After talking to the Audi dealer near home they said, yeah not working but sorry out of warranty, I asked is this a safety issue for this car? They said no! Its not! I am not sure about that. Is that ok a seat belt in rear seat hardly used by me break so easy?! I have seen many parents use this seat belt to secure there child's car seat to the car's seat? Thank you.”
