Consumer Description

OUR 2004 MINI COOPER S IS LOOSING POWER STEERING RANDOMLY MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE . ITS VERY RANDOM , I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME KIND OF SPORT MODE BUT YOU CANT EVEN CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CAR KICKS INTO "PARALYSIS", TOTALLY WEIRD ...I'VE OWNED ALL FOREIGN CARS MOSTLY JAPANESE ,AND GERMAN ...THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND I GREW UP IN THE CAR BUSINESS DRIVING EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.....IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF MINI LOOSES ITS REPUTATION OVER SOMETHING LIKE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM JUST FIX THE PROBLEM ITS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR DEFECT ON THE ENGINEERING .....SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL TO ME ....PLEASE DON'T JOIN TOYOTAS CRASH PARADE. *TR
