Rear lighting failure indication on Audi e-tron, quality issues?

Question

Hello, since yesterday I have another problem with my e-tron (after the tailgates and VAS), the error message tail light bulb failure comes up. The inspection on the vehicle showed that the right light of the license plate light is off and the red light bar on the tailgate in the left half has fallen out and the right half is blinking chaotically.

I had the report last week, after that it was gone for a few days. Have informed my service center - let's see what comes back.

I want to ask, did I make a mistake of buying e-tron, as this kind of problem in a brand new vehicle is very disappointing.

Answer 1

I've had this problem too, twice. The first time it was bad, because the light on the back right did not turn off at all ..... you are afraid that the battery will be empty in the morning (no matter which one, the 12 V or the power battery). But then it went off after switching on and off several times.

The problem always occurred after the car wash. I probably too eagerly aimed the light strip from below with the high-pressure washer, among other things to clean the trunk button. Not nice ... but I'm going to have to moderate myself with the pressure washer.

Didn't want to make a dealer appointment for it yet...

Answer 2

This is a known problem at Audi. Always seems to be the same. Right license plate light off and light bar flickers on the right. My dealer knew right away. Today the complete module is exchanged. For me, the problem started at around 10,000 km. The dealer said that after a certain mileage numerous e-trons come to the workshop with this problem.
