I own a 2003 Mini Cooper and purchased it new. My car has less than 70,000 miles on it. I have not had any major problems until this past year. The rpm’s would surge to 4K when I tried to shift from second to third gear, then to fourth, and fifth. At the time it happened so randomly, I thought maybe my floor mat was causing the problem.
The local Mini dealership was having some kind of open house and I signed up for several free system evaluations on my car. Nothing was mentioned about the clutch or the transmission until I spoke to the manager about how I was hearing the car rev-up when I wasn’t stomping on the gas pedal. He took it for a little drive and came back to tell me my transmission was going out. Interesting that no one told me that until I mentioned that I may be thinking of using my Mini as a trade-in for a new car.
This week, I was on the freeway, and suddenly my car lost almost all forward propulsion. I was able to crawl off the freeway and into a parking lot just before it quite moving for good. So since I can’t afford a new or good used car and because my car has such low mileage, I’m having my private garage service company repair my Mini for $3,400.
If there is any help from a class action suit, I would appreciate being notified. Thank you,
