SERVICE BRAKES
SEVERAL 2009 GTI OWNERS ARE REPORTING THAT THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. UPON LOSS OF TRACTION, THE ABS CONTROL MODULE CAN GENERATE A FAULTY SIGNAL, CAUSING THE ECU TO DISABLE ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES NOW ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER WHEN ROADS ARE SLIPPERY AND IT IS NEEDED MOST. THE FOLLOWING IS THE COMMON CEL CODE: 1 FAULT FOUND: 01130 - ABS OPERATION 008 - IMPLAUSIBLE SIGNAL - INTERMITTENT ADDRESS 03: ABS BRAKES (-----) LABELS: 1K0-907-379-60EC1F.CLB PART NO SW: 1K0 907 379 AE HW: 1K0 907 379 AE COMPONENT: ESP MK60EC1 H35 0104. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE IS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN GTI EQUIPPED WITH A DSG TRANSMISSION. THE GTI IS NOT OFFERED AS CHOICE WHEN SELECTING VEHICLE MODEL USING THIS ON-LINE COMPLIANT FORM. OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE OR ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ENGINE REVOLUTIONS WILL INCREASE BUT WITH LITTLE OR NO FORWARD MOTION, AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS AT HIGH RPM (~3000 -4000) THE ENGINE REVS DROP, SOMETIMES ABRUPTLY AND THE CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THIS BEHAVIOR IS INFREQUENT OCCURRING, 6 TIMES OVER ~ 3000 MILES. THIS BEHAVIOR IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THERE IS A RISK OF AN ACCIDENT IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EVALUATED BY THE DEALER BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR FIND ANY DEFECT. *KB
