“Driving down 680 from berkeley, ca at around 2:30pm: I was heading home and temperature light appears on dash. I notice it and try to pull off freeway trying to get to safe area to stop. Before I could pull over to safety, the car stopped running (engine shut off). Immediately steam was coming from engine compartment and I could not get engine to start again. I called tow truck and the car was towed to pleasanton, ca Mini dealership/service department. I was unaware that Mini had extended the temperature housing part of engine to 10 year warranty due to the part being faulty. …”
