Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had previous issues with the panoramic sunroof, I had to get it replaced. Then I had issues with the chain and chain tensioner and had to get that replaced too. Now the steering has failed on me, I can't start the car or even move the steering wheel. My steering is locked now; I had the car running, everything seemed to run fine and the steering worked fine. Once I shut the car off I couldn't start the car back up and my steering locked up. I had to get my car towed home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10440928, filed 2011-12, 69,540 miles“Several weeks ago I found a crack in windshield of 2007 Mini Cooper S on passenger side below wiper. I had the windshield replaced and car was returned to me on sept. 10th. On sept. 16 I found another crack in the new glass in approximately same spot!

NHTSA complaint #10242724, filed 2008-09, 6,122 miles“The dual power sunroof is stuck in the open position. After doing some research I have found that this happens very frequently on the 2007 model Mini's and nothing is being done by the manufacturer. To fix the problem Mini is charging over $2500.00 to correct this. There should be a recall on this item.”
