Description of the problem | Power steering has failed on 2004 mini copper twice. This is the second occurrence in 1. 75 years. This is a safety concern especially as a city driver where the need exists to parallel park, park in parking decks, and driving and turning on narrow streets with traffic. There is not always the option to make a wide turn. Model years 04 and 05 have this issue and mini has not addressed. In addition they have not made it an affordable repair. |
