Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | On my 2005. 5 audi a4, the driver's side headlight flickers, then the illumination terminates. This is a problem that the dealership has been made aware of, however they don't find the problem during service . The illumination flickers, causing other driver's to take their attention from the road and focus on my vehicle. Additionally, as is a law in illinois, i am not able to have a vehicle equipped with flashing or strobing white or blue light, which this malfunction ultimately does. Finally, the light being out, causes the roadway to be darker and thus, more difficult to see. Illinois law requires two properly functioning headlights, which i do not have. |
