Consumer Description

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SIGN WAS COME OUT, EVEN THOUGH PASSENGER IS SEATING AND GETTING SEAT BELT. ANY DAMAGE DIDN'T BE GOTTON ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT IS JUST SUDDENLY APPEARED. IT WILL MAKE SERIOUS SITUATION WHEN I GET ACCIDENT. AIRBAG IS REALLY RELATED WITH SAFETY. I STRONGLY BELIVE THAT IT HAS TECHNICAL PROBLEM AT MINI. THIS PROBLEM WILL COME OUT MORE AND PEOPLE MAY BE INJURED BY THIS PROBLEM. I SAW ARTICLE ABOUT AIRBAG PROBLEM AT MINI, AND MINI MADE A PROGRAM THAT RECALLS TO FIX AIRBAG MAT. HOWEVER, IT AFFECTS TO UNTIL 2008MINI. I DON'T THINK THIS PROBLEM ONLY AFFECTS TO UNTIL 2008 MINI. BWM MINI HAVE TO INVESTIGATE NEWER MODEL AND RECALL THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG AS WELL.
