| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Mini cooper s has severe hesitation when starting from a standing start. the problem is unrelated to throttle or clutch pedal position. car bogs for a few seconds (when making a left against traffic it feels like an eternity) when in first gear at approximately 1800 rpm then resumes accelerating. service advisor at dealership told me it's a "characteristic" of the car. representative at mini usa told me they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. the is no fix at the present time and no estimate as to when there will be one. for the time being, mini owners have to pray each time they enter an intersection. *la |
