NHTSA Complaint #10548343 — 2006 AUDI A4

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIMES EMIT A WARNING THAT STATES "TIPPED HEADLIGHT" WHICH TRIGGERS THE CAR TO IMMEDIATELY TURN THE AFFECTED HEADLIGHT OFF--THIS CAN OCCUR WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. IT USUALLY HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I AM DRIVING, BUT THERE IS NO PATTERN AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST AUDI WHERE THEY WILL REFUND A PORTION OF YOUR REPAIRS FOR THE FAULTY HID HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2006 AUDI A4, BUT AUDI STILL CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE AND NOT AT FAULT (HTTP://WWW.HIDHEADLIGHTSETTLEMENT.COM/). PLEASE FORCE AUDI TO RECALL THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM--I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY MY LOCAL DEALER CLOSE TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO SAFETY REASONS (THE CLASS ACTION SUIT ONLY REFUNDS REPAIRS PRIOR TO AUGUST 2013 AND WON'T EVEN COVER THE ENTIRE COST). THERE ARE A LOT OF 2006 AUDI A4'S OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM--THE COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER MULTIPLE MESSAGE BOARDS, AND THERE WERE OBVIOUSLY ENOUGH PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM OR THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN APPROVED. *TR
