INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORM

- Vista, CA, USA

I had just put $35 in gassed the car still said I needed gas and that I had zero miles left of gas I made a trip that was about 45 miles in distance. My car was then parked and turned off for about 3 to 4 hours then it had trouble starting at first but turned on and I proceeded onto the freeway which was across the street from the parking lot I parked inside of. It was about 9:00 pm and thankfully there was not a lot of cars out. The entrance of this freeway consist of one medium sized steep hill which remains traveling upward onto a mountain when my car suddenly shut off my 3 year old daughter and I were in the car and thankfully we were on the last lane due to the fact that we were barely entering the freeway. I parked on the right side skirt I had just replaced that battery earlier that week (no more than 5 day before). I had a small gas can in my trunk and had someone go to the gas station and bring me the gallon of gas which I emptied into my car and it turned on. At times the car does smell like gasoline especially if I just put gas. It doesn't matter how much gas I fill up my tank with it will indicate I have 0 miles of gas in the screen and the fuel gauge will not go below the middle indicator and will never show above 3/4 full. My tpmsa is always indicating a problem when the I have a mechanic see it and he assured me it's in good condition

Left dipped headlight flickers, dies out. While in motion or stationary, the left dipped headlight will flicker repeatedly and die out. Turning the headlights off and back on fixes the issue for a very short period of time before the flickering starts up again and every 5 minutes the left dipped headlight goes out again. This issue is very concerning for not only safety reasons, but for legal reasons as well given that I have to turn the headlights off and on every 5 minutes to avoid breaking the law by driving with a headlight out at night. This origin of this issue is unknown, but it seems to be very common and it warrants a recall considering how many people have this issue with the 2008 line of Audi A4 vehicles points to a mass manufacturing defect. It is not only dangerous it is illegal! this widespread issue demands a recall!

Takata recall

- Beverly, MA, USA

It happens when I turn the car on and I go to park it. When I pass reverse. It seems to happen a lot more often after it rains. My transmission is going into limp mode due to a major fault. Code P0706: Transmission range sensor circuit range/performance the transmission range sensor tells the tcm the position of the gear lever. It also contains a neutral safety switch, which ensures that you can only start your car in neutral or park. Potential causes for this code to set are: Faulty transmission range sensor misadjusted transmission range sensor open or shorted transmission range sensor harness faulty PCM it happens to a lot of the A4 Audi's. its dangerous and its not anything that owners of the Audi did or did not do. I have never neglected my car. It is something that is enevatable because it was caused during the manufacturing.

Headlights have a malfunction where they turn off and on. The sensor says that the left front bulb has dipped but Audi doesn't know what the issue is or how to fix it.

- Tallahassee, FL, USA

Headlights shut off while driving at night. I have looked at many forums and have seen this a problem in over 70 percent of Audi A4 B7 owners. This is an extreme hazard and needs to be fixed. My headlights shut off while driving at 8 pm. They would flicker, but would not re fire. I am speaking about the bi-xenon headlights for the 2006 - 2008 Audi line. I ended up driving home with my fog lights on.
