I scheduled 2 appointments with brian harris mini. They had my vehicle for around 8 hours and both times the replacement part was broken. Now all of my airbag lights are on and I don't even know if the driver airbag is functioning. They said they would call me as soon as another part came in and come pick up my vehicle so I didn't have to make arrangements to leave it there. I have not heard back from them in 2 weeks. I even contacted miniusa about this.

At about 64500 miles the passenger seat belt and air bag lights came on intermittently and shortly thereafter they stayed on. Local mechanic determined that the passenger seat switch was probably the culprit. And located a technical service bulletin for this problem. A call to keeler motor car co. Said the bags would work as designed, but wouldn't put that in writing and furthered "clarified" her answer by adding "as far as I know". A second call from a different person said if the lights are on then the bags would probably not work. But couldn't tell me if just passenger side would or wouldn't work or all the air bags.

The passenger side airbag light will not turn off. Seat cannot detect passenger and disable airbag. There is a recall going on, but it did not include my VIN number. Mini USA representative gave no answer, no timeline, no additional information. Just told me to wait. I cannot believe that's bmw/mini.

Passenger seat air bag warning indicator shows air bag disabled intermittently, even when seat is occupied by full sized adult (over 140 pounds). This means my passenger is at risk of severe injury in case of crash, as the air bag is disabled. In addition to the above, the light is off and on intermittently even when the seat is not occupied. Ditto if a 5 pound lunch box is on the seat. Bmw/mini refuses to correct this significant safety defect in minis, even though they are making free repairs for the same problem in many bmws of similar years, and have even made an warranty extension of many years and unlimited miles for affected bmws.
