Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2007 Mini Cooper

Thermostast housing replacement and water pipe. Cooling system needs to be flush. Engine rebuild due over heating. Oxygen sensor replacement. Timing chain replacement. Thermostast replacement.

Passenger occupancy airbag sensor failed, Mini has offered a recall for similar models but only the convertible and not the hard-top; however this is a problem for the non convertibles. It's incredibly unsafe for the sensor to go off and not be reset. I would like Mini to recall and repair all models with that sensor that fails, not just convertible models.

Passenger seat mat sensor on 2007 Mini Cooper faulted. There was a recall on BMW and Mini Coopers except for this base model. Dealer said it would be $1800. To fix I would think the parts for this car are the same. Should be recalled.

The "pass air bag off" with seat icon/2 light (located on the driver's side above the rear view mirror) began to come on intermittently with or without a passenger in the front passenger seat when the odometer read about 50,000 miles. The light came on permanently at around 70,000 miles. The dealership checked, did not find a loose connection, and said the sensor needed to be replaced. We contacted the Mini corporation but were informed that although there was a recall for other 2007 Mini Cooper passenger seat sensors for the air bag system, there was no recall for the two-door hardtop. We replaced the passenger seat occupancy sensor for the air bag system at our own expense.

While driving on the street with my wife the "passenger air bag off" light came on and would not go off immediately. Since then it happens sporadically without any notice. I took it into the dealer and they said it was the passenger seat airbag sensor and it would cost $1300 to repair it. I know there was a recall for the 2007 Cooper s but not for the 2007 Mini Cooper. It seems to me the same part could be have been used in the same model year car.

I moved the passenger seat forward to let someone into the back seat. The passenger air bag sensor light started to go on and off later that day indicating that that the air bag was not on for the passenger seat. Now the light is on constantly. I saw on the internet that over 90,000 of these sensors have been recalled including the 2007 Mini convertible, but not my hardtop. Why is my model not included in the recall? this is a little car and I am afraid to have anyone sit in the passenger seat with the airbag disengaged.

2007 Mini Cooper with 31,000 miles. I am usually the only one in the car. On this day my husband and a friend were with me. We moved the passenger seat up to allow the third person to get in the back seat. Later in the day the light on the dash which signifies that the passenger airbag is turned off started going on and off. I thought maybe there was a loose wire under the seat, but was told by a mechanic that I needed a new airbag sensor. The part costs 1100. 00 and was ordered two months ago. I am still waiting. The light is on all the time now. Apparently, Mini has recalled over 90,000 cars with this same problem. The cars made in 2006 are included in the recall as well as 2007 convertibles. How many people have to report this problem for all 2007's to be included in the recall? this is an especially alarming problem because the Mini is such a small car. Luckily, we have two cars and I do not have to put anyone in the passenger seat until this is fixed.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Mini Cooper. The contact stated that when starting the vehicle the airbag fault light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed the passenger safety sensor mat needed to be replaced. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000. Sr.

The airbag sensor light came on for no apparent reason. It is really unfair for me as consumer if I have to repair a factory defect because there is no recall.

Hello, I understand that there has been a recall issued for certain Mini Coopers with faulty passenger air bag sensors. I am writing today because I have a 2007 Mini Cooper hardtop that has had a faulty passenger air bag sensor for over a year, however my specific car is not yet included in the recall because it is a hardtop, not a convertible, even though it is was produced in the same time span. Please, please, please let them know that they have not included all of the affected vehicles. My VIN number is wmwmf33577tt52250 thank you!.
