2002 Mini Cooper Brake problems

Abs dash light and break light suddenly came on. In addition to the air bag light that suddenly came on, the dealer said the computer module for the abs will cost $1,000 (in addition to the airbag module of $1.000). I see on internet blogs and nhtsa that this is a common incident total air bag and abs cost will be $2,000

After an apparent short out of the anti-lock braking system a fire occurred shortly after two to five minute later the car was completely engulfed in flames. Fifteen minutes later the car was completely gone, california highway patrol as well as keys city fire department both gave their conclusion of the car being absolutely totaled. Luckily I was able to get the car stopped and off to the side of the highway and was able to evacuate the vehicle. *Tr

Clutch and cables fail at 100 000km. Rattling noise at start up. Very loud humming noise coming from the steering. Transmission gone at 103 000km. *Tr

With only 24000 total miles on the 2002 mini cooper-s all 4 brakes and rotors were failing, worn beyond limits and required replacing. Not covered by warranty due to vehicle being older than 3 years at the time. *Tr

I have a 2002 mini cooper with 52k miles, the transmission has went out twice in the past 2 years the first time at 31k miles. The clutch has also went out as well as the sunroof motor, left front brake caliper, windshield wiper motor with a host of sensors, gauges etc... Parts are impossible to get and service on a 24k car (when new) is as much as my 70k bmw 7 series.*Cn

Constant grinding noise coming front my front brakes. Had sensors replaced, front and rear brakes replaced and the master cylinder replaced as well. Still making the noise and causing extended braking distance. Feels extremely unsafe. *Tr

Our mini burned to the ground. It had only been driven 20 miles and was parked when it happened. After a forensic specialist was hired by the insurance company, it was determined that the abs unit was at fault. In later models, the fuse was changed from a 30 amp to a 20 amp. No recall was ever issued and bmw/mini never acknowledged a problem with the car. Since this happened, at least 10-15 other minis have burned. Our mini was a total loss. *Jb
