Airbag light is showing that passenger airbag is off even though my 100 lbs daughter is sitting in the front seat. I've actually had a 2009 mini cooper s, 2011 mini cooper s and now my current 2013 mini john cooper works with the same exact tail light issue.

Vin: [xxx]airbag system malfunction warning lamp came on android stays on. Vehicle was being driven on interstate when the warning lamp came on. Odometer reading when the warning lamp came on was: 42630 miles. Called mini charleston of savannah and also mini customer service and was informed that theory is no recall for this particular vin despite other vin's of the same model being affected by an airbag sensor malfunction. Am now faced with the potential for the airbags to inadvertently deploy during normal driving, or the airbags not deploying in the event of a crash.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On saturday march 19th, 2016 i experienced a major vehicle malfunction with my 2013 mini paceman s. While traveling nb on the 15 freeway in the #1 or fast lane, i slowed for traffic to a stop, immediately the car temperature light turned on and within seconds it changed to the half engine light. During this time i was able to turn the steering wheel 3 times to attempt to move the vehicle out of traffic lanes to prevent injury and the car died. The vehicle rolled out of the fast lane onto the shoulder where i sat with 3 children inside the car and immediately called for a tow truck.while waiting for the tow truck a chp (california highway patrol) officer pulled up behind me and contacted me at the driver window which i had rolled down. He asked what happened with the car and i explained that it had died. He asked me to move it to a safer location and i explained that i couldn't. He asked me to get out and he got into the driver seat to attempt to get the car into neutral. He was able to, and he pushed it maybe 5 feet down the slight slope. He used the emergency break to stop it and left it there to wait for the tow truck. Lack of a check engine light on a car with common failure items such as 'leaking oil pump drive units' that allow the engine coolant to leak outshould have an indicator light to prevent this type of problem before the problem is huge and can't be fixed. When was i supposed to know that the coolant was leaking out?
I purchased a mini cooper s 2013 and noticed the car was hard to handle on the road at all times. The service department had told me that was normal for this type of car. I kept complaining and they finally took the car in to have it checked. They told me it the alignment was bad and the tires needed to be replaced. I was charged for the service, but i believe this was a manufacture defect because the car was like that from the time i drove it off the lot until the time of service. This, is a very serious matter if not only one car is sold like this.not to mention the whole engine was leaking oil and the backfiring .
Thermostat housing failed and leaked. Some vehicle owners have received a mini extended warranty for 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first. I had to pay for a replacement part and installation at a mini dealer.vehicle leaked coolant on garage floor and various parking spots.mini is reimbursing some owners for this repair. I would like my vin authorized for reimbursement.
Rear driver side tail light housing melted. Vehicle was in motion when tail light out indicator turned on.

The 2013 cooper s we started having issues about a year ago, where the car hesitated to accelerate, as it is usually described in the service history. What happens in real driving situations is that when you cruise at around 2,000 rpm and then decide to accelerate the car loses the power, completely! so basically, when you're on the freeway or on a two-way road and decide to overtake another vehicle, the mini will not only not accelerate, but just completely lose power for a second or two. It is an obvious safety concern. At the beginning it wasn't too frequent, but recently it started doing it all the time, despite the fact that the mini service replaced fuel injectors, performed some cleaning and also suggested to me to use a fuel additive with each fuel up. None of those things helped, the issues progressively started to get worse. It all started when the odometer was somewhere between 75 and 80 thousand miles. The vehicle is currently at around 97,000 miles therefore slowly reaching its warranty end (100,000 and/or 6 years). During my recent service appointment at mini of reno i insisted on repairing the problem. I was told that at this stage mini of reno, nor mini usa know how to fix this problem and only thing they can try is attempt on cleaning the carbon build-up, which they quoted me $1386,86, making it clear at the same time, that this is just an attempt and they cannot guarantee that it will fix the problem.contacting mini usa yielded no results, they didn't offer to fix or replace the vehicle.
The front passenger seat occupant sensor is failing. The dash light comes on intermittingly when a passenger is seated and the vehicle is in operation. The problem started 03/19/2021. This is a major safety issue. The front passenger air bag(s) may not deploy in case of an accident. Mini had a recall in 2015 for 2005-2008 cars. The problem persists.*dt

Horn is not working. My husband has the same make and model and his is not working as well. I was on my way to work and tried to honk, on a few occasions, at other drivers that were about to hit me but the horn didn't work.
My car has protruding tailpipes, it caused me and my husband 3rd-degree burns after a short drive to costco.
Driving at 40mph and suddenly a noise/slight vibration in the front started.stopped at mechanics and was advised and shown that the front wheel bearing was bad.contacted dealership and was told that i must have hit something to cause it.though no other front end components show any damage.
