Consumer Description

THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" ALARM LIGHTS CAME ON ON BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER PANEL AND THE LIGHT ABOVE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. WHILE I'D HAD AN ADULT PASSENGER EARLIER IN THE DAY, THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED AT THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF, TO TEST THE BAG, OR TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SEE BY DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MINI COOPERS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SEE NHTSA BULLETIN NUMBERS SI M-65-02-0 AND 720106. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY MINI COOPER USA RATHER THAN PAID FOR BY THE CONSUMER. *TR
