The car completely quits running while you are driving it. Check engine light comes on but car has already died. Have to coast to a stop with no power steering since the engine has died. Car will not always restart. Sometimes it will crank but not turn over. Sometimes it will restart. Today it died while I was going 65mph on the interstate a D I had to Dodge across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder. Have had this exact issue before. 3 yrs ago I replaced the high pressure fuel pump for this exact same problem. This was a $1500 repair cost. MINIcooper said that 2010 MINIcoopers were not covered. Only minis up to tne year 2009 were covered in that safety recall so I paid out of pocket. However, MINIcooper used the same part that had been recalled on my 2010. It failed in 2017 and the replacement part has now failed again. MINIcooper called it a "known" issue, but would not cover the replacement cost in 2017. Repair order number with MINIcooper dealer: 262724 and part number 13-51-7-588-879

The high pressure fuel pump had the warranty extended to 10 years or 120000 miles due to federal emissions requirements on all years except the 2010. M01 01 16 [si] July 2016 shows the 2011 and 2012 and a letter from MINIshows 2007 -2009. Nobody at MINIcorporate understands why the 2010 was left out, but all agree it is the same pump and I have found thousands of complaints online saying the dealer did not honor the warranty because it was the wrong the year. These pumps fail and the vehicle fails emissions testing. The pump is 1300 dollars plus labor and can only be done at the dealer.

High pressure fuel pump failed, MINIhas issued ext warranties O the 2009, 2001, 20012 models because of this issue but not this model. Car is below 100,000 miles if these years have problems and now I am having a problem should the 2010 models be covered

Purchased car April 2014 w 46,000 miles. Warranty history showed valve gasket replaced. At 64000 miles dealer says it needs to be replaced again. Not told at purchase - at MINIdlr - that car consumes a quart of oil every 700 miles which I was just told by local servicing dealer that they consider that normal. Leak at gasket contributes to air infiltration and poor oil consumption I was told. I would not have purchased the car knowing this. It adds considerably to the operating costs. After telling servicing dlr this weekend that I knew the car had already had valve cover gasket replaced, he said he would cover 75% of over $800 cost. He obviously knew that it didn't or shouldn't need that work so soon after being done. The MINIdealers are thieves and withhold vital information. The strut mount apparently is also "domed" which speaks to structural integrity of this car. I would never recommend a MINIto anyone and feel their practices are completely unethical and the build quality is substandard to what is considered normal. Who needs to have the valve cover gaskets replaced twice in under 65,000 miles" who has to go and buy oil every month and a half" the last car I owned that needed that was a 20 year old 1975 Pontiac with over 100K. Miles. Garbage.
