This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The ABS light came on my 1995 Passat. The dealer diagnosis indicated I needed a new ABS hydraulic unit at a cost of $1,768. I consider this an outrageous amount for such an important safety item. I contacted vwofa corporate and they told me there was nothing they could do because the car was out of warranty.
Control module has intermitent shorts - ABS system cannot be relied upon to work - manufacturer states it is not a safety issue - ABS systems are proven safety devices and this situation encourages a "russian roulete" situation because of the randomness of the short and the extreme expense to fix $1,500. Dealer stated that they are seeing problems with the unit alot - can VW be asked to report the number of problems they have had with this part/system?
