On July 20, 2016 when we questioned repair costs covered by our 2011 MINImaintenance program upgrade agreement, the sharpe collection MINIdealership in grand rapids Michigan was unable to provide a paper copy of the agreement. Nor did they subsequently email it to us as requested. In addition, we requested the same documentation on the MINIusa website at miniusa.com and it was not forthcoming after several weeks. It is our understanding that the dealership by law must keep all paperwork of this nature available to clients for 7 years.

I am filing a complaint that the MINIcooper countrymen which has been in production for over 3 years has not yet been rated for crashes or rollovers. I find this to be unacceptable how are consumers to make an educated decision when there is no data available on the vehicles safety.
