Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I SLOWED DOWN, AND I HEARD CLUNKING ROCK LIKE NOISES. MY CAR ROLLED TO A STOP. MY MECHANIC HAS VERIFIED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN IS BROKEN, WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. THE MINI COOPER FORUMS HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2007 MINI COOPER S MODELS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. MINI HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT THEY NEED TO. IMMEDIATELY. *TR
