| Description of the problem | The headlights on the 2015 audi a3 inadeqately lights the road ahead especially on the drivers side. It is very difficult to see the road ahead to the point that it has become a safery problem to myself and anyone using this vehicle. This problem was brought to the dealers attention and was told that this is how the headlights were designed and we must live with it. They let us drive an audi a4 home in the dark and had no problem with the headlights and seeing the road in short, there is a real safety problem here that needs to be corrected on the 2015 audi a3 !!!! |
