2009 MINI Cooper Clubman Air bags Problems

“Passenger seat occupancy sensor has stopped working during all states of vehicle operation. Upon starting the car and while driving, the passenger airbag light turns on regardless of whether or not a passenger is in the seat. If I were to get into a crash, my passenger seat airbag will not activate, leaving the passenger in the car unprotected.”

“My son has a 2009 Mini Cooper Clubman and the airbag light stays on there is a recall on the 2008 Mini coopers but not the 2009 the code for the air bag light is the same as the 2008 code I am wondering why the 2009 Mini is not recalled also”

“I purchased this car new. After the original warranty expired, I experienced issues with the front passenger seat occupancy mat. Due to the high cost to repair, and that Mini had a recall on their 2008 models for this same issue, I chose not to repair it and now have 157,000 miles on the car. I assumed Mini would eventually include the 2009 models in the recall. Mini has now sent me a letter offering an extended warranty for this issue on my car. However, since I actually drive my car and have over 120,000 miles, Mini will not repair my car under this extended warranty. …”

“The passenger side airbag sensor has been going off indicating that the airbag will not deploy even when someone of normal adult size (160lbs) is in the front passenger seat. I have contacted Mini and they refuse to fix it unless I pay for the costly repair, even though they have been slowly recalling other models for the same problem. The improperly functioning mat in my Mini Cooper Clubman may cause the passenger frontal air bag to be inactive when the seat is occupied, and in the event of a crash, the air bag will not deploy, increasing the passenger's risk of injury. …”

“The passenger air bag is active with no person in the seat, it go on and off every time. I desactive but go on again. The no active the air bag when somebody is in the seat and goes on and off.”
