“The new Mini Cooper that I leased started to have acceleration problems around 6500 miles. What happens is a hesitation in the acceleration of the Mini from a start or at low rpms. For example when you're at a stop and you are trying to cross traffic the hesitation of the acceleration is dangerous in timing the vehicle to cross traffic and when the acceleration catches up the car jumps to high rpms. This is being reported because I took the Cooper into the Mini of ontario service center and they said there is nothing wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10420348, filed 2011-08, 6,500 miles“There has been a recall on my mini Cooper for sometime now. Over a year and a half at least. We have been patiently waiting for the remedy and still, do not have one. Our car, at times has become inoperable due to this recall. We took it to an auto shop, they ran a test and confirmed that the issues we are receiving are from the recall. I feel like this issue is taking a very long time for mini to fix and it is putting us out of money and causing lots of stress to us. I am filing this complaint in hopes this can provide a solution to us and mini.”
