Consumer Description

FRONT RIGHT SIDE MARKET DEFECTIVE LIGHT AND ALL LIGHTS SEEM TO WORK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM ON AUDI FORMS AND COMPLAINTS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A OWNERS ISSUE AS DEALERSHIPS ARE CLAIMING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT FOR $6,000 WHICH IS LUDICROUS JUST FOR A DEFECTIVE SIDE MARKER LIGHT. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM FROM THE LAST RECALL OF SIDE MARKER LIGHT CONTROLS. THIS IS A MAJOR ROAD HAZARD.
