2010 Volkswagen Eos Complaints

ESP/ABS ERROR. LIGHTS ON. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO SOMEONE'S CAR DUE TO MY ABS BRAKES FAILING ON ME. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR. CAME UP ON A TRAFFIC JAM AT A STAND STILL. SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. THOUGH I WAS GOING TO DIE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN THE ABS, BRAKE AND OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. IT WAS AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES WHERE I SKID AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH SNOW AND MY ABS HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THE LIGHT CAME ON, MAKING DRIVING VERY UNSAFE. I'M AWARE PREVIOUS MODELS OF MY CAR HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH DEFECTIVE OR FAILED ABS SYSTEMS/ANTI-SKID/BRAKING SYSTEMS WHICH RAISES CONCERN FOR MY MODEL YEAR.

THE CAR GEAR PRNDS FLASHES. THE CAR DOESNT DO INTO GEAR. WHEN PUT IN REVERSE, THE CAR STAYS IN NEUTRAL. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS CAN ARISE IN THE HIGHWAY SOMETIMES THE CAR FAILS. NEEDS TO BE RESTARTED.

SEPT 20515 - SAFETY RECALL 69L2 - STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING, REPLACED 2016 - WENT OUT AGAIN 9-20, 5 YEARS LATER. VW DENIED REPLACEMENT AS IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T STAY ON. THE HORN, DOESN'T WORK, OR OTHER CONTROL ON STEERING COLUMN. STEERING WHEEL STARTED SQUEAKING IN AUG. 2020. IT STARED AS I WAS DRIVING, HAD TO USE HORN TO STOP SOMEONE FROM BACKING INTO ME AND IT DIDN'T WORK, THOUGHT I PERHAPS DIDN'T PRESS HORN HARD ENOUGH, NOT THE CASE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ALSO, CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO, ETC. ANYTHING CONTROLLED BY STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. I NEED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. ALSO THE "AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR" STOPPED WORKING, REPLACED I HAD TO PAY.
