Cooper S 4-cyl

  • 30,000 miles
My daughter experienced complete power steering failure while she was driving her MINIcooper, nearly causing a collision with an oncoming vehicle. I drove the car afterward and could not believe how hard it was to steer the car (compared to a manual steering vehicle). I called MINIat their toll free number and was told that they had no recall notice from the NHTSA, therefore they had no obligation to fix this incredible defect. I hope it doesn't take a body count for the NHTSA to recall the 223,000 MINIs effected by this extremely dangerous defect.
