I still trust german technology, also i am working in automobile field for past 37 years now working as a vice president - operation. According to my knowledge abs unite will not failure just like that and it is not a moving parts..
I send many mails to your german customer care and indian partner customer care... Finely they agree to do replace this abs unite under 30% discount price. As a loyal customer of vw i request you to approve this in goodwill basics. Being a active rotarian / bni member and free mason in my region, my friends are waiting to know how tis issue being resolve by vw.

My sincere question is for all the jetta / other model owners, is the abs unite life is only 1, 09, 000kms...? None of from vw or dealership service personal are replaying this question. Some one can advise how to proceed this further.. I am fed up to write mails to all top officials of vw local and their hq..
According to them the warranty period is over more over the vehicle model is 2010 (For your information my service record is 100% perfect and i did my vehicle service at dealership till 1, 05, 000 kms) and they can not to do anything regarding this

Dear Friends
I need your advise, how to take this further. Since Company is not at all serious in this issue and the local dealer says the ' ABS is an electrical component and usage of over the period, there may be chances of failure' is it true that failure will happen because of long usage...???

I was Surprised that VW mentioned as the complaint was resolved .. till date there was no remedy and still they are offering a discounted parts and labor.

I don't understand why should i was penalized for no reason of mine and it is purely a [product issue and the company and the local dealer not accepting the fact.. Only one thing I need to know from the technical team of VW as this ABS module failure due to 'Over the time farm' (the same was mentioned by the dealer) I never come across any such cases in my whole automobile carrier(My overall experience in car sales is 38 years) in various brands like Ford / Hyundai/ Merc ect...
If I don't get a proper reply from VW, then I forced to go to consumer court for seeking justice...

Hi
Thank you for your mail and I have clearly mentioned in my mail about my vehicle issue...
But your local dealer is not accepting that the problem occurred due to the product Issue and they keep on mentioning in all their mails that ABS MODULE faulty is because of the time period and it is an electrical part.
You fully aware of that few parts in the car is unchangeable till the vehicle life. ABS also one amoung the parts need not change, since it is nonmoveable. It will faulty only if vehicle meet with a head on collation...
If you check my vehicle service record, no service was lapsed and till 1.5L Kms service done at your dealer service centre.
My question is this the quality of product imported by VW during 2010.
I need this to be replaced at free of cost..or else I have no option to take this legally..I know this is a very very small issue for you. But for consumer it is a big money, that too after 7 years..
