Description of the problem	The car has gone back to a mini dealer 4 times since we've owned the car because of the air bag light on. Little did we realize when we took it on a trip to florida, the whole system was shut down. Took it to a mini dealer in fla. On feb. 15, 2012.....$2126. 04 later. Drove it home to have the light go on again , took it to mini of bedford, nh on 5/28/13, picked it up on 6/4/2013.....$1527. 09 later. Drove it home on 6/4/2013, only to have the light go back on approx 6/10/2013. Aaa had to use a ramp truck to bring it back to bedford, nh..... Because the drivers seat tipped over backwards while driving & almost caused a serious collision. Also there is a new problem with steering wheel. Both later issues occurred after they had torn it apart in dealership & kept it for a week "fixing the problem". Now it sits at mini of bedford..& they are telling us another airbag sensor has to be replaced... It need a new seat.... And they're not sure about the steering wheel, because they can't test until they put in a new seat. Everything is on hold at the moment...#1 we can't keep paying for shoddy workmanship...#2 we are very concerned about the safety of this car. Have been reading some websites & see stories similar to this air bag problem.
