I GOT THE AIR BAD WARNING A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE SIGNAL WITH A LIL AIRBAG ON MY DASH BOARD. I CALLED THE DEALER TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY DIDN'T CHECK TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL THEY JUST CARED ABOUT FIXING IT IF I PAID THEM. SINCE THEN I GET THE AIRBAG WARNING EVERY TIME THE CAR IS ON.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Mini Cooper S Clubman verdict →
