“I was on a city street going approximately 15 MPH when a pickup truck in the lane to my right tried to turn into a driveway I was approaching to my left- his car hit mine and my car rolled over onto the roof and the airbags didn't deploy.”

“While driving home, on highway, at highway speeds, I had the rear sunroof explode. Heard a single crack, then ~30 seconds later, sunroof exploded. Larger pieces of glass caught by sun net, however, fine particles of glass now cover rear seat. No known prior damage.”

NHTSA complaint #11111743, filed 2018-07, 18,100 miles

“This complaint concerns my 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman S, All-Wheel Drive. About four months ago, I began experiencing wobbling and noise when making turns at low speed. I took the vehicle to multiple repair shops for diagnosis. The first shop recommended replacing the clutch pack assembly ($2,626 + tax). The second shop suggested replacing the transfer case (~$2,928 + tax). Based on that, I purchased a used transfer case ($407) and had a third shop install it ($580), but the issue persisted. I then went to a fourth shop, which again insisted it was a transfer case problem. …”
