The brake lights, the most important lighted warning system on your vehicle, warn other drivers of your intentions to slow or stop. The brake light switch, operated by a small plunger and contact switch on the brake pedal, tells the brake lights when to come on. A defective brake light switch will disrupt the signal. I was at the mechanic village this morning to work on the wheels and check for loose arms as I would, but after the mechanic work was done and through, I took the car for a test drive only for me to find out where I parked that my brake lights were actually on, at first I thought it was just the reflection of light from the sun but on going near it and feeling for temperature, I felt that it was very hot. So, I tried to check for what could have made the lights come on in the first place but couldn't. I don't want just any body to go dipping hands into the system just anyhow. Please help me. Is this a good question? Comments: 2012 Chrysler Town and Country brake lights staying on Audi A4 owners have reported 28 problems related to brake light on (under the service brakes category).

The amber abs warning light glows while the red brake light blinks. I understand newer Audi models have just been recalled for abs issues, but my 1998 A4 was not included in the recall. Braking appears normal, and warning light illumination is sporadic.

I purchased a vehicle from better way auto sales on 10-31-14. After 2 weeks of driving, my check engine light came on. My odometer was also going up pretty fast, went from 89,000 miles to 93,000 miles in less than a month. My brake light was also on permanently even when I wasn't pressing the brakes. I bought it to a mechanic & he gave me a list of issues that was wrong with the car. I called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle from to make a appointment to bring my car in to get fixed. They gave me a appointment weeks from when I called. After having my car for a few days, they called saying my dealership warranty has expired so they can't fix it. I'm 100% sure I didn't drive 4,000 miles in 3 weeks. The dealership warranty expires after 90 days or 3,000 miles which ever one comes first. I also purchased a extended warranty which the dealership said my extended warranty don't cover the parts needed. The labor of everything is expensive that they want me to pay out of pocket. I suspect that there's some odometer fraud going on or some type of scam. I also feel as though the issues with the car shouldve been fixed before selling. They claim there was a safety inspection done on car but aren't brakes included in inspection? I have little knowledge when it come to things of this nature but I do suspect something wrong is going on with better way auto sales.

Audi complaint and recall request the anti lock braking system no longer works like it should. When the vehicle is started I get a solid amber abs warning light along with a flashing brake light accompanied with three warning tones. Upon doing an internet search I immediately realized this problem with the bosch 5. 3 abs control module unit is extremely common on 1998 to 2001 Audi and vw models. Audi/vw created a service bulletin to repair vw's in the same date range (bulletin 0517 NHTSA id number: 10016037), but ignored the issue with Audi's. As per the vehicle's owner's manual, it states that while the system is in this state, the rear brakes may lock up under braking. This is a serious problem that will not allow me to brake quickly in emergency situations. The cost of replacing the abs module from the dealership was quoted at over $1000. A simple internet search reveals that thousands of Audi owners have voiced complaints. This is a blatant disregard for their customer's safety and a recall should be required.

On my 2000 Audi A4 the anti lock braking system no longer works. I get a solid amber abs warning light along with a flashing brake light accompanied with three warning tones when I start the car. After much research, this is a common problem on 1998 to 2001 Audi and vw models. I have not heard of any recall, however there should be one. This is a serious problem that will not allow me to brake quickly in all situations especially winter conditions and the cost to get it replaced is far too much.

Failure of abs brake control unit in an Audi 2001 A4 while driving on the freeway with snow. It occurred in salt lake city, utah. Abs brake light came on and the abs brakes weren't working driving on snow and needed to be replaced. $710. 00 was the cost of the repair for a faulty unit and a very common problem that Audi knows about it. Good thing that I was going really slow and I was exiting the slippery freeway at the time and I didn't slide. Thank you!.

1. One day suddenly my Audi 2001 A4 starts to show abs and brake light to be failing. 2. The failure when diagnosed seems to be a problem with Audi's abs control unit, and that needs to be repaired. 3. I have not repaired it yet, because dealers quoted a huge price of more than 1500$ to fix the abs control unit.
Failure Date: 03/15/2009

The abs module on my vehicle has failed. This problem seems to be quite prevalent amongst Audi and vw vehicles. An abs failure could cause accidents and deaths. This module should be recalled. The problem begins with three beeps, a solid yellow abs light and a flashing red brake light. The warning may come on momentarily while I am driving and go away, but in most cases will become more prevalent as time goes on. Sometimes the abs and brake light remain on. Occasionally the abs activated (in other words abs braking has activated) while the car is in motion. From researching this problem, it seems to be common with Audi A4 and vw passat b5 models. The abs warning light will come on each time the vehicle is operated. The sudden abs activation will occur rarely. The consequences of sudden abs activation is obvious; braking when not expecting it can cause tragic results. Losing the abs functionality while driving and when it is needed can also cause tragic results. I took my car into the shop. A vag was hooked up and the following code appeared:'01203 - electrical connection between abs and instrument cluster'replacing the electrical connection between the abs and instrument cluster will not solve the problem. The only resolution for this issue is to buy a new abs unit, buy a used abs unit, or have the current control module rebuilt. Again, systematic and widespread failures of the abs control module are occurring. Numerous owners have filed complaints with regard to this issue. Please look into the issue and consider recalling the module before it tragic results do occur.

Out of nowhere, abs light on, brake light flashing. Took to shop, they stated this is a common problem for the abs module to lock out communications; 1400 + for the repair. This is an expensive car; I find it outrageous the electronic module is outside, subject to weather conditions and salt. Please see my complaint on coil springs as well. Researched the problem on the internet and it seems this is usual and customary for this model, I feel NHTSA needs to step up here and call Audi on the table.

The abs control unit on my Audi A4 failed after 95,000 miles. I have no anti-lock braking and Audi has denied any responsibility for the part since it is out of warranty. Searching through Audi forums I found this failure to be very common and everyone had no abs until the control unit was replaced which cost an average of $1500+. There were no events that lead up to the failure, I started the car one day and the abs and brake light started flashing on my dash. I tested the abs and found that it indeed does not prevent my brakes from locking up. Nearly three years later, the part has not been fixed due to the high cost to repair it.

My abs and brake light came on intermittently a month ago and gradually got more frequent. Now they are on almost all the time. When I took it into the shop right after the first incident I was told the instrument cluster would need to be changed which would cost me a bundle (possibly over $2000). My vehicle actually has relatively low miles on it and has been maintained really well so I am very upset that Audi will not fix or pay for this.

The abs module is causing the panel brake light to blink and the abs light to be on steady. My complaint is that the charge to repair this is estimated at $750 including $250 labor from our local Audi dealer. There is no good reason for this fault to occur, and the repair is quite expensive. I am waiting for Audi to order a new board, so I am driving with bad abs brakes, and it is almost December.
