Short excerpts of the latest complaints filed with NHTSA, with personal details removed. Full reports can be searched on NHTSA.gov.
The passenger seat occupancy sensor has malfunctioned. The airbag turns off when a passenger of sufficient weight is seated; a warning light comes on intermittently. This happens often, posing a safety risk to the passenger.
The passenger side seat mat sensor, that triggers the airbag in an accident (i understand), has failed. Mini of charleston sc (close to where i live) inform me that it will take 3-6 months to get a replacement.
