Seat Belts
Filed Nov 8, 201860,000 milesCA

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?

Air Bags

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.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
