Lighting complaints
Headlight switch failed while driving on paved highway at approximately 60 mph at 11:30 pm. Failure caused all headlights to stop functioning, thereby leaving the driver and passenger in total darkness at cruising speed. Extreme potential for fatal accident. This is the 4th time this switch has failed.*Ak
Both the cruise control and the headlight washer vaccum pumps shorted out at the same time after 40000 miles. Nothing was done by the owners other then normal driving the might be associated with the number of ingintion switches problems noted on audi 4's.*Ak
Intermittent problem with engine computer kept it from accelerating. It would suddenly only idle out from a stop. If you were to pull into traffic you could not accelerate and would be hit or cause someone else to swerve to avoid you. It took the dealer 7 months to find the problem and replace the ecu. It became obvious after replacement that it had been bad since day one and gradually got worse since all acceleration hesitation went away. This unit quickly failed and had to be replaced also.
