ABS warning lights intermittently for many months- go on and off along with airbag warning frequently- several mechanics could not diagnose. Recently brake warning lights came on at same time as ABS and airbag warnings. Brake system checked out fine. On replacement of wheel speed ABS sensor, discovered central ABS control module error (dtc 01130). VW had already issued a safety recall ( 45F2) for the ABS sensor in several 2009 and 2010 jetta/Golf, but in a limited VIN range. They refuse to acknowledge the problem in this 2010 gold is the fault of the faulty ABS control module found in other 2010 Golf cars and refuse to honor recall or to log problem.
