| I have a 1999 vw passat v6 with 94000 miles. around 92000, in the summer of 2005, my abs lights started flashing and has been flashing since. after research on the internet it turns out the abs module is defective and causing premature malfunction of the abs unit. there seems to be hundreds of cars affected by this and vw of america has yet to issue a recall for what is a safety issue. *jb | |||

| I own an old body style 99 jetta wolfsburg. the windows are all inoperable except for 1. i replaced on of the motors and the whole frame supporting the motor and that too became inoperable after some time. i have spoken with other jetta drivers with the same body style as mine, and they are having the same problems also. this is a safety hazard, and my vehicle will not pass inspection with inoperable windows. one of the windows that are inoperable is the drivers side window. there is not a specific incident date b/c there was not a collision. the windows just became inoperable. *jb | |||
