Description of the problem | My 2004 mini coopers transmission failed at 80k miles with no warning. Luckily i was in a parking lot and not on the highway, where i could have been killed. The cost of replacing the tranny was $7,000. Mini usa was useless when i pleaded with them to help me. After reading about all of the other complaints with the cvt trans, i can't believe there was no recall. I will never buy a mini again. I still owe $11,000 on the car and cannot afford another. |
