Electrical system: “6/21/2018, my 2010 Mini cooper clubman s developed serious defects. I drove my car on the leftmost lane of three-lane boston turnpike. Close to a traffic light, I braked to decelerate vehicle but the engine suddenly died without warning, while car was in motion. Both battery and starter worked.

Until a truck driver came to help me to push my car off road. …”

It started with a loud rattling noise from the motor, which made the car intermittently sound like either a diesel engine or a chainsaw slicing through something. Then as I slowed down in traffic, the rpms on the car began to spastically jump. …”

The car only has 57,000 miles on it and we noticed that the transmission was slipping and we took it to Mini of louisville.
