Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving in 10 degree f weather, the Mini Countryman overheated within 3 miles of driving from originally turning the car on (10 minutes of run time). The dealership noted that a rock passed through the grill that protects the auxillary cooling radiator and damaged the radiator, causing a leak. The new 2021 Mini Countryman cars contain a rock guard over the grill because they recognize this as a dangerous problem, but they have not fixed the problem with any car from a previous year. …”
