All Unknown Or Other Complaints
This vehicle just went over 66,000 miles and the airbag warning light started appearing. An independent mechanic and dealership both diagnosed and said it's a defective front passenger seat occupant detection mat and I'd need to replace the entire system/seat. Several other vehicles with the same part have recalls however my specific 2008 model is not included in this recall. I believe it should be included in the recall as this is clearly a known issue and an obvious safety system/design flaw. No sort of crash or collision occurred and now the vehicle will not pass safety inspection and is unusable because of this until I spent roughly $2000 on the repair.
I PURCHASED MY 2008 MINI COOPER 3 YEARS AGO AND IT'S CURRENTLY AROUND 78K MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND POSSIBLY ENGINE DAMAGE. HOWEVER MINI COOPER USA DOESN'T WANT TO REIMBURSE THE MONEY I'D PAY OUT OF POCKET MYSELF.
SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. NO IMPACT OR OTHER INCIDENT. SIMPLY DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 85 IN SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA. LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND, COVERED IN GLASS WITH HANGING SUNROOF. REPORTED INCIDENT TO 911 THEN TO CHP. NO ASSIGNABLE CAUSE.
