In owners' words

What TT Roadster owners report

Recent seat belts complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2018 AUDI TT SERIES HAVE BEEN PLACED TOO LOW ON THE FRAME SUCH THAT THERE IS A STRONG TENDENCY FOR THE SEAT BELTS TO RIDE DOWN FROM THE OCCUPANT'S SHOULDER THEREBY CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT.
