Audi Q5 Lighting problems by year

Driver reading light flickers on and off while driving creating a night driving distraction hazard

Level sensor on left rear suspension failed, causing headlights to be pointed downward and not safely lighting the road ahead. The sensor failed due to poor design, metal-to-metal ball and socket linkage in a corrosion-assured location under the car. When the metal-to-metal ball and socket corroded and froze, resulting load caused the sensor linkage to break. A search of Audi forums indicates that this problem is not uncommon, and this same sensor design is used in other Audi models and variants.

The Audi Q5 Premium Plus 2010 has a huge problem with the dashboard where it shows multiple dysfunctions! The worse is the back rear light and the steering wheels who makes awful noises, and so much more. I do not know why there is no recall for this model as they all have the same issues. Please advise.

1. Adaptive light not functioning. Warning light flashing for over a year now. " Adaptive light defective" symbol flashing. 2. Ac/heating fan "squealing" loudly. Began about a month ago.

Daytime running light does not work and appears based on my internet search this problem is pervasive.

At issue is the replacement of a daytime running light on the 2013 audi q5 which failed under normal driving conditions. Mileage at the time was under 60k miles. Audi engineering imbedded the daytime running light into the headlight unit. When the daytime running light fails, the entire headlight unit must be replaced - service estimate of $1,695.00. My research shows dealership service estimates for the replacement of a daytime running light to be $85.00 Or less for other vehicles. I feel audi's actions were...

Vehicle is very unsafe to drive at night. The low beam headlights only project and illuminate a very short distance in front of the vehicle. It would be nearly impossible to avoid a pedestrian, animal, or debris in the roadway because of this shortcoming.

2014 Audi q5, headlight lenses crazing/frosting from the inside. This is not water moisture, this is a defect in the lens material. The crazing/frosting of the lens decreases light output and scatters the light to where it affects oncoming drivers.

Interior surface of headlight assembly covers (lenses) showed significant pitting and hazing, as if it had been sandblasted, resulting in replacement under warranty because the plastic had degraded enough to reduce vision from headlights. These are sealed assemblies and there was no exterior damage. My suspicion is that the uv generated by the led headlight projectors is so high that it is attacking the internal surface of the plastic. Dealer remarked that they had seen "a number" of these. Q7 owners with similar...

Lh dipped lighting flickers off after about 1 min. It will not come back until the vehicle is restarted. Problem will reoccur as per above. It sounds like a common problem that should be repaired by the manufacturer.
