2002 Volkswagen Beetle seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I own a 2002 vw beetle. The seat belt latch became defective, thus turning the airbag system in my car off. I have 80k miles on my car and the repair cost me over $350. Vw is refusing to pay for this vital safety issue stating they are not required to repair out of warranty items. Isn't there a law that requires auto manufacturers to repair defective seat belts? Do I have any recourse for getting this paid for? Thanks.
