Mini Cooper Countryman owners have reported 1 problem related to owners/service manual (under the equipment category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman has a poorly designed cup holder that punctures cups causing liquid to leak. This cup holder is not properly sealed and allows fluid (condensation) into the gearshift assembly. This causes the inability to shift gears properly. It will also cause the key to be stuck in the ignition. Mini will not take responsibility for the labor to fix the issue and will also not correct the problem from reoccurring. I believe this is a safety issue and needs to be investigated as well as a very expensive fix for the consumer. When I called Mini USA they informed me there was language in the manual that provided a warning about what cups were appropriate but I found no such language. There was barely a reference to the cup holders. They may have updated their manual since I purchased my car but mine did not have any reference to such a problem.
