Airbag light is showing that passenger airbag is off even though my 100 lbs daughter is sitting in the front seat. I've actually had a 2009 MINICooper S, 2011 MINICooper S and now my current 2013 MINIjohn cooper works with the same exact tail light issue. The driver side tail light burnt out in the exact same way on all 3 cars. My vehicle was stationary and in motion when the both issues occurred.

The cup holder leaks if there is any fluid spilled in it and shorts out an electrical component that controls the gear shift knob. Even the smallest amount of liquid can cause this.

Cooper 4-cyl

  • 3,400 miles
The window on the driver's side stopped working. It is an automatic window with a one-touch feature. At first, the one-touch feature stopped working. Then nothing worked to get the window to go up or down. Upon pressing the button that controls this window, the window did nothing and a faint clicking sound could be heard coming from the driver's door/footwell area. I took this car to the dealership where I bought it. They kept it for 3 business days. The window worked when I picked up the car and continued to work for about a week and a half. Then the window stopped working altogether. I returned the car to the same dealership on July 16, 2013. The dealership still has my car, and the window has still not been fixed.
