| The problem started with an intermittent right headlight tilt message. the right bulb was replaced per tsb 2013829/6 on 4/15/09 by the dealer under warranty. we have been having this problem on the left side for the past year or more. the left headlight now turns off intermittently after the dip warning light comes on. when the lights are turned off and on again, the light turns on. this is a safety issue as the left headlight shuts off randomly. we are out of warranty now and feel both headlights should have been repaired under the original tsb while the car was under warranty. the bulbs are xenon and very expensive. this problem appears to be a common problem with audi's based on the service order and internet discussion groups. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 audi a3. the contact stated that the shade covering the sunroof failed in her vehicle. also, the steering column had to be replaced because the horn would not function along with the turn signals. moreover, the electrical system also had to be re-wired. she took the vehicle to the dealer each time a failure occurred and they were repaired under warranty. most recently, the battery failed and the contact had to pay $257 for the repair. in july of 2007, she was involved in a crash; however, the air bags failed to deploy. she has spoken with the dealer many times regarding the failures. the manufacturer reimbursed her for the battery repair. the current mileage was 22,837 and failure mileage was approximately 300. | |||
