Mini Cooper Convertible Problems by year

un-drivable. I have been without a functioning car for over three weeks. Keeler MINI claims the recall repair will take four weeks due to parts delays, yet they explicitly refuse to provide a dealer loaner or authorize a rental vehicle while holding my disabled car. Representatives from MINI USA Corporate explicitly confirmed to us that under official Service Bulletin SI B61 05 23, this recall qualifies for Alternative Mobility Solutions (AMS) rental reimbursement, and a MINI Regional Director confirmed I should receive a loaner. However, Keeler MINI's service staff refuses to issue a vehicle, screening our calls, ignoring repeated messages, and refusing to let us speak with service management. I am an elderly consumer with significant medical needs. Being left completely stranded without transportation for nearly a month has forced me to miss multiple critical specialist medical appointments (including follow-ups for a TIA/stroke, ophthalmology, physical therapy, and nephrology). This unreasonable barrier to a safety recall remedy poses a severe risk to my health and safety. Addendum: Keeler said parts are available for repair-will still take 4 weeks. I originally called Keeler 9-12 mos ago,every 2-4 wks for an appt that did not take 4 weeks. None available. Footwell Control Module currently totally broken

System). The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the footwell control module had failed. The vehicle was not repaired because there was no extended warranty coverage. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 198,000.

it was replaced with a brand-new one a few months ago. This suggests an underlying electrical drain or short, which could increase the risk of electrical fire or vehicle failure while driving. These malfunctions create significant safety concerns, as the vehicle may roll backward when stopped on an incline and could pose a fire risk due to the known recall. The car has not been safe to drive. The closest Mini dealership (Flow Mini of Raleigh - about 2 hours away) confirmed that the recall is open but refused to provide or authorize a tow, even after I explained that the vehicle could not be safely driven to their location about 2 hours away. The problem has been ongoing for several years, worsening over time. Warning messages appear intermittently but frequently, especially during start-up or when stopped on slopes. Mini USA has not inspected or repaired the vehicle, and their representatives have stated they will not assist with transport to the dealership despite the known recall risk. I called MINI USA directly, and recorded the whole ordeal. I was forwarded to 5 different departments, and the last person stated that because my car is out of warranty that there's nothing they can do to help me - that any tow I opt for would have to be out-of-pocket. I was in the middle of explaining to her that my car has these very specific warnings and issues associated with this recall that is solely the fault of Mini, and she hung up on me.
