Owner Complaints for the 2007 AUDI A4

226 complaints have been filed with NHTSA for the 2007 AUDI A4. Below is a breakdown by vehicle component.

Most Recent Complaints

#11717563 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | | N/A miles
Headlight brightness needs to be better regulated (limited) for safety reasons. During night/darkness driving conditions, the headlights of some (newer) oncoming vehicles have an LED blue light brightness that is unsafe because the blinding light makes it impossible for other drivers to see the road until this type of oncoming vehicle passes.
#11631819 | AIR BAGS | | N/A miles
The contact's granddaughter owns a 2007 Audi A4. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V427000 (Air Bags), the dealer informed the contact that the recall repair could not be completed because the odometer did not display the mileage as per the manufacturer's policy. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue, but no assistance was provided. The contact's granddaughter had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
#11547890 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | | N/A miles
The moonroof was very poorly designed/built. It clogs very easily and forces rain into the battery area. Other than that, it goes into the footwells and the comfort control module is beneath the drivers footwell. Soaking in water destroyed it. Now the windows don't go up or down. The moonroof refuses to open or shut. The car will not lock or unlock with the key. The car has sat now for too long and will no longer even turn on. The insurance company looked it all over and denied my claim. The vehicle has pretty much been totalled. Even after paying professionals to clear out the clog, there's still massive problems with it.

They have a design defect which allows water to get into the cabin via the moon roof. They also have an electrical motherboard under the drivers feet (comfort control module) that shorts out when it gets wet (which is easy when the rain comes in from the faulty moon roof). Now I cannot un/lock my doors, operate my windows open/closed, etc. And I believe it has negatively effected my ability for brake lights to function properly. This is a widespread issue, not just on mine. They were even class action sued for the same issue with a different year model (and settled out of court, but I was not an owner of the other car year). Please help. Thank you.
