“The contact owns a 1998 Audi Quattro. The contact received a recall notice for the headlight switch. The dealer repaired the headlight switch. However, after the repair the dashboard warning indicator lights faded on and off and occasionally remained illuminated. When the key was removed from the ignition the radio shut off and it should continue to play. The dealer advised the contact that the failures were due to the electrical system. The contact heard a loud screeching noise while making a right turn. This failure also occurred after the repairs were done. …”
