Description of the problem	Abs light began blinking along with brake light on dash, took it in to volkswa gen to be diagnosed. They told me "the abs control module and pump failed. There is no signal between the control module & pump with the computer in the car. The module is supposed to send back a signal saying everything is fine or telling what the problem is, but in my case, there is no communication at all. The only thing that can be done is to replace the abs control module and that should 'most likely' solve the problem." and the estimate - $1885 - about $1500 for the part and about $300 for the labor - plus tax. Vwoa refused to assist with costs, even though i only have 67, 000 miles on the car, and this problem is rampant and there are tons of people in the same situation. Not sure what justifies a recall, but if there are a lot of people out there with the same problem, who have paid for a car with abs brakes, why shoudl we have to cough up that kind of money to replace something that is obviously faulty just to get our abs working again?*ak
