ABS, ESC indicator lights came on driving at highway speed, and with brake indicator flashing and audible sound. Diagnosed at capistrano VW as failure of ABS control module. Repair declined due to $2,500 cost, but the circumstances indicate this should be covered in safety recall 45F2, NHTSA campaign 16V913 (although VIN not indicated as part of recall according to NHTSA records). Will follow up with dealership. NHTSA should note other similar complaints to cause manufacturer to expand number of affected vehicles. VW's response appears to be inadequate so far.

Vehicle has 100,088 miles on it. On 5/11/2019 the ABS module went bad. Under NHTSA campaign recall number 16V913000 the ABS module should be replaced. Volkswagon on 5/14/19 ran my VIN # and said no recall applied. They refused to replace the module despite the applicability of your recall campaign number. The vehicle is now in a mechanic's garage and is inoperable as computer code 01130 applies. The ABS warning light and flashing brake light appeared while I was in my driveway and had just started up the car.

VW refusing to complete ABS module recall because ABS module already has fault codes stored. The point of the recall is to repair or replace the faulty ABS modules, but in our case, since the module already contains fault codes, the dealership and VW corporate are refusing to perform the safety recall

My brakes frequently squeak. Something with the ignition also seems to not be working right when I try turning on my car, it won't start the first time(s) or starting is delayed.

Took vehicle for ABS system module recall service. Dealer said ABS pump also broken, but was not covered repair under recall. Would cost additional $2320 to fix. As a result, vehicle ABS system still not functional. Unsafe.

Re: NHTSA campaign number: 16V913000 I am filing this complaint in the hope the NHTSA can verify that what VW has indicated is truthful and how a consumer can determine when the recall - NHTSA campaign number: 16V913000 - is applicable vs. Not applicable independent of VW. I contacted VW regarding NHTSA campaign number: 16V913000 ABS / electronic stability control and dealer performed software update and test drove vehicle. Dealer and VW customer service both state the recall replacement module is not applicable. Their reason is regardless of the module being faulty with error code 01130 (indicative of 'brake electronics control module' (J104) faulty ' internet search - VW 01130 code), it does not fail 'the new diagnostic test' because of 'field value 124' reading vs. 'field value 125'. the NHTSA website states: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the ABS control module software to improve the module's self-testing abilities. Any module that fails the new diagnostic test will be replaced. These repairs will be made free of charge. I do not understand or agree how both VW and the dealer state the module is faulty (and dealer indicated the module needs to be replaced'), yet also indicate the module pass the new diagnostic test. I.e. if it is a 'faulty' module how could it also pass the diagnostic test? unfortunately, VW lost my trust with the 'dieselgate' issue and my vehicle is impacted by this scandal and I am unable to verify VW is being truthful and, it seems to me, a faulty module should not pass any diagnostic test. What is in writing on the NHTSA website and the VW website (and what I have been told) regarding this recall notice seem to have different meanings or understandings. Sincerely and enclosed is scan of dealer's service paper work with personal identification areas blacked out to preserve identities.
