Description of the problem	I own a 1998 volkswagen passat gls 1. 8t, and i have had the abs control module fail. I was driving the car and my abs and brake lights turned on and started to blink. This would happen everytime i would start my car. I had diagnostics run on the car, and found that the control module could not communicate with the cars ecu. I had my local volkswagen dealer replace the abs module. This cost me $850 for the control module, $360 for labor, then tax. I had to pay $1270 for everything to be fixed. I find that this is a common problem with volkswagen passats, and i do not think that the owners should pay for something like this if it is a recurring problem.
