“Takata recall. I live in newport, wa. I am approximately 6 - 7 hours from a Mini dealer in seattle/tacoma. My closest city is spokane, wa. I have a great certified mechanic who does all of my repair work brandon martin of martin's auto service, spokane, wa, who is competent at working on Mini-coopers. It is unreasonable to require that I make a trip to seattle for this repair. I am willing to have the repair done here and be reimbursed, but Mini will not allow that. They are requiring extreme travel and even an overnight stay to abide by their own recall regulations. …”

NHTSA complaint #11130381, filed 2018-09, 90,000 miles

“This vehicle was purchased in 2011 and has required a multitude of maintenance /repairs due to manufacturer issues. The dealership of original purchase was incredibly responsible and took responsibility of these repairs. I moved to another area two years ago and right about this time, the front passenger air bag light began to randomly go on and off indicating that the air bag would not be engaged. The light will go on and off when in motion or just idling. This has continued to go unresolved as I tend to most often ride alone and don't have additional $$$ for the repair at this time. …”
