Took vehicle in for abs recall and was told volkswagen denied the recall because the abs module was bad. It is bad to begin with. Volkswagen has came up with a scam to please nhtsa but not satisfy customers. Quoted $1532.62 for a new one that should be replaced by volkswagen because it's already faulty.
