Q5

  • miles
Level sensor on left rear suspension failed, causing headlights to be pointed downward and not safely lighting the road ahead. The sensor failed due to poor design, metal-to-metal ball and socket linkage in a corrosion-assured location under the car. When the metal-to-metal ball and socket corroded and froze, resulting load caused the sensor linkage to break. A search of Audi forums indicates that this problem is not uncommon, and this same sensor design is used in other Audi models and variants.

Vehicle is very unsafe to drive at night. The low beam headlights only project and illuminate a very short distance in front of the vehicle. It would be nearly impossible to avoid a pedestrian, animal, or debris in the roadway because of this shortcoming.
