Two problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 2012 Mini Cooper S. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The car stalled while driving on freeway once and high pressure fuel pump was replaced by Mini cooper and again second time on inner roads driving at 20 miles an hour. . . . Without any warning.
While moving in traffic and accelerating, the fuel pump cut out and the engine died, forcing the driver to maneuver in traffic (coasting) eventually coming to stop in a left hand turn lane which was then blocked with the dead vehicle. Though the vehicle was undamaged, the possibility of a collision existed. Research indicates that Minis from 2010-early 2012 had similar problems, resulting in Mini USA extending the warranty on the fuel pump to 10 years/ 120,000 miles. Vehicles produced on or after 3/1/2012 (including mine) were fitted with different equipment. No recall was conducted. My car had 25,000 miles on it when the fuel pump failed.
