Exterior Lighting Problems of Mini Cooper S

Failure of the footwell module failed due to corrosion by water intrusion as diagnosed by Mini dealership. Windows, turn signals and lights were inoperable as a result of failure. This matched the situation outlined in your recall notice part 573 safety recall report 23v-337. Car matched the model/years affected/listed in recall. However, Mini dealer informed me my VIN was not listed in their recall. Subsequent research indicated that NHTSA/Mini limited the recall to cars purchased cars sold or registered in specific states (not part of the safety recall report). Ref nef-107dm dated 5/19/2023. I drove car in those states but did not buy or register the vehicle in them. I encourage you to have Mini extend it's recall/warranty to all vehicles which exhibit the safety failure.

The contact owns a 2016 Mini Cooper S. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "left brake lamp and tailgate light malfunction" was displayed and while depressing the brake pedal the driver’s side rear brake light failed to illuminate.

After multiple frustrating complaints and unsuccessful service attempts on 8/17/11, 9/1/11, 9/6/11, 9/21/11 and 9/28/11 for my 2007 Mini Cooper S (purchased on 8/16/11) at mayors auto mall SAAB located at 6001 northern boulevard, woodside NY 11377 and failing inspection on 9/1/12; I was fed up and brought my vehicle directly to hassel BMW Mini of freeport located at 100 cleveland avenue, freeport NY 11520 on 10/31/11. After a service bill of $3,546 (service) +$141. 21 (evaluation fee) = $3,688. 03 from BMW Mini, the problems were still not resolved. I then filed a lemon law case against mayors auto mall and won on. Despite winning the case, mayors auto mall refused to return my monies for the purchase price of vehicle. After contacting dmv with the issue and having them suspending their business license, mayors auto mall finally refunded my monies for vehicle purchase but it was excluding service bills of $3,688. 03 from BMW Mini since lemon law did not cover this amount. I am filing a complaint against BMW Mini and would like to find out possible remedies for getting a refund services paid towards a vehicle that I no longer have due to lemon law case and am out of $3,688. 03 for no reason. I understand BMW Mini is currently being sued for these same issues by many consumers. Please contact me with any possible information you may be able to provide regarding my case. I am in awe shock that I am still dealing with this and it has been 3 years already since I had to return the car to mayors auto mall. Thank you for your concern with this matter and would appreciate any information you are able to provide.
