Cooper S

  • 31,000 miles
After the car went for an oil change, the seat belt sensor (beeper) stopped working. MINIwould not pay for this to be replaced. Said if the seat belt sensor was not working, the airbags might not deploy. Very costly repair (computer system replacement). Shouldn't safety features (required by the government) be fixed, without charge, for the life of the vehicle?
