| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My april build 2003 mini cooper s experiences sudden momentary engine power losses, causing the car to violenty jerk during initial acceleration. furthermore, the car will randomly and without warning, lose all forward momentum just when i need it most, as in pulling out into oncoming traffic. no matter how much throttle is engaged, the car barely crawls foward for up to 3 seconds, then finally roars to life and takes off. it feels very much like trying to accelerate a car from a dead stop in 3rd gear, though the car is in 1st gear. this situation is dangerous and needs to have the highest priority within bmwna/miniusa. i, as well as many others, have repeatedly brought this to the attention of miniusa/bmwna and we are always told the same thing, that they are working on it. it has been over 6 months since these problems first began to surface. there has been no official communication from bmwna/miniusa regarding the issue.*ak |
