2015 MINI Cooper Electrical system Problems

“The service manager informed me that standing water from the cup holder had spilled down into the shifter control box and ruined the assembly. Furthermore, because this was deemed to be 'external forces' the repair would not be covered under warranty and will cost me over $1100.00 to fix it . I couldn't imagine that I have had 'standing water' in my cupholder, and that this water could have somehow damaged a shifter control box that should have been sealed int the first place. …”

“My 2015 Mini Cooper 4 door hardtop was parked in my garage. I started it but had not put it into gear yet. I opened the door and got out (car didn't budge) and as I walked back towards the rear, the car lurched out of park and reversed which caused it to pin me in between the car and the garage beam as it continued to roll quickly backwards as if someone was accelerating.

This has been going on since September 2023, the car was only bought in May 2023.”

“While driving on freeway in 109 degree temp the service engine light came on. Proceeded with trip home (approx 2 hrs). Made a service appt online with Mini of Stevens Creek which was for 3 days later. Upon inspection it was found that vehicle had multiple problems.
