Mini Cooper Acceleration problems by year

Engine stalling Oil pan leaks Caused the engine to shut down when slowing down or sitting in traffic on highway. No warning lights prior to incidents Only right after

This has a major recall and won't pass inspection. Engine light is on . I've called dealership and was told parts are on back order . Last year I was told the same thing before I received a letter in the mail.

While driving the car at aproximately 25mph, the engine and the car stopped running. All dashboard warning lamps were off prior to the engine failure The car rolled to the side of the road to get out of the way of other traffic. The service engine warning lamp was on after the engine shut off and stopped running. The car was towed to a service station, and they too could not get the car to start. The mechanic's troubleshooting ultimately found the engine's internal timing chain had broken, causing multiple of...

When driving vehicle transmission slips causing a jerk reaction in the vehicle and then it will renegade causing another jerk reaction in the vehicle and makes going and or stopping unpredictable. Turning left is dangerous as the car may not move forward at a speed that it should or may jerk in the middle causing the vehicle to stop in front of oncoming traffic. I have had a machanic change the transmission and it still does the same thing. I have contacted the manufacturers who informed me that there were no recalls and nothing they would do.

When pressing the break, the engine revs. I turned on the car and pressed the break. The engine revved. When I pressed the brake again it revved up to 7000 rpm. I turned off the car. I did this several times and it continued to happen. I was afraid to put the car in gear. While driving down the road a month ago the mini engine rpm raised and the car went faster even though I was not pressing the gas. I was able to stop it.

I made a right turn from the main street, into the parking lot of a strip mall, then an immediate left turn, and another right turn into the right angle parking slot. All the while having my foot on the brakes, I started to shift into park, when it was in the right spot. The mini instead coming to a stop, revved up, jumped the curb and hit the store in the front. The air bags deployed. I had my foot on the brakes really hard, all the time but the brake pedals were locked up. It would not move up or down. Sat hard...

My car only has 47,000 miles on it and has the same passenger side airbag issue. It started off at times having the problem, now is on all the time. Mini wants $125 to diagnose the problem, which seems evident. Also paid $425 to fix electrical wiring that corroded and $1,700 2 months earlier this year when wheel sensor went bad and 3 lights went off in the car.

Drivers foot well gets so hot that you can not touch the plastic by the accelerator and your foot starts cooking after 20 minutes or so.

Cpsc: mini cooper: consumer stated the cruise control would disengage. *Ss the consumer stated discovered when using the clutch and down shifting the cruise control did not disengage. The first time he tried the cruise control, while down shifting the vehicle maintained speed and shot forward instead of slowing down. *Jb

The car stalls(reduces speed 0-10mph) it may shut completely down at times this has been the same consistent problem since date of purchase the used car dealership has been informed of this problem since dop and for a moment I thought the problem had been solved but it turned out to be a recall on the power steering pump which was replaced back in july-aug 2013. The mini dealer also, thought they found the source of the problem but consistently just charged me monies for problem that never turned out to be the...

When the car accelerating on the first and second gear, there was a small jerking motion. Took it to the shop and they didn't find any problem with the car. One the day of the incident date, 01/08, when I started the car, the car have a loud engine sound, sounds like the car is chocking for air. The engine light is on with the rpm pointer running up and down (gas paddle is untouched). Took it to the dealer and the next day and they found there is oil leaking from the oil feed line to the turbo. $1200 To replace the part. Did some research online and found many mini owner had the same problem. *Tr

I was driving on the highway 12/04/2014 with cruise control active going about 75 mph. A truck in front of me became too close because he was going slower. My car began accelerating and I hit the brake to slow down, and de-activate the cruise control. However nothing happened and my mini-cooper continued to accelerate and I hit the rear end of the truck. I used the cruise control on/off and turned off the cruise control and I stopped accelerating. I changed lanes to pull over, however I had no brakes. I exited the...

The thermostat failed, the temperature elevated, the freeze plug fell out/broke out of place causing the head gasket to blow out. The coolant leaked into the oil and caused it to become "milky" therefore blowing out my engine. I was driving on the freeway at the time of the incident and the car failed to accelerate. Luckily people were kind enough to let me pass from the far left lane to the nearest exit and I did not crash. *Tr

Vehicle was driven 1.2 Miles for first run of the day. Temp was 48 f. Car was in drive at stoplight when engine accelerated beyond max rpm. Car lunged forward into intersection and a lot of effort had to be applied to brake to keed car from going any further. Driver grabbed gear shifter and shifted to neutral and having slipped into reverse. Engine rpm then subsided and vehicle was then driven 14 miles with no further incidence. *Tr

I have a 2004 mini cooper it has recently reached 87000 miles and the cvt transmission is failing. Normally you change your transmission fuel every 25,000 to 50,000 miles. My model mini cooper hatchback does not come with a reservoir to change such a fuel it was a guarantee by the manufacturer that these models would not need such a service and that the transmission would be fine throughout the lifetime of the car. What worries me is that I have not been able to drive my mini over 50mph due to the increase of...
