problem #3

Cooper

  • 80,000 miles
Passenger air bag sensor will not reset and light is on continuously. Don't know if system is working or not.. no fix available and no parts available anywhere. Dealer says, try in a month. From what I read earlier models were recalled do to this defect. Why not all of them. No one can tell me that the car is safe to drive.

problem #1

Oct 012010

Cooper 4-cyl

  • 5,900 miles
The passenger airbag off light comes on with a passenger in the car. The light comes on and remains on at random intervals. I brought the car to the only MINIdealer in Colorado and they told me that they couldn't duplicate the fault and that there wasn't a fault code in the computer. I asked to speak to the service manager and he told me that this was normal and that my 130 lb. Wife didn't weigh enough to warrant the SRS system in the car.
