This vehicle was purchased in 2011 and has required a multitude of maintenance /repairs due to manufacturer issues. The dealership of original purchase was incredibly responsible and took responsibility of these repairs. I moved to another area two years ago and right about this time, the front passenger air bag light began to randomly go on and off indicating that the air bag would not be engaged. The light will go on and off when in motion or just idling. This has continued to go unresolved as I tend to most often ride alone and don't have additional $$$ for the repair at this time. I did just finish replacing the clutch in this vehicle which currently only has 51K miles on it.

Takata recall. I live in newport, wa. I am approximately 6 - 7 hours from a MINIdealer in seattle/Tacoma. My closest city is spokane, wa. I have a great certified mechanic who does all of my repair work brandon martin of martin's auto service, spokane, wa, who is competent at working on MINIcoopers. It is unreasonable to require that I make a trip to seattle for this repair. I am willing to have the repair done here and be reimbursed, but MINIwill not allow that. They are requiring extreme travel and even an overnight stay to abide by their own recall regulations. They do seem to make the rules to suit themselves; because if I had made this repair prior to the recall, they would have reimbursed me, but now I cannot have the repair done without extreme added expenses incurred. Due to the circumstances of excess travel, I respectfully request that I am able to make the recall repair and be reimbursed for the cost. This is necessary for my safety. Due to the company's unreasonable rule, I am at risk.
