| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 10 year old daughter received a serious burn on her leg from the exhaust of my mini cooper s. the double exhaust is located in the center back of the car and extends past the edge of the vehicle. it is very difficult to get items out of the trunk area without touching the exhaust. the exhaust in located in the exact location where one stands to retrieve cargo. i have burned my leg twice unloading groceries. it takes a constant effort to remember to avoid the exhaust. this is a serious design flaw that needs to be addressed. *jb add picture *121108 cw updated 12/11/08 |
