Filed Nov 8, 2018 · Seat belts · 60,000 miles · CA

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 federal safety agency may be able to help me have it fixed without charge. Is this something that is possible?

Filed Oct 5, 2016 · Airbags · NC

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.
