Tl* the contact owns a 2011 mini cooper clubman. While driving approximately 40 MPH and making a left turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn, the accelerator pedal failed to respond, and all of the gauges on the instrument panel went blank without warning. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and powered off. The contact rolled down the driver side window; however, both front windows began to go up and down without warning until the contact removed the key fob from the ignition.
My mini cooper clubman 2011 started giving me passenger airbag light signal off, took it to a mini cooper mechanic, they said it's a very expensive repair. Several other people online seems to be having similar issue, mini really needs to work on the airbag seat sensor
