Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The power steering on my 2005 Mini Cooper S began malfunctioning on 8-9-2010. While going left on a mixmaster, the power steering failed and I thought I was going to hit the side of the bridge and perhaps drive off of the side of the bridge. The passenger in my car helped me steer (with force) to the left and drive to the straightaway. The power steering is intermittent, working five percent of the time. My car was serviced in june of 2010 due to a problem with the tension belt, which caused the car to have a burning smell and no air conditioning. …”
