| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | TRANSMISSION WHINING NOISE EVENTUALLY LEADING TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MINI IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND REFUSES TO ADMIT FAULT. VERY COMMON PROBLEM OCCURRING IN MOST 2002 VEHICLES WITH ONLY 40,000-60,000 MILES ON THEM. COST IS 7000 TO REPLACE. MINI DOES NOT OFFER REPAIR ON THIS PART. *TR |
| 2005 | STRUCTURE:BODY | HINGE ON REAR HATCH BEGAN BENDING UNTIL DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AT ALL. FINALLY, THE HINGE FRACTURED AND THE WHOLE DOOR NEARLY FELL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSAFE AND UNDRIVABLE CONDITION BECAUSE THE HATCH WAS NOW HANGING OVER THE REAR BUMPER BY ONLY ONE HINGE. THESE EVENTS OCCURRED OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS AND WITH VERY LITTLE WARNING. *TR |
