Description of the problem | Left dipped headlight flickers , dies out. While in motion or stationary , the left dipped headlight will flicker repeatedly and die out. Turning the headlights off and back on fixes the issue for a very short period of time before the flickering starts up again and every 5 minutes the left dipped headlight goes out again. This issue is very concerning for not only safety reasons , but for legal reasons as well given that i have to turn the headlights off and on every 5 minutes to avoid breaking the law by driving with a headlight out at night. This origin of this issue is unknown , but it seems to be very common and it warrants a recall considering how many people have this issue with the 2008 line of audi a4 vehicles points to a mass manufacturing defect. It is not only dangerous it is illegal! This widespread issue demands a recall! |
