As I was turning into a street the clutch went straight to the floor and it would not change gears! I had to coast to the side of the street; could have been a bad accident. When I called the dealership (South Atlanta BMW/Mini) I was told that the cost to replace the clutch would be $2100.00. The Service Center Manager also advised that it was "too soon" for the clutch to go; however, it happens.
THIS IS CRAZY!!!!! When doing research to see if this was common I found that many owners have problems with the clutch. Mini should recall these cars or at least repair the issue. This is BAD BUSINESS!!!! I love my car but it is not worth it! DO NOT PURCHASE A MINI COOPER!! Do your research/homework first!!!!! I AM SO UPSET WITH MINI USA!
