I own a 2009 audi a4. On the Month of october 2024 my transmission failed. I towed my car to a mechanic who then replaced my transmission i picked up my car on December 11 2024 at 7 am from audi of fresno. I have had no prior issues and like always i expect a dealership to inspect a new vehicle that comes in, as i have never been able to get work done with out them always doing their own diagnostic. Any ways. On the morning of [XXX] at [XXX] i went to pic up breakfast from carls jr with my boyfriend. As i placed my order and drove up to the window without a single warning my car engulfed in flames from the front driver side. I turned my car off jumped out called. The fire department and watched as my car continued to build flames until the fire department finally showed up. Had i taken the freeway that day instead of the streets i wouldnt have noticed the fire until it was to late.. Im in shock and also just [XXX] that something like thus happened.

Headlight dipping warning comes on. Multiple complaints to Audi and on other forums with others having same problem. This is a vehicle safety issue due to headlight going out during random times while driving. Audi is fully aware that over 70 percent of its A4S has this problem which is a major concern and refuses to fix or recall the lights. This can happen on a new vehicle per many peoples complaints online.

I have a 2009 Audi A4, with 26K miles. The left headlight works intermittently. The dealership stated that I need to replace the bulb, but on further research I have found that several other folks have had the same issue. This is a major safety issue and there appears to be a defect that the manufacturer is not covering in the warranty. Can you please help resolve?
