ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL
THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVERS DISPLAY IS VERY FADED MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE CRITICAL INFORMATION INCLUDING SYSTEM WARNINGS AND GEAR SELECTION. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE, AS CRITICAL INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE DRIVER. AUDI DOES NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH AUDI OF AMERICA. PLEASE ASSIST. *JB
