Cooper S 4-cyl

  • 39,000 miles
Car stopped accelerating as I was driving (twice this has happened - in a bend in the road--very scary). Also, around this time, could not start up the car--car engine was attempting to turn over but wouldn't until about my 6th attempt. I never had problems starting my car before. I might add that recently, before I had this problem, I have noticed that my vehicle does not have the fast pick up that it use to.
