I have been receiving a marker light warning for both the left and the right marker lights. These warnings are intermittent but fairly persistent. The marker lights appear to be operating correctly. After a review of online forums this issue appears to epidemic in the 2017 Audi Q7. Audi has indicated the only way to fix the problem is a complete headlight replacement running between $4,000 to $6,000 per headlight depending on dealer. The failure of these sensors to read properly is a significant safety issue and should be the subject of a recall.

The contact owns a 2017 Audi Q7. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an intermittent warning message about the headlights would appear on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the only way to remove the warning message would be to replace the entire headlight housing. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V642000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Vehicle is giving me a warning that the marker lights are not working. Dealership verifed that they are working, and have no issue. They are unable to clear warning unless they disabled the market lights. Warning keeps popping up ever so often on my dashboard becoming a distraction while driving.

Front right side marker light defective. This recall shows up for Audi Q7, 2017, however, when I run my VIN it does not come up as an affected vehicle. This is a safety issue, when the light does not illuminate the vehicle is less visible at night and increases risk of crash. My vehicle is: 2017 Audi Q7.

Issue appears to be similar to existing recall 97CB exterior side marker lights to which my year, make, and model is included, but by specific vehicle /VIN is not. Warning lamps are present. In a situation where the parking lights are switched on and the vehicle is locked, the side marker lights do not illuminate, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."). This could reduce vehicle visibility, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

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.

Front right side marker is defective. There seems to be a recall for this exact issue for my exact make and model but Audi says the recall has already been done. I'm the 2nd owner so I don't know.
