“I was driving my 2004 Mini Cooper on the highway from la to san diego. All of a sudden the power steering in my car evaporated and I almost hit the side of rail. The car would run but I could hardly steer it. I took it into a auto service center and they told me that it was the power steering pump. Several Mini coopers have had this same problem. I contacted customer care for Mini Cooper and they told me I had to take it to a bmw/Mini dealership even though I have already got a diagnostic. The dealership is charging $145.00 just to look at the car even though we already know what is wrong. …”
