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?
