“My Mini Cooper Clubman 2011 started giving me passenger airbag light signal off, took it to a Mini cooper mechanic, they said it's a very expensive repair. Several other people online seems to be having similar issue, Mini really needs to work on the airbag seat sensor”

NHTSA complaint #10983541, filed 2017-05, 51,450 miles

“We bought our car, a Mini Cooper Clubman 2011, used in 2012, with approximately 32k miles on it. There were issues that the Mini dealer took care of without issue, but for the last 4+ years we have been dealing with the passenger airbag warning lights remaining on. When it first occurred it would intermittently go on and off with reason or known cause. We contacted the dealer who said this was not a warranty or recall issue, but would gladly make necessary repairs for a costly 2k. We do not have 2k to spend on a life saving feature that was included as a standard feature. …”

NHTSA complaint #11024205, filed 2017-09, 40,000 miles

“I've just gotten a very common air bag seat mat sensor code (93c1) that Mini had a limited recall on - but alas my car did not get the code until it was outside the parameters of that repair program. What makes it worse is that the fix is over $1000 and there's very little concrete info on the actual danger (or not) of driving around with this code active. I've spend the better part of 2 days researching how to fix this & I'm still uncertain as to what to fully do.”

NHTSA complaint #11610832, filed 2024-08

“Set Belt and Airbag Warning lights came light up for no reason and the computer got a hard code that cannot be reset (ACSM - Crash Safety Module, 93C3, OC3). This will be put in a Safety Risk if the car gets in an accident.”
