Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Seat occupant sensor is bad. There is a recall for the same thing on other years and models, but not the 2012 Mini cooper countryman, which makes very little sense being that its a common problem as well as being that its the same problem. The airbag sensor goes on and off which can cause injury or death when the car is in motion.”
