Brakes were firmly applied to avoid a collision, the 3rd row seatbelt did not engage and the passenger was thrust forward and hit their head on the 2nd row seat. Took the vehicle to Audi for inspection and they found the locking mechanism on the belt was faulty and replaced it.

The contact owns a 2018 Audi Q7. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the seat belt on the passenger-??s side the second row started to make a clicking sound and tightened independently around the contact's son. The contact-??s son reported that he felt pressure on his chest and shoulder as the seat belt tightened but was not injured. The contact stated that the seat belt failure had become a constant issue and had stopped using the seat belt. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure.

Stationary vehicle: For the last 3-4 week the seat belt does not want to fasten. I have to really work with it to fasten. Also, it is difficulty to un-fasten once it is fastened. This problem is intermittent and is getting hung more frequently. I ask the Audi dealer in melbourne to check the seat belt about 5- months ago. They said they could not reproduce the problem with the seat belt. But to me this is a real safety problem.
