“My father purchased a 2010 Mini cooper clubman s in late 2009. He has maintained proper maintenance on the car since day one. In february 2014 he gave the car to me. 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. They had the car for over 1 month to replace the valve body because the part was on national backorder. We were advised that if we continued to drive the vehicle it could cause the transmission to fail even while driving. …”
