Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle new in 2004, and have had consistent problems with the steering, most recently on friday, march 9, 2012. I have taken it to the mini cooper dealer at least four times for this problem. The power steering pump has been replaced, so has the steering column, as well as the lower steering shaft spindle. Still, the power steering function goes out without warning. It is exceedingly dangerous and i have to drive this car to do my job, and i'm spooked by it. |
