Consumer Description

I AM BEING TOLD BY KNAUZ MINI REPAIR THAT THE TIMING BELT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT IS A $2000 REPAIR. IN LOOKING AT THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CAN HAVE TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES. IN FACT, THERE IS ONE CLASS ACTION SUIT IN NJ ABOUT IT. MINI REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO A DESIGN FAILURE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
