problem #1

Cooper

  • 120,000 miles
I reported a few months ago that my power steering had failed. It is a 2005 MINICooper, and some 2002-2005 MINICoopers were effected, but supposedly not my MINIwith my VIN number. The recall had ended in February 2005 and my car was manufactured in April 2005. However I believe that BMW (makers of MINICooper) were using faulty power steering units after February 2005. My car has low miles, I am the original owner and I take pristine care of my MINIAs a result, I hit a curb and had to have the front left tire changed. The weather was clear, no rain and my tires are all just about brand new run flat tires. The range of MINICoopers affected needs to increased. This is obviously a problem and BMW (makers of MINICooper) seem to not take it seriously. My power steering is a major safety issue and needs to be addressed asap
