2005 Audi A4 Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1001759
Internal NHTSA #	10534346
Manufacurer	Volkswagen of America, Inc.
Brand	AUDI
Model	A4
Model Year	2005
File date	01/10/08
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Car headlights periodically flicker and turn off under normal conditions. Driver side flickers on acceleration and passenger side will flicker and turn off completely during acceleration or braking. Have to switch the headlights completely off and back on for them to light up again. I have the bi-xenon hid adaptive headlights factory installed on my car. I just received a class action lawsuit letter describing reimbursements for class members who have either repaired or had an authorized audi dealership document the issue within the 5 year/50,000 mile warranty from date of original purchase or lease. I bought my car at 51,xxx miles and am out of warranty with no access to the previous owners records. This is a safety issue that should be identified and a full recall campaign should be initialized with audi of america (aoa). From what i have gathered on the internet, there are 100's if not 1000's of a4's having this problem but aoa refuses to take responsibility for it and claim the headlights are operating normally. Normally is not turning off while driving on their own. I have dealt with this issue for 5 years that i have owned my car and never asked the dealership for a repair due to it being out of warranty and is expensive ($1000+). It's time for aoa to own up to this issue and repair it free of charge for it's customers since it's a safety issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
