What owners wrote
The passenger seat air bag warning light is on all the time, indicating less than 25 lbs is on the seat, even though there is nothing on the seat.
Our 2006 mini cooper air bag sensor goes on and off. The dealership indicated the entire seat would need to be replaced as is an embedded sensor. This does appear to be a safety issue but the vehicle is not one of the recalled mini coopers.
