What owners wrote
I have a audi a4 2003. Today for the fifth time in the last 17k miles, the auto leveling sensors for the xenon headlamps failed. The xenon head lights no longer "auto level" and in certain terrains the car will blind oncoming traffic. The audi dealer has replaced numerous parts, but has yet to date to really fix the problem. This is definitely a saftey issue, since it causes my car to blind oncoming traffic, and also causes too much reflection of signs to the driver in my car during night driving.
Headlight failure. The car gives a warning that the "front dipped headlight" is turning off. This failure occurs every time I start the car. I have replaced the headlight 3 times but it is a faulty ballast, which is defective.
