| Seven months pregnant and locked inside of my 2003 mini cooper s because the cables inside the door froze. husband had to pull me out of the car via the driver's window because there was no other way out. able to initially get in and out of car but within a few minutes, the doors froze and i was stuck. talked to mini usa and dealership and both said never heard of it even though numerous blogs and complaints exist for mini cooper s made before 04/2004. very worried in case of emergency and me and my unborn child need to get out. also have had my two and four year old girls in the car with me. fortunately didn't happen when they were present. *tr | |||
