The car is a 1998 VW Passat 1.8. the car has 61,000 miles. ABS/ brake light including the warning chimes turns on intermittently. The alarm turns off after a few minutes and then goes again. My mechanic tested and confirmed that the ABS control module is faulty. Repair cost is estimated at $1,800. No other car I have owned with ABS has ever had this kind of failure.
