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.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
