Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased car from a private party. The rear seat was removed for a custom audio system. I have the seats but they never gave me the rear seat, seat belts. Is it the sellers' responsibility to provide them? You can imagine, I feel cheated, as I plan on pulling the audio and re-installing the seat.”
NHTSA complaint #10567392, filed 2014-03, 6,700 miles“The passenger side seat sensor goes on and off when a passenger is seated. Light indicators and alarms sound intermittently. Passenger air bags are turned off when passenger is seated and car is moving. If there is no passenger this does not occur.”
NHTSA complaint #11064961, filed 2018-01, 28,000 miles“The passenger seat has a pressure mat built into that has failed and it is causing the srs/airbag light to stay lit. This is turning off the passenger side airbag off which causes the passenger to not have airbag protection. This is a very common problem on all 2005 up Mini coopers.”
NHTSA complaint #10682647, filed 2015-02, 87,608 miles“Restraint System Malfunction Fault in passenger-restraint system effecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Having to replace passenger seat or sensor to indicate I have a passenger so the airbag will deploy. It looks like there may have been a recall for this in the past according to an article I found, but my VIN does not come up as needing this item replaced. Cost is approximately $800.”
NHTSA complaint #11547285, filed 2023-09“2007 mini cooper s airbag light with warning on navigation screen saying seat belt tensioner or belt force limiter has a problem and passenger airbag is off. Odometer is 76,000 when problem started.”
