown whether application of ABS system would cause brake failure.
