Turn signal switch malfunction. When turning right turn direction on, the left turn goes on instead of the right turn. After researching the issue, it looks like it-€™s a common issue with Audi. This is a safety issue and need to be recalled asap.

The battery failed/malfunctioned and was leaking hydrogen sulfide gas into my car slowly for a long period of time. A month or two after I initially financed this used Audi A4 at Volkswagon in Dothan, AL, I started experiencing the side effects of low dose exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas. From that point until today my symptoms have been getting worse and worse. My asthma symptoms progressed. I caught walking pneumonia several times. My hair has been falling out in clumps and my kindneys are having serious issues. My pee started smelling very strange. Consistently, over the past year and a half, I have nearly passed out at the wheel of my car over and over. For a very long time, the gas was odorless and really couldn't be detected by smell. Five days ago I went to start my car and it wouldn't crank. I jumped it off and for the next five days following that the smell of rotten eggs got worse and worse....I'm lying in the bed right now bc my lungs feel like they're going to explode. I've felt this, along with my heart feeling like it was going to explode put of my chest, as well as my entire stomach/intestines feeling as if someone were stabbing me with knives. My doctors could not figure out why all of my hair was falling out or why I started to develop peripheral neuropathy. They even ran tests on me for Multiple Schlerosis. Found nothing. They did electrical pulse tests and cat scans and my dermatologist had no explanation for my hair just falling off my head in handfuls. I have a third of the hair on my head that I used to have. My skin and eyes consistently kept getting irritated by the gas as well....splotchy red exema like patches appeared all over me. I had a miscarriage because of this as well. I couldn't afford to get the car looked at, so it hasn't been taken anywhere. I received no warning of the problem until two days ago when my lights in my car and the air conditioner stopped working. The year of my life had been a living hell.

I received a recall notice (19N4) and as a first step I'm advised to have an Audi dealer disconnect the coolant pump immediately to avoid a fire. I live 5 hours from the nearest Audi dealership but have a local shop that works on german made cars including the Audi. However, Audi refuses to provide instructions to the local shop to disconnect the coolant pump and avoid a fire. However, when I call my dealer they can't get me in on the day I'll be in the area. So, I'm told it's important but given no remedy to avoid a fire. Basically, Audi sent out the recall notice to cover their butts and really have no interest to resolve the problem. With the fuel economy fiasco and their lack of concern over safety recalls - maybe they should be barred from even selling cars in the U.S.a
