Abs sensor error- had to replace sensor on two occasions within two years. Each one costing over $200. On second replace, the sensor directly from vw was defective. Warning light comes on, goes off, comes on, etc. Comes on when moving and sometimes when sitting still. Mechanic told me this is a very common error. I don't want a car that is not fully dependable. After the tdi issue and 10 mpg less with the fix, i am…

The abs system went out of control, all of the sudden the lights on the dashboard where on. The car was in motion when this happened it was a scary situation! There is a local volkswagen near my house and this people suggest me to change the entire abs pump, vacuum pump and they got the nerve to charge me for the car revision when they knew this car is on recall.

While driving, the car inadvertently disengages the dsg transmission resulting in no power transfer to the wheels. The car also displays an "esp error" (electronic stability program) in conjunction with the transmission problem. Once the car is shifted into park and turned off, and then back on, the problem is resolved temporarily. It happens without warning and poses danger for the driver and occupants. This…
