My audi, along with thousands of others have had their abs control unit malfunction because of design. This malfunction causes the abs to not work on the affected vehicle. Volkswagen, the company that produces audis and vws actually recalled this exact part on their vw vehicles, but for some reason refuses to correct the problem for their audi customers. The cost to replace this control unit is $1,400 - $1,700, and as such i have been driving my vehicle without its abs functioning. Below is a description of the recall for this exact part, but on the vw jetta: "2002 volkswagen jetta gls nhtsa recall id number: 02v031000 recall date: jan 31, 2002 component: service brakes, hydraulic:antilock potential units affected: 55000 summary: on some passenger vehicles, short circuits can occur within the electronic control unit of the anti-lock braking system (abs).
