NHTSA Complaint #10379536 — 2006 AUDI S4

AUDI 2006 S4, THERE IS A MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCE OF MY "HEADLIGHTS DIPPING" MY XENON HEADLAMPS WILL STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING, IT WOULD EITHER BE THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT, BUT NOT UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN BOTH WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I WOULD PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WILL RESET ITSELF AND LIGHTS WILL THEN WORK, IT SEEMS TO STOP OCCURRING WHEN CAR IS WARMED UP AND IT IS WORSE WITH COLDER WEATHER AND VIBRATION OR BAD ROADS. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY OCCUR WHEN CAR IS EVEN WARM WELL AFTER 30 MINUTES, I AM NOW CONCERNED BECAUSE LAST WEEK BOTH WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, IT WAS ALWAYS ONE OR THE OTHER, IT HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS OR SO. AUDI HAS NO ANSWER, THEY HAVE ERRONEOUSLY REPLACED WORKING XENON LIGHTS, BALLASTS, ETC AND IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR TO MANY INDIVIDUALS THAT I READ UP ON IN AUDI FORUMS. FREQUENCY IS NOW EACH AND EVERY TIME I START CAR AND GET GOING LITERALLY FEET TO LESS THAN A BLOCK. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED, IT WAS ONCE A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEN ONCE A WEEK, TO ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS, TO NOW EACH AND EVERY TIME AT LEAST A COUPLE OF TIMES UNTIL WARM. I AM IN COLDER CLIMATE, DETROIT, MI. *LN
