This has a major recall and won’t pass inspection. Engine light is on . I’ve called dealership and was told parts are on back order . Last year I was told the same thing before I received a letter in the mail.
Check engine light ac not working water pump.
It's the engine burned up was driving car got hot started smoking and the engine burned up very disappointed didn't even finish paying for it.
Car was bought brand new and taken to the dealership for service. Infact it was serviced just a few thousand miles before this happened. My mother was driving on the high way coming home from work then it spontaneously combusted and exploded. Had she not noticed the flames she would have died. This is not okay.
After sitting in the parking lot for 12 hours, the car spontaneously burst into flames. The car was a total loss.
In September of 2014, the check engine light of my 2009 Mini Cooper came on. I took the car in for service at the Mini Cooper dealership in fife, washington and was told the timing chain needed to be replaced. When I purchased the vehicle new I was told the timing chain would remain maintenance-free throughout the full running life of the engine. Obviously this was not the case. All maintenance has been performed at the Mini Cooper dealership in fife since I purchased it new in October 2008.
Took vehicle in for installation heat shield for turbo feed line. This is a recall and newly installed part to protect the turbo feed line due to overheating. To my surprise they install the heat shield only to tell me that the turbo line is failing and want to charge me $1000. 00. The failure of the line is obviously due for the same reason they are installing a heat shield. Thus item should be recalled and replaced.
I noticed power steering fluid on my driver side floor mats. I checked underneath and noticed that is was dripping from my wiring harness. I called alexander Mini Cooper and they told me to take it to a mechanic to check out the problem and if they couldn't fix it to bring it in and have it diagnosed for $180. 00. They said that they have never heard of the problem but I believe it is a faulty power steering pump on my car. Can you assit me with any recall information so that I can get this repaired.
The timing tensioner on my Mini Cooper s backed out, resulting in a massive oil loss while at highway speeds. This is apparently a known issue by Mini, but no known recall has been issued at this point.
