One problem related to power steering pump has been reported for the 2008 Mini Cooper Convertible. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Moving my Mini into the garage a fire caught under the hood and the steering went out, after inspection it was found to be the power steering pump. Insurance will not cover the cost as it is a mechanical failure. I have read about the previous models being recalled for this same problem as well as class action law suits. I believe my Mini may have had the same problem and that BMW should be paying for these repairs.
