Since November 20, 2022, my low milage 2010 MINI has Passenger Airbag Warning light in the roof near the mirror and dashboard. The OBD II scanner show that "ACSM/MRS: Seat-occupancy detector, passenger." I contacted dealer Herb Chambers MINI of Boston. I was told no recall for my car. After I searched on internet, I am aware that a lot of customers have same Passenger Airbag issue. They can't afford the high repair cost so that they have to look for alternative solutions beyond recalls, such as Passenger Occupancy Sensor Bypass, modifying system parameters on car computer by themself. All these solutions are obviously potential dangerous for MINI cooper customers. I request that National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate MINI cooper Passenger Airbag issue and ask MINI USA to recall defective parts.

My passenger side seat sensor for the airbag has malfunctioned. I have heard of similar issue from other people. I am also aware that this problem was a recall fix for previous year MINIcoopers. This fault has caused numerous warning lights to stay on all the time when the vehicle is turned on.

The airbag light for passenger seat has come on and will not extinguish. The light remains on whether there is someone sitting in the passenger seat or not. The light is on when stationary or when I am driving, and whether there is a passenger in the seat or not.
