Front passenger airbag sensor failed. Display says the airbag will not deploy.

We bought our car, a MINICooper clubman 2011, used in 2012, with approximately 32K miles on it. There were issues that the MINIdealer took care of without issue, but for the last 4+ years we have been dealing with the passenger airbag warning lights remaining on. When it first occurred it would intermittently go on and off with reason or known cause. We contacted the dealer who said this was not a warranty or recall issue, but would gladly make necessary repairs for a costly 2K. We do not have 2K to spend on a life saving feature that was included as a standard feature. Life saving equipment should not be a maintenance issue but rather a manufacturer responsibility.

My MINICooper clubman 2011 started giving me passenger airbag light signal off, took it to a MINIcooper mechanic, they said it's a very expensive repair. Several other people online seems to be having similar issue, MINIreally needs to work on the airbag seat sensor

The front passenger seat occupant detection system disabled. It disables the airbag system. This is a safety issue that has plagued earlier models.
