Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 MINI COOPER. THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED AROUND 66,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG AND BOTH DOOR SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BATTERY CABLE AT A COST OF $4000.00. SOUNDS AS IF BMW STILL HAS REAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THEIR CARS AND ARE STICKING IT TO CONSUMERS TO FIX IT INSTEAD OF FIXING THESE PROBLEMS THEMSELVES. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. *TR
