Cooper S S S/C 1.6L

  • Manual transmission
  • 31,000 miles

When you're not seated ABSOLUTELY in the right position the passenger airbag light comes on, which means the airbag is disengaged. The dash airbag light comes on/off randomly. The wife wasn't having it, so we got it fixed at the only place I would trust for this sort of work, the dealership, which charged an insane $1,400 because they only sell the entire bottom seat cushion. In my case, it was English leather, which is pricey.
