What owners are reporting 2 most recent
I am filing a complaint and request for a recall on 2019 Audi Q7's side marker light. This is 2019 Model Audi Q7.It has about 60K miles. I start getting a warning message pops up frequently saying "Right front side marker light faulty See owner's manual". Searching online it appears many user with same model years facing the same problem, but could be on the left side. Some say dealer will not…
The vehicle reports front right side marker malfunction error while I do not see any issue with the headlight. I see that certain vehicles were recalled for the same model earlier reporting the same issue and hence wanted to report this a safety incident if the light malfunction while driving at night.
