| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | CLUTCH AND CABLES FAIL AT 100 000KM. RATTLING NOISE AT START UP. VERY LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING. TRANSMISSION GONE AT 103 000KM. *TR |
| 2004 | STEERING | THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN ACTING STRANGE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE STEERING WOULD BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES, AND ON THE OTHER OCCASIONS WOULD WORK JUST FINE. A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP REVEALED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD FAILED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MOST OF THE 2004 MINI COOPERS, A DEFECTIVE PART WAS PUT INTO THE CAR WHILE MANUFACTING. MINI IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING FOR $1200 TO REPLACE IT. DUE TO THE POWER PUMP FAILURE, THE TEMPARATURE RISES AND MAY HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO A FEW HOSES AROUND THAT AREA. *TT |
