Owner report 11627561 · 2024-11-26 (November 26, 2024)
When making a right turn, and turning speed, our new cars braking system activated, locked the brakes, and steering wheel, causing the vehicle to slide into oncoming traffic. The cars safety system overrode the driver, now allowing me to maneuver away from on coming traffic until the vehicle came to a complete stop. I believe the reason it did this, is the cars safety system thought it was about to be in a head on collision being fed wrong AI to the cars computers and cameras. The vehicle had less than 300 miles at the time of the incident.

On May 29, 2026, my 2025 MINI Countryman SE (battery-electric) became completely immobilized when the charging connector locked into the vehicle's charge port and could not be released. With the connector locked in, the vehicle could not be moved, shifted to neutral, or driven. The defect is in the factory charge-port locking mechanism. The connector could not be freed by me, by a MINI master technician working remotely for about 45 minutes, by the tow operator, or by the dealership's own service manager, who tried for over two minutes using b…

Owner report 11614439 · 2024-09-13 (September 13, 2024)
I have been waiting for this car for well over a month now. I do not know what is causing the delay in receiving this part so that I may pick up the car. I will be without a car in 3 weeks time when my current lease is up with my 2022 Hyudai Tucson which has broken down an needed to be towed 3 x in 6 weeks for a fuel injector problem. I placed a deposit on the Mini Cooper Countryman in the first week of August expecting to pick up the car that week. Why can't any of the BMWs and Mini Coopers complete these needed repairs instead of halting/…
