No warning lights illuminated. Periodically the braking pressure was released and a pedal pulse was felt while stopping. The dealer stated that the problem to the ABS pump leaked into the ABS module. The consumer's daughter was unable to stop in a parking lot as a result of the brakes releasing causing her to hit another vehicle. The person in the other vehicle sought medical treatment.
2000 volkswagen jetta 1.8t. The check engine light on my VW jetta keeps malfunctioning and lights up again and again. I have taken this to the dealer 3 times in the last 3 months and they say they fixed it, but it keeps coming back. Over the lifetime of this car (I have had this car for 8 years), I have had this check-engine light malfunction over 10-15 times.
