| 2006 | AIR BAGS | THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY LIT ON MY 2006 MINI COOPER. INITIALLY THE LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENTLY ON; HOWEVER NOW IT REMAINS PERMANENTLY LIGHT. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER OC3 MAT IS FAULTY AND WILL BE REQUIRE A $1,000+ FIX. INTERNET SEARCHES HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ON SOME VEHICLES, EVEN AFTER BEING REPAIRED WITH NEW PARTS. ADDITIONALLY, BMW, THE PARENT COMPANY OF MINI, HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR BMW VEHICLES AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. MINI OFTEN USES BMW PARTS IN THEIR VEHICLES SO IT IS POSSIBLE AND QUITE LIKELY THAT SIMILAR PARTS WERE USED. THIS IS A GENUINE SAFETY ISSUE AND ONE THAT IS WIDE SPREAD WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. *TR |
| 2009 | AIR BAGS | I HAVE A MINI COOPER 2009 WHICH TODAY MARKS A YEAR OF PURCHASE, FOR ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS HAS BEEN LEADING THE WARRANTY SERVICE DUE TO FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAG PASSENGER AND THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE USING. UNFORTUNATELY TO GET THE CAR TO SERVICE NEVER CAN DIAGNOSE THE FAULT. *TR |
