I received a letter stating there was a ABS Control module Software. My abs lights came on. I took it to Volkswagen to have them do the recall. They said it-??s the ABs control module and pump and it isn-??t part of the recall. So they didn-??t do any part of the recall, they just closed out the recall and she said it-??s a Volkswagen problem. This was the Volkswagen service department that said this. My daughter almost wrecked the day this happened because it was raining. She is 16.

ABS Module Assembly all packet, It turns that this kind of vehicles are controling the power Steering, anti skid braking system, brake lights, ABS, Skid lights come ON and the Steering also come ON it is scanned and remove the codes once and seemed to work for a day or two and down again, goes back to scan and now me and the mechanic test drive it together and found that the Main ABS modulator is not connecting and goes on and of the scanner where it carries a faulty communication among its components and causing all this disconfort" problem herein is that it is hard to tell when will it do it again or why is it failing? and causing all kind of problem with lgihts blinking all the time? but the biggest problem here is: that I am not the only one complaning about it, there is many people complaning about the problem! more that I expected, and seems like they do not know about making a report it is exact same problem! and reason they are not fixing it is: becasue it is to costly, It runs an apparent $2,000 dollars to get parts and labor" this is indeed a recall issue that must be absorbed by manufacturer.Please help us get it done I stopped the car since it acted with all this lights september is when I started to feel the disconfort but November when I had all set of lights come ON where as I mentioned, we clear the codes, "Mechanic" and runs for few days and back again.

This vehicle was purchased 11/2016 from a dealer/mechanic. He bought it at auction, reconstructed it and got the approvals to return it to full operation from the Massachusetts DOT. The title showed 'reconstructed' and 'prior collision'. Volkswagen notified us of Safety Recal 45F2 in 2017 - ABS control module - and we had the recall performed at Colonial VW in Westborough Mass in 2017. There is an extended warranty VWP-17-03 on vehicles repaired by Safety Recall 45F2. The car's ABS light illuminated and the dealership ran a diagnostic which ran code 16352 - control module faulty static. VW is telling the dealership that they will not honor the warranty because the car is a total loss. It is NOT a total loss, it has not been in an accident since it was reconstructed before we purchased it six years ago. I called VW and they said they won't cover it because it's a mechanical issue not a software issue but that's also not true. I see technical bulletin's online that say if Fault Code 01130 and or 16352 appear that warranty should apply, but they are not honoring their own warranty

I was driving my car down at residential area and it came to a complete stop on its own I could not get it to accelerate it all I had to get out of my car pop the hood disconnect the battery and then I was able to put in a drive and accelerate all the lights are flashing on the control panel I had no control over my car whatsoever I took it into Tracy Volkswagen and they said they couldn't diagnose it because it wasn't connecting to my computer in my car. Tracy said the control module for the ABS didn't work and they couldn't replace it for me until the headquarters approved it or something about the recall didn't include the control module I can't afford to fix this it's all ABS connected that's what the safety call is for safety.

A recall was issued for the ABS software upgrade which my car was updated in 2017. That is within the 10 year timeframe. Since then, my abs light has went on and off. We kept resetting as advised by Sisk Automotive in Hopkinsville, Ky (not a VW dealer). Wyatt Johnson in Clarksville, Tn completed the recall in 2017. In Feb 2022, the abs has failed creating ECP fault and almost every light on the dash is now on. I believe the abs should have been replaced in 2017 and the dealer just put a quick fix to say the recall was complete. I need help fixing my unsafe car that VW failed to fix in the original recall.

Abs light on(yellow) with flashing break light (red) code 16352

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

A recall for ABS module for my car was issued, the dealer performed a software update but the unit has since failed in wet conditions and is unsafe and needs to be replaced but my understanding is that the software update fulfills there obligation to the recall. I do not think the software is sufficient as it has still failed

As I was coming to an immediate stop, due to a deer jumping out in front of me, the car/ brake pedal shuddered and I had to perform an emergency braking procedure by swerving onto the shoulder of the road. Thankfully no one was injured, including the deer, however, my nerves were frayed, as had this been in the snow or any other adverse conditions, what would have been the outcome then? Immediately after this happened the ABS light and flashing brake light appeared on the dash. I have used a scan tool to diagnose the issue to which the code #01130 (ABS Operation Implausible Signal). Through research online- forums it has come to my attention that this is a very common VW issue to the point that the NHTSA has requested/ mandated that a recall should be issued- www.automotive-fleet.com (January 7, 2017). When I went to the VW recall site and plugged in my VIN no recalls were listed?? I will be taking my car to the dealer tomorrow, as I am a one car household and need my '09 Sportwagen for daily transportation to and from work, I am hoping that they will honor the replacement of this faulty safety device.

Update to recently filed incident report over brake system warnings in VW Jetta: VW Service has now replaced ABS module at cost to me of Approx. $2200. The car had been subject to a recall in 2017 for "45F2 - ABS Control Module Software" and update was performed in April 2017 at no cost. But the recent trouble was also ABS-related:. VW of Kingston service stated: "16352 Fault for ABS Control Module faulty - Not related to recall that was done in 2017." I wish to challenge the conclusion that the 2 ABS incidents were unrelated. Additionally, a 2012 incident should be considered in which the vehicle's engine suddenly stopped on highway and could not be restarted. VW said problem was "Car will not start. Cause: No comm to TCM, ECM, Brake Control Unit, J500, J234. Convenience System, and TPMS System. 97105550 Vehicle Elect system ECM replace... Remove reinstall." I submit that the 3 incidents in 2014, 2017 and 2021 involving in some way the brake control units are related and should all have been subject to warranty as safety defects.

My car was operating fine, then one day when starting it on my lunch break I heard three loud pitched beeps. Upon starting the car my ABS and traction control lights were steadily on while the brake light was flashing. Clearing the codes, then driving about 15 mph the codes would show back up. Scanned it with a vcds scanner, and it shows 16352- control module- electrical error

Vehicle had faulty ABS brake module, after replacing module, the error still exists. Brakes are not working correctly. Wheels lock up and the vehicle cannot be stopped quickly. ABS, brake, and traction control light are flashing. Before the ABS module was replaced, the speedometer and power steering would stop working. After replacement, they work but the ABS system still malfunctions.

Shortly after the emissions recalls where done in 2019 at aprox 184,000. At approx 186,000 miles the ABS control module went out. The vehicle has 190,000 miles and I have called my local VW dealer and they say no recalls for this. There has been over 136,000 vehicles affected, so why isnt mine under a recall? I had just purchased the vehilce.

I just replace the ABS moduler just about 6 month ago and several thousands of dollars. I see that my break lights is red and saying I need to redo my brakes. I have looked and they tell me there no recalls. I am wondering if the ABS moduler have something to do wirh the brakes. I did read there a recall on the wiring harness and it affect your brakes and its very dangerous. I am concerned if someone could get back to me on this. It be very appreciated. Thank you.
