2006 Audi A4 Electrical system Problems

“I have the A4 w/ 3.1 liter v6. Almost immediately after purchase, transmission exhibited bumpy lurching start from stop. Audi diagnose said that's symptomatic of this transmission and engine combination. Nothing could be done to prevent. Within 1st year, the car would stall and completely shut down, necessitating a re-start. Sometimes upon start, and most notably (and the example cited above) when driving at slow speed. (I suspect the stall problems described relates to the lurching transmission problem). On this incident there was no check engine light. …”

“I was driving on I-45 s to houston and at 9 pm, I tried turning my front fog light on as it was getting foggy occasionally. I was at 75 MPH speed on right lane, all of a sudden all lights went out, I immediately pulled over to the median and after playing around some kind of light came back, drove to nearest exit to gas station about a mile further and checked all lights, it was working fine now. I have read similar kind of complaint here and not sure if it is getting attention. Does death has to occur before nhsta and Audi listen to this problem. …”

“I was driving home and right headlight started flickering, almost like a strobe light then all of a sudden the light goes out then comes back on by its self. Then goes back off and stays off so I pull off the road. I look at the light and it is still out. I turn my lights off then back on and it works like new, but it keeps happening. This is very dangerous. What happens if both light goes out and this happens, its the manufacturer fault not mine. There should be a recall or do something about this before someone gets hurts, or lose their life.”

“August 2014, driving at night, highway speeds (65mph+) both left and right headlights flickered and went out, no illumination. Took several tries to reset by light control switch. Would reset, then flicker and both headlights out. Very dangerous situation, was close to home and able to get there ok. Vehicle is in at service for repair.”

“Both headlights shut off at any time. Error message says left/right dipped headlamp. It seems like a design/engineering flaw. This is a dangerous safety issue, especially at night. This could result in death, injury, and monetary fines from the police. There should be an immediate recall to fix the problem.”
