2010 MINI Cooper Brakes Problems

“While driving, cars around me were beeping when I switched lanes after signaling and stepped on the brakes. I was nearly rear ended! Come to find out all of my lighting systems were inoperable. I had: *no brake lights *no turn signals *no hazard lights *no headlights *no tail lights *windows were inoperable. The list goes on.

The brakes are also not good on the car. I had to get an oil change, wiping blades after a month of having the car. The AC fan is also not functioning. …”

The police arrived on scene to assist, however a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to a lot by the contact's insurance company but was not examined for the cause of failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 7,000.”
