Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The hood (right above the hood scoop) on my r56 07 mini cooper s is extremely hot after any driving at all. it's literally hot enough to melt the plastic on the hood. this is well over 200 degrees f and is a huge safety hazard to not only myself but any individual passing by the car. i'm deathly afraid that this will either start a fire in my garage or cause an individual to accidentally burn themselves on the hood of my car. i have already been burned from this once by placing my hand on the hood. *tr
