Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had my brand new 2005 mini cooper s automatic for less than one month when it stalled in the middle of the street - the engine just stalled out or went into what i've been told is "limp mode". luckily, the street wasn't crowded and i was able to coast to the side of the road. but what if i was on the freeway???? i've subsequently found out many people have had the same problem and bmw knows about it, but hasn't been able to fix the problem correctly. i believe this is a huge safety issue! bmw said it is a software problem and they have made updates, but i don't believe it has been corrected. i am still afraid to drive on the freeway for fear of becoming a statistic! bmw should at least notify all mcs automatic owners of the potential hazard! *jb |
