Back in October I paid out $1,700 to fix the sensor for the passenger-side airbag in the Mini. That didn’t even tell me whether the airbag would actually work in case it was needed.

Today the airbag indicator light came on, but it didn’t specify it was the passenger side one. Nope, it just gave me the idiot light. In order to determine which airbag alarm is actually going off I can see the dealer having to check all of them at some ridiculous price.

Mini is owned by BMW these days. The cars are built in England, but it’s German engineering behind it. That’s supposed to be the best in the world, right?

Horsepucky.
