2009 MINI Cooper S Air bags Problems

“Passenger side airbag sensor. Light does not go off. Dealer advises this is a known problem and they extended warranty on it for 10 yrs but did not recall even though they know it's a defect. We purchased our 2009 Mini in oct 2008 so not covered by their extension. Shouldn't it be since they acknowledge problem?”

“I had an accident on 6-30-2016 where I lost control of my car due to hitting first a soft shoulder of the hwy. Sr145 travelling at a speed of approx. 50-55 MPH. I grazed a power pole on driver's side door and ran through three large wooden posts on a ranchers property. The car spun at an180 angle leaving me in the field facing the opposite direction for which I was headed. Not one airbag deployed on impact!!! …”

“I own a 2009 Mini cooper and the airbag and seatbelt warning lights come on whenever I get in the car. The light came on recently when I started the car and it now occurs every time I turn the motor on. I've been online researching the problem and discovered that this may mean that the airbags will not deploy if I have an accident. This appears to be a problem facing a number of Mini cooper owners and bmw has not resolved this problem after many complaints.”

“I have been getting the air bag warning light (in red) coming on while driving the car started in february, 2015. I've told that Mini/bmw is aware of this issue, but is not making any movement on establishing a safety recall on affected cars. Warning light comes on regardless of how many passengers are in the vehicle. Sometimes the light comes on and stays on, other times it cycles through on-off, with the audible warning, several times a minute.”

“I was involved in a multiple car accident. None of the air bags deployed and the seat belt did not hold me appropriately resulting in hitting the steering wheel with my face. I had head concussion and multiple face bruises, including a deep cut in my lip. Mini (bmw) is investigating.”
