| For one year my 2007 mini cooper s has had a defect in the passenger airbag system as it disables when a passenger is seated and the vehicle is either stopped or in motion. *tr | |||

| The passenger seat airbag goes off (the indicator light signals that the passenger side airbag is off), when a 105 pound adult woman is seated in the passenger seat. i was told by my local mini cooper dealer that the seat does not sense someone in the passenger seat unless they are 115 lbs or more. i feel that this is dangerous since there are plenty of adult females that weigh less than 115 lbs. i have taken this issue to mini corporate and they referred me to nhtsa. i spoke with an airbag representative at nhtsa who told me that the testing conditions for mini cooper 2007 were done with a 108 lb female. i am frequently the passenger in this vehicle and do not feel safe knowing that the airbags are off. in the event that my husband and i are in an accident requiring airbags, they will not deploy on the passenger side. *tr | |||

| Passenger airbag sensor does not sense passenger. light illuminates stating passenger airbags off. dealer has replaced sensor seat mat twice and still does has not fixed the problem. after the last fix the mini tech service advisor sent home with me adding a statement to my file that if you are a certain size/weight and or move in seat light could come on. i do not move around in seat and i my size is not the issue. is currently at dealer since i had to go through bmw to get a rep to look at. as of today car is not fixed. there were problems with these as told to me by the service advisor and parts manager at bmw and my first seat mat i had to wait 3 months for because of backorder and availability since so many were wrong. my number is large in the # of failures category since everytime i get in the car it takes about 3 -6 failures before i can trigger it to work since may 2007 which is when i bought the car new. *tr | |||
