CarComplaints.com Notes: Power steering problems are a major issue with the 2005 Mini Cooper, with hundreds of owners reporting complaints to the NHTSA about their power steering suddenly failing while driving.
Some power steering failures have caused crashes & injuries. Average mileage at failure is well under 100,000 miles & the repair cost is over $1,000. Not good.
kept losing antifreeze car was new dealer said it was because I only drove 20 miles a day. found out it is a closed system & driving has nothing to do with it. As a result I have never trusted this car. I haven't met another mini owner who hasn't had a problem. kathy
