What owners wrote
Passenger airbag light off comes on and off regularly, have repeatedly reported problem to dealer. Was in car accident, front on collision over 30 MPH, neither airbag deployed. New warning came on stating problems with airbag system, dealer said there was no problem. Warning lights keep coming on, have reported problem to dealer, waiting on replacement part.
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.
