The cars transmission jumps out of 1st gear when turning onto a city street or accelerating from a stoplight on a city street. I was almost rear ended 3 times this week and it's very dangerous. This has happened numerous times this past week and is a documented problem with the 2015 MINICooper S manual. My car only has 25,400 miles on it. The warranty just expired on 05/18/2019 (out by date) this month and the dealer refuses to repair the problem under warranty. If this is a documented problem, why doesn't the dealer take the steps to fix it properly?

Premature clutch failure 34,500 miles, while the dealer repaired the problem under warranty they informed me about the clutch being too small to downshift the car to slow down. I didn't spend northwards of 40K on a sports car only to be told all slowing down should be done with the braking system. You buy a stick shift car to be able to do these things normally. To be told by the dealers service representative the clutch is inadequate for this normal driving practice was quite a surprise had the salesperson told me this I would not have purchased the vehicle. I guess the real surprise will be when it goes out again and I have to pay to have a design flaw repaired at my own expense. This clutch problem seems to be prevalent in the all wheel drive version where apparently the friction coefficient of 4 wheels to the pavement exceeds that of the clutch.

While in bumper to bumper traffic car lunged while accelerating. Was at a complete stop then lifted off brake and began to feed in gas when the transmission shifted from first to second (automatic transmission) the car lunged or jumped forward. The action was so severe my first action after hitting brakes was to check rear view mirror thinking I had been rear ended. Car has 19700 miles and went into ottos MINIfor evaluation and repair of other issues and was told transmission is in normal working order. However my service adviser told me that she personally had experienced the same issues and that its due to too much technology in the cars.
