STEERING
WHILE PARKING AND WHILE DRIVING, STEERING FUNCTION HAS BEEN LOST. THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HEAVY, SEEMING TO BE STUCK AND UNABLE TO TURN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR OR PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND STOP WITHOUT INJURY. THE STEERING FLUID WAS FINE, AN ALTHOUGH THE STEERING PUMP DOESN'T MAKE NOISE OR CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF, IT IS ASSUMED THE STEERING PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (A COMMON FAULTY PART IN MINI COOPERS). THERE IS CONCERN FOR SAFETY OVER WHEN AND WHERE I MIGHT LOSE STEERING AGAIN AND WHETHER THIS WILL CAUSE AN INCIDENT ALONE OR WITH ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE READ THAT MY CAR MIGHT START ON FIRE IN CONNECTION WITH THE STEERING PUMP, EVEN WITH A REPLACEMENT OF THE PUMP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMP FAILED TWICE WITHIN A YEAR. MANUAL TRANSMISSION - CLUTCH DOES NOT ENGAGE GEARS PROPERLY. FRICTION POINT IS VAGUE AND UNENGAGING. GEAR SLIPS. REQUIRES EXCEEDINGLY HIGH REV. COUNTS/GAS TO ENGAGE IN GEAR PROPERLY. CAR STALLS MORE THAN NORMAL/OFTEN. OVERALL FUEL INJECTION/ECU MAPPING/CLUTCH ISSUES ARE EVIDENTLY AND REPEATS TO BE PROBLEM AREAS DESPITE PARTS REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT (ECU RE-MAP). FROM THE OWNER'S EXPERIENCE, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO FUEL PUMP FAILURES (TWICE) THUS CREATING ROAD HAZARD FOR FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEED AS WELL AS MY OWN PERSONAL SAFETY. ALSO, DUE TO STALLING ISSUES OFF THE LINE, ENTERING FREEWAY AFTER METER-SIGNAL IS ALSO DANGEROUS IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS CREATING POTENTIAL THREAT TO SAFETY. MANUFACTURER NEED TO ADDRESS BROAD ISSUE OF FUEL SYSTEM/POWERTRAIN/CLUTCH BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUS HURT OR INJURED TO SUDDEN IMMOBILITY/STALLS. IN PARTICULAR, THE CLUTCH IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS SO BAD THAT IT DOES NOT FULFILL THE INTENDED FUNCTION OF ENGAGING GEARS. *TR
