Battery Dead problems of the 2005 Mini Cooper Convertible

After I turned my car off, a noise like a fan kept running. It drained the battery causing me to get my car jumped. Then power steering went out, and when I arrived home after struggling to turn vehicle and operate safely, the fan did it again, after 5 minutes battery was dead. This is a major issue with this year of Mini I have found after researching tonight, and I am very displeased to see that canada has recalled this issue and the USA has not! people could get seriously injured. There is no rhyme or reason as to why, or when this will happen. This needs to be addressed as BMW is not taking responsibility in us as they have been forced to in canada!!! I am a young, female college student and it was very scary being stuck and then not to have steering either.
