Drivers front side marker LED light warning.

- Bloomington, IN, USA

Front left side marker defective

- New Market , MD, USA

The headlights in the vehicle are malfunctioning. The daytime running lights are dimming and failing. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership and they state that both headlights need to be replaced at a cost to me of $8,500, and they further claim that the issues indicates the entire headlight assembly is failing and has to be replaced. After looking at this issue online, it appears to be an extensive issue with Audi of failing LED headlights. Audi has issued recalls for some models over the same issue, but not all, and the 2017 Q7 is not part of the headlight recall. It seems clear to me that LED headlights should not fail after a few years of routine use, and it is concerning that the failure of the headlights will get worse and will likely impact the safety of the vehicle. Further, it is concerning that Audi is not willing to remedy what is a product defect in a vital car component.

This issue appears to fall under recall 97CB for a Side Marker Light Violation on select Audi vehicles. I own a 2017 Audi Q7 and have been receiving an error that the "front right side marker light is defective". Audi service has stated that the issue is with an individual LED diode so the entire headlight unit must be replaced to the tune of $4,400. Since my VIN is not included in recall 97CB, they will not replace it. My vehicle was purchased as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle and had approximately 63,000 miles when the defect occurred. I am respectfully requesting to expand the pool of VIN numbers included in this recall as it appears to not be localized to the VINs previously identified.

My vin was not included in. The Fix Side Marker Light Software Glitch. Safety Recall Code: 97CB. There-??s a lot of vehicles same model and year like mine with This safety issue. Audi refuses to fix it because my vin it-??s not included in this fix. They will replace my whole lights for $9,500 this is insane. I will like to drive a safe car without having to pay for something that it-??s actually a defect. We yo too much for this cars and for them to be not held responsible. I don-??t feel safe driving my car but I can-??t afford $9,500 in repairs. We can-??t even fix it ourselves if we wanted to because it-??s not repairable it needs a new unit. I would like my vin to be included in this safety recall.

The front marker LED light bulbs in the headlight housing is gradually turning yellow. The LED light bulbs can't be replaced. They were originally white and now they are turning yellow. It is my understanding that only the side markers should be yellow. The front markers being yellow may be mistaken for the side markers and there distorting the width of the vehicle.

- Aurora, CO, USA

I have been receiving a marker light warning for both the left and the right marker lights. These warnings are intermittent but fairly persistent. The marker lights appear to be operating correctly. After a review of online forums this issue appears to epidemic in the 2017 Audi Q7. Audi has indicated the only way to fix the problem is a complete headlight replacement running between $4,000 to $6,000 per headlight depending on dealer. The failure of these sensors to read properly is a significant safety issue and should be the subject of a recall.

Vehicle is giving me a warning that the marker lights are not working. Dealership verifed that they are working, and have no issue. They are unable to clear warning unless they disabled the market lights. Warning keeps popping up ever so often on my dashboard becoming a distraction while driving.

- El Paso, TX, USA

Front right side marker light defective. This recall shows up for Audi Q7, 2017, however, when I run my VIN it does not come up as an affected vehicle. This is a safety issue, when the light does not illuminate the vehicle is less visible at night and increases risk of crash. My vehicle is: 2017 Audi Q7.

- Rochester , MN, USA

Issue appears to be similar to existing recall 97CB exterior side marker lights to which my year, make, and model is included, but by specific vehicle /VIN is not. Warning lamps are present. In a situation where the parking lights are switched on and the vehicle is locked, the side marker lights do not illuminate, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."). This could reduce vehicle visibility, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

- Columbia, MO, USA

Front right side market defective light and all lights seem to work. This seems to be a consistent problem on Audi forms and complaints. This should not be a owners issue as dealerships are claiming to replace the entire light for $6,000 which is ludicrous just for a defective side marker light. I don't believe they fixed the problem from the last recall of side marker light controls. This is a major road hazard.

- Battle Creek, MI, USA

Front right side marker is defective. There seems to be a recall for this exact issue for my exact make and model but Audi says the recall has already been done. I'm the 2nd owner so I don't know.
