During this summer (2024), I got a warning with three beeps then warning lights came on, went off for a several months, and now have come on and stayed on (ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE, AIRBAG, Tire Pressure). This has to be an issue with VW. There was close to 63,000 miles on the car at the time. Now there's only 64,000 miles on the car. The dealer service center couldn't really determine the cause but still quoted a repair of nearly $4,000.

My 2014 VW as many other 2014 models are experiencing the following according to my local dealership in Miami: The ABS module is defective effecting other systems and making the car unsafe to drive as it was in 2009 and 2010 models. Dealer repair estimate is between $2500 with $5000! VW should recall before people get hurt!
When turning the car on with the clutch and brake depressed, the car will roll until the engine turns over and the car starts. The brake stops functioning as the ignition is turned and does not function until the car is on. The car will roll if on any incline while this happens. When this happens if I attempt to lift my foot off the brake and put it back to get it to work the brake pedal can no longer be depressed. Once the car is running the brake works and can be depressed again. This is a safety issue as it could cause a crash or car to roll into traffic. No lights or warning signs turn on when it happens. I'm not sure when this first happened but it has happened on multiple occasions.

If I drive with the car the brake-warning light, ABS light and airbag light turns on. It alarms. I brought it to dealer and they asked germany but they couldn't figure out what wrong is. I am afraid to drive with these lights. They reset the computer but it happens after 20 miles again.

When depressing the brake pedal, the pedal felt hard. The vehicle was driven to the local dealer (wallace volkswagen, 2805 se federal hwy, stuart, fl) where it was diagnosed that the brake camshaft lobe had sheared off, causing the brake vacuum pump to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 122,000.
