ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Brake light switch failure. Had it fixed, but the problems seems to be not in the brake light switch itself, but the wiring or sockets to the switch. Used same switch, but soon as car is turned off and turned back on, switch tends to work only for a couple of days and ABS system shows up again with no brakes lights at all. Took to audi dealer in which they said that there has been many problems within this system. But to totally fix the problem would run anywhere from 700.00 to 1200 dollars on a 35.00 to 45.00 part. No brakes could lead to serious accidents not knowing that your brakes lights are actually out. Please please recall this issue on all audi's.
Faulty ABS module.
I have locked my brakes and had a near accident. My ABS and esp has stopped working on my 2003 audi a6. I was told the ABS control units are known to go bad, and will cost over a $1000 to fix. I cannot afford to fix. If this is a widespread problem, shouldn't audi be held accountable for any traffic accidents due to failure, and should there be a recall?
Brake lights have stopped working. Along with ABS, traction & stability control.
Abs control unit is faulty on my audi a6 2003. I believe it is subject to recall indicated by the $1800 repair and frequency of this complaint on the internet.
