Mini BMW is fully aware of an issue with their OC3 detection mat on the passengers side and offered a extended warranty of 10 years/ 100k miles. This is insufficient coverage for a crucial saftey part and has led to a grey market production of occupancy detection mats "emulators" which are being sold online as the only way to have your airbag system "functional".

Mini cooper base model with 90k miles has seat belt and air bag warning lights illuminated. Warning lights started intermittently going on and off and now stay illuminated continously when ignition is on. No vehicle accidents or incidents to cause this problem.

Passenger side airbag is randomly disabled (with warning light/tone) when my 63# dog is sitting in the seat. Cause is a faulty "passenger seat occupant mat" that others have reported will cost over $1500 to replace. This has happened numerous times but only while driving so can't really get a picture of the warning light safely.

The passenger airbag warning safety light comes on and stays on when no-one or someone is sitting in the passenger seat with and without their seatbelt fastened. I searched online regarding this and found several other people experiencing the same issue. Since this is potentially a safety hazard to a passenger it must be recalled since multiple Mini coopers are experiencing this error.

The passenger airbag sensor has been on since the date posted. It would resolve on its own sometimes but not it never turns off, hindering my ability to see the speedometer. I have not shelled out the thousands to get it fixed because I am hoping BMW will recall for this apparently common problem

My mother who owns this 2012 Mini cooper has suddenly now started having issues with her water pump leaking. I took it to the dealership and was treated with this rude employee by christopher guzman whom had a very unprofessional and no empathy. Very short with responses and sarcasm.keep in mind my mother is elderly and knows nothing about cars. So I log into to your site and see there is a recall on water pumps but my mother's is not one of them. And guess what her warranty just expired march 2019. Go figure. So if something would have happened to my mother because of defective water pump. And how funny how my moms car was not a recall. I would qualify for that action lawsuit. How does a 2012 water pump just give up with very low mileage 24 000 I would like to escalate this further and

Temperature sensor in radiator hose leaking. Needs upper radiator hose, and thermostat with harness to correct. Discovered during a routine oil brakes etc inspection by the dealership. I was told there was a change in the harness and the new one has a "computer" and would cost $1450 to fix. This is an upper hose and I looked online and found the replacement harness has tow separate connectors, one for coolant temp sensor and the other for the coolant thermostat. I hd checked my fluids two days before on a cold engine and they were fine and water overflow was at the proper level. I checked my coolant overflow tank the day after visiting the dealership on a cold engine and the overflow tank was low... I added water... It has not gone down for several days. I have heard there is corrosion tha

These 2012 Mini cooper clubman are having the timing guides brake and sometimes ruin the engine. In my case I think I caught it on time, I called Mini here locally and my warranty runs out this september 2017 or 100,000. But my car just hit 105,000, this is an issue that Mini have had for quite a few years and I saw a recall up to 2011 but haven't seen anything for 2012 Mini clubman. It's hard to believe that BMW/Mini went with plastic guides instead of some other material that could withstood more beating, specially for this area. Thank you for any help, because I'm having to fork out any wheres between $1500'to $3000.00!to get this fixed. I was driving when I heard the noise and now it sits in my driveway.

While driving for about 30 minutes on the highway, my Mini cooper shut off completely, I was able to pull onto the shoulder and that is when smoke started coming from the engine, within 6 minutes my whole engine was engulfed in flames, car totaled. Insurence inspectors couldn't figure out a cause. One of the fire fighters said it looks like it started near the water pump. There are recalls on other models for this problem, but not mine. My Mini hasn't been worked on since last year when I got new tires, I also keep up with every oil change. *tr

Tl* the contact owns na 2012 Mini cooper s countryman. The contact stated that while driving 65mph the vehicle stalled the engine light illuminated before the failure occurred.

Passenger seatbelt element sensor malfunctioned. We had to replace the entire passenger seat cushion with new sensor for a cost of $1843.00. A 2012 vehicle should nor require a new seat through ordinary use. Note:Mini seatbelt sensor is molded into the cushion requiring a new cushion and not just replacing the sensor resulting in the high cost to the consumer.

Electronic fuel pump failed twice within a year. Manual transmission - clutch does not engage gears properly. Friction point is vague and unengaging. Gear slips. Requires exceedingly high rev. Counts/gas to engage in gear properly. Car stalls more than normal/often. Overall fuel injection/ECU mapping/clutch issues are evidently and repeats to be problem areas despite parts replacement and adjustment (ECU re-map). From the owner's experience, the car stopped accelerating on the freeway due to fuel pump failures (twice) thus creating road hazard for fellow drivers on the freeway at high speed as well as my own personal safety. Also, due to stalling issues off the line, entering freeway after meter-signal is also dangerous in multiple occasions creating potential threat to safety. Manufac
