[Resolved]  Volkswagen India — vw vento tsi abs sensors

Address:

Mody Auto Corp Pvt Ltd. Bradma Compound Plot No 17-18, Road No 16, Wagle Estate Rd, Neheru Nagar, Wagle Industrial Estate, Thane West, Maharashtra 400604, Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400 080

I have a 2014 vento tsi. The car has good performance, but has had 2 abs sensors fail within a span of 2 months (Abs light was showing on the dashboard). Now again, i am having the issue of the abs dashboard light since the last 2 weeks. I take the car out only once or twice per month. Every time i am at the authorised svc, i see at least two customers angry about multiple abs sensors failing. My maternal uncle who has a vw polo gt in chennai also has had to get all 4 abs sensors replaced. I believe that vw india has deliberately used components with pre determined failure life so that it can milk the customers for their hard earned cash. I had to spend more than inr 10000 for getting the 2 sensors replaced earlier. This is an exorbitant price for sensors which are actually available much cheaper for the skoda brand and are also of the same design. I urge vw to address the issue and either provide customers with a subsidy or discounted service for this design error. I hope that vw will acknowledge this issue themselves unlike the diesel emission scandal where any wrongdoing was admitted only after government agencies stepped in.
