Two problems related to air bag have been reported for the 2007 Mini Cooper S. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Front passenger air bag detection mat became inoperable at about 60,000 miles. My car is mfg 4 months outside of the recall time frame yet this very same mfg date is well within the "convertible models" recall date. I feel the "non-convertible models" recall time frame should be re-evaluated because there are too many of us with this very same problem. When I took my car to Mini to be fixed they told me they've seen many vehicles outside of the official recall dates with this problem.
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.
