Consumer Description

LEAVING FOR WORK, HEARD A SNAP AND LOST POWER TO ENGINE LESS THAN A MILE FROM HOME. PULLED OVER, THEN COASTED (WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES) DOWNHILL TO A SAFER SPOT. TOWED TO MECHANIC; ISSUE IS BROKEN TIMING CHAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST A FEW MONTHS OUTSIDE THE FINAL RECALL DATES FOR SKEEN V BMW. I BELIEVE THE CLASS WAS TOO NARROWLY DEFINED; THIS 2010 COOPER S (69K MI) HAS THE SAME N14 ENGINE AND PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. (CAN'T TELL BUT FROM SOME OF THE EARLY REPORTING ON THAT CASE IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS CAR MAY HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AN EARLIER VERSION/DRAFT??). VERY UPSET THAT THIS CAR HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND ISSUE COVERED BY THE RECALL, AND YET WE HAVE NO RECOURSE! *TR
