Wiper Problems of Mini Cooper Countryman

My front windshield wipers stopped working suddenly while driving in the rain.

While traveling on the highway at speed, the forward (retractable) sunroof exploded with no apparent provocation or warning. When the failure occurred there was a loud bang followed by glass forcefully raining down into the front and back seat area of the vehicle. There were no vehicles immediately ahead, and no overpasses or trees from which something could have fallen. The driver immediately slowed but did not swerve and there were no other vehicles close by so there was no secondary incident. The glass from the roof continued to fall on subsequent bumps in the road until all of the loose glass had fallen. The size of the glass pieces varied in size and sharpness greatly, with some pieces being very small clear slivers (causing mild cut to hand when exiting the vehicle). In addition when exiting the vehicle a piece of glass from the sunroof found its way into the driver's seatbelt fastener and as a result can no longer be buckled. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone and is available for inspection on request.

The contact owns a 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman. While driving at approximately 35 mph, the contact felt the vehicle downshift. In addition, the windshield wipers functioned independently and different warning lights illuminated continuously. When the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle did not respond and the steering wheel lost power. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. The VIN was not provided.

Our brand new, 2014 Mini countryman with 100 miles developed a fracture in its windshield with no apparent or observed cause. We believe that this is due to a design or engineering defect. The fracture is located in the bottom corner of the windshield on the driver-side. It is approximately 8 inches long and reaches the base of the windshield.

Vehicle has non-heated side mirrors. At temperatures below 60f they fog over or ice over when colder. Visibility is literally zero on both sides of the car.
