Short story......... I just bought a beautiful red 2006 Mini Convertible for my daughter and its not going well. It only has 24K on it and looks fabulous but right after we bought it I noticed the passenger side airbag stayed on no matter who was sitting in the seat.
We'll I dropped it off last week at Cincinnati Mini and it ended up costing me over $ 1,600 to repair a seat sensor. I have the old seat and will save for later.
There was a an extended warranty issued for 2002-2003 for a similar issue but not one for later models. I have submitted a complaint on this at NHTSA website.
In searching their website a majority of the (40) Cooper and (11) Cooper convertible 2006 complaints revolve around this very common problem.
I urge everyone that has had this issue or dealing with it now to lodge a complaint, as this is how goverment recalls start.
