“2006 Mini copper s. I bought it with 15997 miles on the car. The clutch went out 3000 miles later and the Mini dealership was asked to check out the car especially the clutch only 2 months prior to this happening. No warning lights appeared before the clutch stopped working. Now the dealer tells me that is not covering by the warranty and then informs me that this will be the third clutch to be installed in this vehicle.... One was replaced at 8000 miles and then another at 11000 miles (first owner) and now again at 19000 miles. …”
