Consumer content from all ARD broadcasters can now be found here on the channel ????. ----------- UPDATE ON THE MERCEDES AIRBAG PROBLEM (as of August 20, 2024) Mercedes had made the family an offer to have the car examined and thoroughly checked by a Mercedes expert in a Mercedes-owned workshop. After everything that had happened up to that point, the family declined, citing the fact that the inspection was not objective and therefore not neutral. A few weeks after the broadcast and the Mercedes "offer", they informed us that they had sold the car and bought a new car from a different brand. That means the case is closed for them. Of course, they informed the buyer - a car repair shop - about the airbag problems. UPDATE ON THE WEINTOR (as of August 20, 2024) The Trademark and Patent Office has still not made a decision regarding the "Whisky Sinfonie" trademark. The dispute between Deutsches Weintor eG and Ms Vogler regarding the Leipzig Wine Symphony remains unchanged. ------------ AIRBAG OPENS: WHO PAYS FOR THE DAMAGE? An airbag can save lives if it opens in an accident. But it can also become a risk of accident if it opens for no reason. This is what happened to a spectator in a nine-year-old Mercedes Benz B model. After inspecting the vehicle, however, Mercedes assumes that there must have been an impact and that the airbag therefore opened correctly. The driver must therefore cover the costs of the repair herself. FRAUD WITH CREDIT CARD Credit cards are practical, but can be a risk: fraudsters have discovered a new rip-off scam. We explain how it works – and how you can protect yourself. DISPUTE OVER TRADEMARK RIGHTS Gunda Vogler has turned her hobby into a career. She has been selling her own wine for several years. And to offer her customers something, she even came up with her own label: "Leipzig Wine Symphony". But then something happened that she never expected. PYUR: TROUBLE WITH CABLE TV, INTERNET, TELEPHONE PROVIDER After her mother died, the daughter wanted to cancel her cable TV, internet and telephone contract. Actually, she thought, it couldn't be that difficult and sent the company all the necessary documents. Then the trouble started.
