Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, CAR LOST OIL PRESSURE SUDDENLY, OIL POURED OUT OF VEHICLE, SMOKING AS WARNING LIGHTS INDICATED "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" AND THEN, "LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE: STOP VEHICLE". DIAGNOSED AS A FAILURE OF A WELDING ON THE OIL PUMP HOUSING. MINI REPLACED PART AND RETURNED CAR TO ME. WITHIN 1 MILE, "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" IGNITED AGAIN. A WEEK LATER, THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. I SOLD IT BACK TO MINI AS A LEMON.
