Brake Light Problems of Mini Cooper

My driver side brake light keeps melting. The plastic the the light build screws into is actually melting t the brake light bulb. I've paid Mini to repair the damage and the same issues has surfaced. The driver's side brake light does not work at all.

Rear brake light burnt and melted. It was repaired and now it melted and burnt again but has caused further damage requiring the whole taillight needing replacement.

I own a 2017 Mini Cooper clubman that was recalled for an unsafe brake light condition. There were 4 functional brake lights on the rear bumper. After my car was "fixed", I only have 2 functional brake lights on the rear bumper. I fail to understand how this approved "fix" made my car safer. Three weeks after the "fix" was completed, I was rear ended while turning onto my street. I feel that the NHTSA approved a "fix" for a condition that made my car less safe. How could you allow Mini to permanently disable brake lights as a fix?.

Brake light failed, bulb could not be removed from inside the vehicle. Dealer said the complete assembly would need to be replaced. Upon removing the assembly, the fixture was reviewed to find where excesive heat had melted the connection to the bulb (same ones used in bmws that melted the wiring harness back in 2003). I repaird the the assembly by soldering the sockets to the board such that it did not depend on a piece of plastic for pressure contact. It works, but when a bulb truely burns out, the assembly must be removed to change the bulb.

I recently test drove a Mini Cooper clubman s. I did not like the vehicle, and one of the reasons is the way the lighting (front and rear) is designed. The rear of the car has very large lights that go across the 'barn doors' that appear to be brake lights. When I was at the dealership I noticed another clubman in the parking lot being parked wasn't lighting up the large lights as it slowly backed into a parking space. Upon further examination I realized the large lights on the rear doors actually do not light up when braking. Instead there are very small lights at the absolute bottom of the bumper that indicate braking. Not only are the lights in an inappropriate location but they are so small you don't even notice them. When you expect you are looking at brake lights and someone in front of you brakes, you would never know that actually you have to look down almost to the ground to see their indicator light up. These brake lights are extremely dangerous. Why would the large lights on the barn doors in your line of sight that are probably 70% of the width of the car not be the brake lights? it is dangerous and BMW-Mini should be forced to recall and/or stop selling these vehicles until this issue is corrected. I would not put myself or my family in jeopardy driving one of these poorly designed vehicles. Please see the link to a website where other people express their concern too. Https://m. Reddit.

Consumer was driving home when people starting honking and waving at consumer. Brake lights were not working. Consumer had dealer come and get vehicle, dealer told consumer that it was an electrical problem. Consumer said that vehicle was in her possession for 24 hours when brake lights failed. Consumer bought vehicle new from dealer , who supposedly fixed it. But consumer had not been able to check to see if brake lights actually worked. Consumer stated that it was significant that this happened after dealer had done the safety preparations for delivering the car. Dealer said that the preparations were done, and they checked the lights and all the fluid levels.
