Consumer Description

THE STEERING HAS STARTED TO BECOME EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE AND THE CAR STARTS TO LOSE CONTROL AT ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS SLIGHT BUT IT IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS SITUATION SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO A COMPLAINT THAT HAS LED TO A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND THE RECALL OF SOME MINI COOPERS. UNFORTUNATELY OUR VIN WAS NOT ON THE LIST, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THAT MINI COOPERS FROM 2002-2009 HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.
