WE BOUGHT A USED AUDI Q7. IT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES. THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT LATCH. I HAVE CONTACTED AUDI, AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. I HAVE READ THAT THE NHTSA MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME HAVE IT FIXED WITHOUT CHARGE. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS POSSIBLE?

I WOULD LIKE TO BUY A NEW AUDI SUV OR OTHER LUXURY BRAND AUTO THIS YEAR OR 2017 WITH COMPLETE DISCLOSURE FROM THE AUTOMAKER THAT THE SAID AUTO DOES NOT HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG INSTALLED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHOM I MAY CONTACT.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2016 Audi Q7 verdict →
