Example complaints

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

“I have a 2009 Mini cooper s. The overhead passenger airbag disable warning light comes on when there is an adult sized passenger riding in the vehicle. This problem occurs intermittently and I have witnessed it about eight times between 10/2/08 and 11/26/08. When the warning light comes on, it stays on for the duration of the trip. I have taken my vehicle to Mini service department on three occasions for a total of 21 days in the shop and their diagnostic computer cannot identify an error so the problem remains unresolved. …”
