This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2013 MINICooper countryman. When the vehicle was started, the passenger side air bag indicator illuminated. The contact called braman motorcars at 561-609-0130 (located at 2901 okeechobee blvd, West palm beach, fl 33409) where a diagnostic test was recommended. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 93,186.
The passenger seat occupancy sensor is faulty. BMW recalled many bmws and MINIcoopers for this issue but not the 2013 MINIcountryman - but it also has this issue. It is all over the internet with vidoes teaching you how to try to bypass it. The light comes on telling you there is an airbag defect and seatbelt light comes on for passenger side. It only makes the sound when someone is in the seat moving around. If no one is in the seat, the lights are still lit but no alarm is sounded. You can simply google this and tons of complaints come up. It happens when you turn on the car.
While in motion, passenger seat belt alarm was going off this am with no one in the passenger seat. Also noticed that the passenger air bag signal was not lit.
I get an error that the seat belt is deactivated and the the airbag is off. Ran diagnostic and got code 93bf. This car has never been in an accident and this happened all of a sudden one morning after turning engine on when going to work.
