R55 airbag warning light

the saga continues........
the dealership has now had my clubbie for a week agian now, they called today and said that they replaced the parts (right front airbag) started up the car and the light was still on. At this point the tech has no idea what the problem is and has "put a call in". the Service rep says that they are going to have to trace out all the wiring. It's frustrating and very disappointing... I've had my car for a totoal of 20 weeks, 2 of which it has spent back in the shop - so that's 1/10th of the time I've had it. No one else having this problem?

I've had my Clubman for a month and had about 3 occasions of passenger airbag light 'malfunctions'. Once, my wife was sitting in the passenger seat and the light stayed on. Turned car off and restarted and same problem... Next day everything was fine. Another time I was carrying groceries in the seat and the light DIDN'T come on as it should (i.e. enough mass in the seat to be a child passenger in the seat but not an adult...) I'm drawing a blank right now on other occasions but there has been at least one other time it acted up... I'm making an appointment to get it looked at (along with a couple other small items) in the next few weeks. Still love driving my Clubman though...

I have a airbag warning light on and the seatbelt warning light on. I took my clubbie to this dealer this weekend. The diagnostic showed a defective airbag sensor. The dealer told me they have to keep the car and get the part from Germany. I started to argue against them keeping the car, but my sister, who is a brilliant scientist, and used to work in reliability for a company that made airbag sensors, told me that when the sensor is bad, not only will your airbags likely not deploy in an accident, but your airbags can deploy while you are motoring along! She said the company had a lawsuit from a family in Europe because the woman driving was killed as a result of the airbag being deployed. Needless to say I left the car and will wait for the new sensor to arrive, unhappily driving my loaner Chevy Equinox!

If you are getting the airbag light + seatbelt light + the passanger airbag light OFF ... airbag sensor is fried

My passenger airbag light does not show as OFF but I do have the other two lights. 16 days without your MINI - Ouch! I hope mine doesn't take that long, I'll need therapy! Right now I'm driving a Chevy Equinox they rented for me. No fun at all!
