| While driving the airbag warning light came on and passenger air bag light turned off. at the same time the seat belt light came on. had both checked and when car was returned both lights were out. passenger seat bottom was replaced. i was told that this is common problem with the seat bottom. no problem noted for the seat belt light. 1/2 mile from dealer both warning lights again turned on and the passenger air bag light turned off. at this point i am not sure if the car is safe to drive or not. | |||

| I purchased at 2006 mini cooper automatic in july 2010. october 2010 i had the kids in my car, key in my hand, car turned off and in park. the car started to roll backwards, dragging me and i had to pull the emergency brake to get the car to stop rolling and not roll into on-coming traffic. i was worried my kids would be hit. mini usa claimed nothing was wrong. now i am told my back brakes are worn, i am scared they did not look at my vehicle properly, did not take me seriously and am scared my car will roll again. i always park my car and pull the emergency brake i never leave it just in park. i need someone to make sure these cars and my car is truly safe. mini usa and the dealer that certified my car have both failed to take this dangerous manner seriously. i could of been seriously hurt and my children killed by on coming traffic. | |||
