Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The front passenger seat occupancy airbag sensor has failed. Consequently the front passenger airbag is turned off even if the seat is occupied. This is an ongoing problem with previous Mini's and bmw's and warrants a safety recall. This is an expensive repair and previous older model Mini's and bmw's have been recalled to fix this issue.”
