What owners wrote
The ABS light comes on steady, the hand brake light flashed constantly, and three warning beeps are heard. A computer reading says there is no connection with the ABS unit. The ABS doesn't work at all. It sometimes occurs when I first start the car, and sometimes after driving for a while. The consumer stated someone else was driving her vehicle and he/she rear ended another person. The consumer stated the ABS did not function as designed. Updated 12/16/10
Vehicle is a 2000 audi a6 with 2.7t engine.ileage: 52000.failure: dealer diagnosed abs/controller was bad and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1300.00. The problem causes intermittent ABS failure which will pulsate brakes occassionally in situations where braking would not require ABS activity (ie. Light braking to slow vehicle slightly on dry pavement). This could slow braking response and increase chances of an accident occuring.
