Lighting complaints
Brake light switch failure. 2002 Audi a6. Car was having problems running, brake lights would stay on even when car was off, was wondering why vehicles were honking at me when I was driving. Since car is made by vw and they have a major recall ongoing with brake switch failures just like I encountered, audi should recall all their models to fix this problem too (free of charge!) Unlike me who has to pay. *Jb
All xenon headlamps should be banned. They blind oncoming drivers !!!
