Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS IN TRAFFIC, DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME FROM AN OIL CHANGE, WHEN THE TIMING CHANGE BROKE CAUSING HER TO LOSE POWER. THE LOSS OF POWER CREATED A DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE MAIN ROADS AND WE HAD IT TOWED BY AAA TO THE MINI DEALERSHIP. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT WITH BMW MINI OVER THE DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS, THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL EFFORT BY THE MANUFACTURER.
