Description of the problem | I just found this web site and after reading through the various issues other people are having with their mini, i decided i should also go ahead and share my issues as well. Back in april of 2004, i was hit on the front passenger side by a honda accord traveling about 50 miles an hour and my airbags failed to deploy. I never had a check engine light or an airbag light for that matter but it's a scary thought not having your airbags deploy, especially at such a high speed of impact. I used to be in love with mini's but i have been so "soured" by them as of late with all of the issues i have been having. My automatic transmission is shot and because of that, i can't even start my car. |
