problem #1

Cooper 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles
The center pillar heat rises to an extremely high temperature in my car. This happened in the summer when temperatures were very hot.(100+) it's hot enough to startle a driver or burn them; this could cause them to react by moving their foot on the accelerator in an unpredictable way, which is quite a safety hazard. It burned my right ankle. I'm writing now because I really didn't know any better then, plus I didn't know about this website. Now there are reports of MINICooper ss catching on fire. I am concerned.
