Latest A4 lighting complaints
The headlights on my 2017 Audi A4 have developed stress cracks in the headlamp housing. According to the inspection performed by an authorized Audi dealer, these cracks will obscure headlight projection and lower the visibility range at night. The dealer specifically noted there were no signs of outside influence or misuse, and the issue is likely due to internal headlight temperature, external ambient temperature, and age. This defect directly impairs visibility and makes it unsafe to drive the vehicle at night...

or in low-light conditions. Headlights are a critical safety system. The problem has been confirmed and documented by the Audi dealership in a written inspection report. Audi of America has acknowledged that the defect is unrelated to misuse but refuses to fully assist with repairs, despite admitting it impacts visibility. The issue is ongoing and worsens with time. There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages related to the defect prior to its discovery. The vehicle and documentation are available for inspection upon request. This is a safety concern that puts me and others at risk due to reduced nighttime visibility.
The MMI or infotainment center turns off and reboots/kicks user out while the car is in motion and also while stopped. The MMI going off has cut out while backing up not allowing the rear camera to be used and has also not allowed the front and rear sensors to be used for parking/auto breaking.

The third brake light intermittently stops working. Being that it is intermittent, it tells me the led and circuitry are working. Also, a warning alert will illuminate on my dash instrument cluster and not when the light is working again. Upon further searching on-line, there is an issue with a solder joint cracking. I believe this is the case because when i jiggle the connector, the light will illuminate. Since this light is required by law, this is a very important safety issue. And a rather expensive one since the replacement part alone is $150-$200.
Water pump failed inside lights sometimes work and signal lights aren't accurate
Headlights flickering. Must turn off the headlights and turn them back on for this issue to go away. All headlight components were replaced including the bulb and this issue still is there. The Audi dealerships seem to not know how to fix this issue. This issue is only on the left side/driver side. The dealer could not duplicate this issue on the right side/passenger side. All new parts were installed.

Left head light flickers and shuts itself off after vehicle is driven and the lights have been on for about 5 minutes. The warning display on the dashboard gives a "left headlight level" error code.
Left dipped headlight flickers , dies out. While in motion or stationary , the left dipped headlight will flicker repeatedly and die out.

This issue is very concerning for not only safety reasons , but for legal reasons as well given that I have to turn the headlights off and on every 5 minutes to avoid breaking the...

law by driving with a headlight out at night. This origin of this issue is unknown , but it seems to be very common and it warrants a recall considering how many people have this issue with the 2008 line of audi a4 vehicles points to a mass manufacturing defect. It is not only dangerous it is illegal! This widespread issue demands a recall!
Vehicle is equipped with adaptive headlights. When I turn the passenger side low beam goes out.
Passenger headlight stays on for 30 seconds while driving. I turn the knob off then back on. It stays on for 30 seconds again and goes back out. I just had the headlights replaced because I thought they were going bad. I passed another car with the same passenger headlight out then I noticed the light is not blown its an internal problem. Ive checked the wiring connector to headlight and its fine. I did more research online and found out alot of people experiencing the same issue. Please look into this issue. I work at night and I need my headlight. It does the same while parked
