   Headlight brightness needs to be better regulated (limited) for safety reasons. During night/darkness driving conditions, the headlights of some (newer) oncoming vehicles have an LED blue light brightness that is unsafe because the blinding light makes it impossible for other drivers to see the road until this type of oncoming vehicle passes.

   The contact's granddaughter owns a 2007 Audi A4. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V427000 (Air Bags), the dealer informed the contact that the recall repair could not be completed because the odometer did not display the mileage as per the manufacturer's policy. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue, but no assistance was provided. The contact's granddaughter had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

3. Filed Oct 2, 2023Failure May 15, 2021Aubrey, TXElectrical system, Unknown or other

   The moonroof was very poorly designed/built. It clogs very easily and forces rain into the battery area. Other than that, it goes into the footwells and the comfort control module is beneath the drivers footwell. Soaking in water destroyed it. Now the windows don't go up or down. The moonroof refuses to open or shut. The car will not lock or unlock with the key. The car has sat now for too long and will no longer even turn on. The insurance company looked it all over and denied my claim. The vehicle has pretty much been totalled. Even after paying professionals to clear out the clog, there's still massive problems with it.

4. Filed Jul 15, 2023Failure Jun 1, 2021Aubrey, TXElectrical system, Steering, Unknown or other

   They have a design defect which allows water to get into the cabin via the moon roof. They also have an electrical motherboard under the drivers feet (comfort control module) that shorts out when it gets wet (which is easy when the rain comes in from the faulty moon roof). Now I cannot un/lock my doors, operate my windows open/closed, etc. And I believe it has negatively effected my ability for brake lights to function properly. This is a widespread issue, not just on mine. They were even class action sued for the same issue with a different year model (and settled out of court, but I was not an owner of the other car year). Please help. Thank you.

   My 2007 Audi A4 is part of the Takata airbag lawsuit so I scheduled an appointment to have it repaired at Audi of Tampa. I had my car towed there because the battery recently died and I was told I needed to have the key reprogrammed because it would not start after replacing the battery and figured I could have both repairs done at the same time. My appointment was at 7pm but when I arrived nobody had any knowledge of my appointment and was told they do not make appointments that late in the day but a technician would give me a call. I leave my car there and receive a call today from the repair technician Tyler King who proceeded to tell me that prior to doing anything to the car he'd have to run a diagnostics test that would cost me $500! WHAT? Just to give a diagnosis that I've already been given? Insane. So now that I do not have that kind of money what am I supposed to do? Tow it back home and have a locksmith reprogram the key and ignore the airbag issue? I feel unsafe in the Audi I once loved and relied on daily and don't know how I am supposed to proceed with this.

7. Filed Sep 10, 2022Failure Sep 10, 2022Seattle, WAAir bags

   Many years ago Audi advised that there is a defect with the air bag in my vehicle, and that they would change it for free. I contacted a dealer and they said they would contact me after the part is available. They have done nothing, the defective air bag is still in the car, the company still explains that the airbag can cause serious injury to occupants, and I still drive my family in the car. Now they are suggesting that because the car is nearing 15 years old they may disregard the risk to my family and not take responsibility for the defective air bag. The car has been to the shop, but their current web site does not clearly say, in plain language, that the air bag has been replaced. The language is not written so that an average prudent person can understand. I would like, in straight forward and unambiguous language, to know what the status is with the car.

   My vehicle will disengage forward or drive at times (transmission) unknowingly and as you apply the gas it sometimes will engage and go forward or reverse in a high speed. Stopped at a light or stop sign becomes dangerous as you are not in control of your speed. Or you may be moved into traffic and lose forward or reverse power.

    RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL NHTSA 16V079 ON APRIL 2016. AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS OF WAITING FOR PARTS DUE TO SHORTAGE THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED ON FEBRUARY 2019. ON APRIL 2019 AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SCANNED VEHICLE AND SAID WAS UNRELATED TO THE AIRBAG WHICH IT WAS JUST REPLACED AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $800 FOR A REAR SEATBELT TENSIONER. I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE BEING HONEST SO I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER NON-AUDI DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE AIRBAG CODES WERE RELATED TO ACTUAL AIRBAG WHICH WAS REPLACED. AFTER A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH AND AGGRAVATION WITH AUDI, THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG A SECOND TIME ON MAY OF 2020 AND AIRBAG LIGHT WENT AWAY. HOWEVER, 5 MONTHS LATER ON OCTOBER OF 2020 AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. DEALER NOW SAYS THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS NOT GOOD AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME $2,800 PLUS TAXES TO REPLACE IT. I FEEL THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND ARE PRESENTING ME WITH A FAT BILL WITH THE HOPES I WILL WALK AWAY WITHOUT REPAIRING, THIS WAY THEY ARE OFF THE HOOK FROM ANY OBLIGATIONS TO REPAIR THE CAR OR POTENTIAL LAW SUITS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I AM RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS AT THIS POINT. I FEEL THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR AN ISSUE WHICH STARTED AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT AND NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $3,000 FOR SOMETHING I AM NOT EVEN SURE IT WILL WORK. IS THERE A LAW THAT WOULD PROTECT THE CONSUMER FROM THIS TYPE OF SITUATION? AFTER ALL THIS WAS A RECALL..... WHAT IS MY RIGHT AT THIS POINT?
