Consumer Description

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OF MY 2009 MINI COOPER CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT THE MINI COOPER DEALERSHIP IN FIFE, WASHINGTON AND WAS TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW I WAS TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN WOULD REMAIN MAINTENANCE-FREE THROUGHOUT THE FULL RUNNING LIFE OF THE ENGINE. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE MINI COOPER DEALERSHIP IN FIFE SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN OCTOBER 2008. *TR
