“175 miles on 2019 Mini s countryman. Traveling at highway speed. Drivetrain malfunction indicator came on, car shuddered repeatedly and decelerated rapidly to approx. 20 MPH in 60 zone. Created instant hazard to myself as multiple lanes of faster moving traffic needed to be crossed to reach safety and no warning to tailing vehicle.”
