Front right marker side light malfunction but the light seems to work at times. I see there was a recall on this issue but I don't find my vehicle under this recall.

Front side marker light it'd by canbus system as failed. Still illuminated, but resistance changed. 25 cent led, Audi says headlamp Assy need to be replaced ro $5100. Oh, and other side is about to go too. Design is non-compliant with NHTSA requirements for lighting (very early failures, often at.70k miles), places undo burden on consumers to comply to meet regulations of NHTSA. This consumer asks for recall to reimburse for costs to repair.

I have a 2017 Q7 with the "front Left side marker light defective" warning. However I saw that there was a limited recall 97CB or 16V6420000 for this issue with 2017 Audi Q7 vehicles, but it's VIN specific and my VIN isn't included. Looks like the issue is much more widespread than the Vins they included for the recall as I saw online that lot of people have the same issue in this model. Please help!

When driving into a dimly lit area the car rings and displays the message front left side marker defective. The warning stays on for some time and then goes away before returning again. This continued for a few weeks. The car then experienced a full electrical system malfunction, doors unlocking and locking randomly while driving before dinging repeatedly with multiple warnings displayed in the dash and then stalled in the middle of the road. The vehicle would not shift into park. Multiple warnings continued to ding and flash in the dash. After being turned off for 20 minutes the car was able to be started shifted into Drive and driven with no warnings displayed. The car was taken to the dealership for diagnostics which were performed, but with no electrical system malfunction displayed. The left side marker warning was still on, but the dealer said there was no fix for this. The following month the car was taken for 60,000 mile service. At this time the dealer advised the fix for left side market was replacing the entire headlamp fixture. The service was declined. When the vehicle left the dealer the cruise control was on and would not turn off. After turning off the car and turning it back on the cruise control was off. After driving a short distance the speed control warning dinged and displayed and the cruise control was back on. The orange engine light was also displayed although there was no written warning for this.

I have a 2017 Audi Q7. There is a recall for the problem I am having but my VIN is not included and Audi cannot do the repair unless my VIN is included. The recall is 97CB. When my auto lights option is turned on, at completely random times, I get warning light that states: FRONT LEFT SIDE MARKER LIGHT DEFECTIVE SEE OWNERS MANUAL. The lights are functional and working (as verified by dealer in 2019) but there is some software glitch and Audi can't fix it because my VIN isn't part of the recall. It is startling when the sensor alert goes off. How do I get my vin added to recall 97CB? Thank you

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.

Side Marker lights stopped working. Audi had a recall on the A4 and a few other models. Not the Q7. Dealer said it would cost between $4,000 to $5,000 to fix. The Audi forum has around 28 pages of owners complaining about this same issue. The warning light comes on with a chime about every 10 minutes and can drive you crazy. The warning states that the light is defective but Audi does not care. Invoice 287221 04/13/2022 estimate to fix $5111.75. side marker will light up with diagnostic tool attached. quits when tool removed.
