I am making a complaint against volkswagen for refusing to perform the abs safety recall. The ABS module is dead, I found out the hard way that I have no ABS or traction control. I stopped on the highway and lost control, I could have died and the van that hit me twice could did worse. The dealer refuses to perform the recall and is completely unhelpful. Yes there were warning lights and thats why I took it to the dealer. P.S. This happened a day before the accident. Two different VW dealer

I HAD OBSERVED TWICE THAT THE ABS AND BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS ILLUMINATED UNDER HEAVY BRAKING. I READ THE SERVICE MANUAL AND SEVERAL VW FORUMS AND MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THIS WAS NORMAL UNDER WHAT IS CALLED 'EMERGENCY BREAK'. I BOTH CASES TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN RESTORED THE CAR TO NORMAL. ON FEBRUARY 2013 THE ABS/ESC SYSTEM FAILED AND THE CAR CRASHED AGAINST A WALL WHILE BRAKING BEFORE A TURN. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE TWO PASSENGERS ON BOARD: BRIAN FOXE AND MYSELF. FORTUN

I BELIEVE THE FAULTY ABS WAS THE REASON I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON DEC 20, 2016 AND AGAIN ON MARCH 14, 2017. ON DEC 20, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN CHICAGO, AFTER RECENT SNOW, SO ROADS WERE A LITTLE WET. 2 OTHER CARS HIT EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF ME, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THEM TO STOP IN TIME IN MOST CORRECTLY FUNCTIONING CARS. WHEN I PUT BRAKES ON, I REALIZED I WASN'T SLOWING DOWN QUICK ENOUGH, AND ENDED UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME

WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN USING THE HEATED SEATS THE PASSENGER SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CABIN FILLED UP WITH THICK SMOKE AND WE COULD NOT BREATH. WE HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
