I would call attention to pages 3 and page 4 of this recall 1.) Considering the events of 6/28 and page 3 of the recall under Chronology, Volkswagen appears to admit the problem, and with a thorough understanding of its own systems should openly acknowledge the ability of this system to cause dangerous drivability conditions. 2.) Page 4, Recall Schedule, Description of Recall, Indicates that VW has still to provide dealers and owners with notification of this issue. As an owner and knowledgeable professional in automotive service I can assure you as of 7/1/2021, nearly five years after VW acknowledged the issue in Dec. 2016 to the federal safety agency, and 11 years after addressing the concern in production with the 2010 models, we have not been notified.

Abs and brake lights are on, car shifts into neutral on it's own. Feels unsafe to drive, because of the neutral shift there is no power. I have had to pull over to the side of the road and restart the car.

The ABS brake indicator light is on and when I took it to a certified euro car mechanic he said that 8 codes showed up for this. He also said that there was a safety recall 45f2 on this. When I took my vehicle to the vw dealership in panama city, fl. They were extremely rude and said there was no recall for this vehicle. They would not tell me if or when the recall was complete, and if it was completed and the same thing is happening, then there is still a problem with the initial recall that was not fixed.

Dealer performed a free ABS software & module update recall service but didn't do a good job because the ABS warning light went on after I got the car back. Turns out they only updated the software and didn't replace the module so the ABS brakes don't work since the module can't support the new software. Dealer is now trying to charge me $2,000 to replace the module because the vw recall warranty only covers the bill if they were all done on the same day. I still don't have a working car back because of it. They keep referring me to an extended warranty that I don't qualify for instead of the problem at hand which is that they offered me a free recalls service and never got it done right. Please help me resolve this issue so I can get my working car back. They said they can't even undo the software update that caused this issue.

My 2009 eos is under recall for the ABS system malfunctioning. I was never informed about this. I replaced my brakes as one mechanic thought because the ABS brake light went on - that was needed. The ABS light still stayed on. Last week the ABS light and and engine light and brake light went on and my car lost power and control on a busy highway at night leaving me on the side of the rode in danger and had to call aaa. Vw will only replace ABS if a "certain code" shows up which they will not tell you about till you pay the 150.00 diagnostic fee- then tell you the vehicle that has been recalled is not going to be repaired free of charge. In fact- it will cost 2700.00 to replace the entire ABS system - which needs replacing- but only if it accepts the computer updating system. Which is broken because it is a faulty ABS. Vw admitted that it was because of a incorrect solder compound- which can cause cracking in the entire system which cause sufficient electrical power to flow. Yet- they will not pay for the ABS control module to be replaced???? Only thing they will fix is the computer updating system- which will not update if the unit is broken- which they caused because of a faulty unit. They will not repair the ABS unit which is broken because of the defect??? This caused my car to crash into a pole- and also I had to replace the ABS unit which costs 1400.00 - now I find out this was a recall after the fact. I went to forums and found at least 20 others wit the same issue and they are not covered??????? This is not okay and I work for abc and will make this a huge deal just like the other scandal they are barely recovering from- you guys need to do something. I could have died and they are doing nothing and not compensating on my recalled car. How can this happen.

Dsg transmission failure. Had ABS module recall done at dealer. Picked up vehicle, drove two blocks, car would not shift out of second gear. Went back to dealer, they scanned it, and it showed 36 prior faults with transmission. Prior to this it has never shown a code/check engine light prior to know. Is now out of warranty - vw says too bad for you.
