SEAT OCCUPANT SENSOR IS BAD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING ON OTHER YEARS AND MODELS, BUT NOT THE 2012 MINI COOPER COUNTRYMAN, WHICH MAKES VERY LITTLE SENSE BEING THAT ITS A COMMON PROBLEM AS WELL AS BEING THAT ITS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE AIRBAG SENSOR GOES ON AND OFF WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
