| 2005 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005.5 AUDI A4 EQUIPPED WITH XENON HEADLIGHTS SUFFER FROM INTERMITTENT FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS CAN BEGIN TO FLICKER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FLICKERING CAN GET WORSE AND ONE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. A WARNING READING EITHER "LEFT OR RIGHT DIPPED HEADLIGHT" APPEARS ON THE CAR. THE OTHER HEADLIGHT THAT DID NOT FAIL TYPICALLY REMAINS ON AND CONTINUES TO FUNCTION PROPERLY ALTHOUGH IT HAS ALSO FAILED LEAVING THE CAR WITH NO FUNCTIONAL HEADLIGHTS ON TWO OCCASIONS. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE CYCLED OFF THEN BACK ON THE HEADLIGHTS TURN BACK ON AND MAY FUNCTION PROPERLY OR MAY FLICKER AND FAIL AGAIN. THE PROBLEM BEGAN UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS VERY INFREQUENT. THE PROBLEM NOW OCCURS 50% OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. TYPICALLY WHILE EXPERIENCING THE FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS I FIND THAT THE SAFEST WAY TO DRIVE IS ONE FAILED HEADLIGHT AS THERE IS THEN NO FLICKERING OF HEADLIGHTS WHICH I WOULD ASSUME IS HIGHLY DISTRACTING TO OTHER DRIVERS. A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR LEFT OR RIGHT DIPPED HEADLIGHT RETURNS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RESULTS WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING AUDI TO CORRECTLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. AS THE XENON HEADLIGHTS ARE OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT ON THE CARS THE PERCENTAGE OF CARS WITH XENON BULBS AND HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS MIGHT BE FAIRLY HIGH. *TR |
| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | 2006 AUDI A4 QUATTRO, LIGHT APPEARS STATING THE LEFT DIPPED HEADLIGHT IS OUT. I HAVE TO TURN MY LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL STAY ON, THEN THE LIGHT WILL FLICKER, THEN IT GOES OUT. IT DOES THIS MOST EVERY NIGHT, AND WHEN STARTS UP, DOESN'T OFTEN STOP. *TR |
