Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2009 MINI COOPER S. THE OVERHEAD PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SIZED PASSENGER RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND I HAVE WITNESSED IT ABOUT EIGHT TIMES BETWEEN 10/2/08 AND 11/26/08. WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, IT STAYS ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO MINI SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON THREE OCCASIONS FOR A TOTAL OF 21 DAYS IN THE SHOP AND THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER CANNOT IDENTIFY AN ERROR SO THE PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM AND MAY CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IF NOT ADDRESSED. *TR
