MY 2015 MINI COOPER 4 DOOR HARDTOP WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I STARTED IT BUT HAD NOT PUT IT INTO GEAR YET. I OPENED THE DOOR AND GOT OUT (CAR DIDN'T BUDGE) AND AS I WALKED BACK TOWARDS THE REAR, THE CAR LURCHED OUT OF PARK AND REVERSED WHICH CAUSED IT TO PIN ME IN BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE GARAGE BEAM AS IT CONTINUED TO ROLL QUICKLY BACKWARDS AS IF SOMEONE WAS ACCELERATING. WHEN CONTACTING MINI, THEY HAD ONE OF THEIR INSPECTORS COME (NO DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO ME). I WAS CALLED (AGAIN NO DOCUMENTATION) AND TOLD THAT THE ENGINEER FOUND NO FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND T
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MINI COOPER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE TRUNK WITH KEY FOB, THE TRUNK FAILED TO UNLOCK. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE HOPE THAT IT WOULD UNLOCK THE TRUNK. WHEN THE CONTACT BEGAN TO WALK TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN TO ROLL DESPITE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL OVER A LARGE CURB AND LANDED INTO THE FOUNDATION OF A NEIGHBORING HOME. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED DAMAGE TO THE REAR BUMPER AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND DRIVE TRAIN WARNING
I MADE A RIGHT TURN FROM THE MAIN STREET, INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A STRIP MALL, THEN AN IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN, AND ANOTHER RIGHT TURN INTO THE RIGHT ANGLE PARKING SLOT. ALL THE WHILE HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, I STARTED TO SHIFT INTO PARK, WHEN IT WAS IN THE RIGHT SPOT. THE MINI INSTEAD COMING TO A STOP, REVVED UP, JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT THE STORE IN THE FRONT. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES REALLY HARD, ALL THE TIME BUT THE BRAKE PEDALS WERE LOCKED UP. IT WOULD NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. SAT HARD ON THE FLOOR! WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME, THE BRAKES WERE STILL LOCKED UP AND THE
Lower Engine Support and Passenger Engine Mount damaged as per routine inspection by dealer in Feb2025. Never diagnosed before. Repair done by independent service center in Feb2025 and I have receipt of approximately 1K. Also, since 22feb2025, I am not able to add fuel to the tank because the pump stops constantly and causes spill of fuel. This can cause fire. Never happened before. Tried at least 4 different gas station and same result. Dealer charges over $200 to perform inspection/diagnostics. Not done yet. Repairs to fuel tank are in the thousands. No warning in the car dashboard for non
While driving the rear view mirror suddenly tilted downward (drooped). What happened, was that the tension ring popped off. As it turns out, this is a known issue per internet Mini Cooper pages. On hot days the ring loosens and, since the design does not include anything to prevent the ring from sliding off, it does slide off, resulting in the rear view mirror drooping. I reinstalled the ring. This occurred again the next day. I ended up uninstalling the rear view mirror, reinstalling the ring and gluing it in place. Thus far this has held.
The contact owns a 2015 Mini Cooper. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear convertible glass suddenly separated from the convertible compartment and fell on the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or local dealer. The contact stated that while searching online, he became aware that the failure had been a very well-known failure since 2017 with similar vehicles. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.
The sensors do not work. The car does not tell me when oil is needed, when my tires are low. No sensors work in the car. The dealer, Mini Of Edison, states FOUND INTERNAL HARDWARE FAULTS. But are stating its costs 2300.00 to fix. This is a huge safety issue.Ive been having to guess when my oil is low and when my tires are low. This has been going on since September 2023, the car was only bought in May 2023.
The fuel filling nozzle turns off repeatedly while trying to fill the fuel tank and spills out causing a safety and environmental hazard, regardless of the pump being used. As a result, no fuel goes into the gas tank, instead it goes all over the car and the ground.
