Four problems related to air bag light on have been reported for the 2006 Mini Cooper Convertible. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The passenger side airbag light will not turn off. Seat cannot detect passenger and disable airbag. There is a recall going on, but it did not include my VIN number. Mini USA representative gave no answer, no timeline, no additional information. Just told me to wait. I cannot believe that's BMW/Mini.
Passenger seat air bag warning indicator shows air bag disabled intermittently, even when seat is occupied by full sized adult (over 140 pounds). This means my passenger is at risk of severe injury in case of crash, as the air bag is disabled. In addition to the above, the light is off and on intermittently even when the seat is not occupied. Ditto if a 5 pound lunch box is on the seat. BMW/Mini refuses to correct this significant safety defect in Minis, even though they are making free repairs for the same problem in many bmws of similar years, and have even made an warrantee extension of many years and unlimited miles for affected bmws.
When you start the car the passenger seat belt light and air bag light remains on, whether or not someone is in the seat or not. The light stays on, I visited the dealership the fix cost $1241. Why is this happening. Dealer should fix this error.
Passenger airbag lights remain on.
