Replying to: sburchill (Jul 21, 2007 12:49 pm)  numba-tu.com, so I can get a list going. The first step after finding a lawyer is to get a demand letter over to BMW to compensate us for the money and time lost. We could commence litigation if BMW does not respond within a certain amount of time. Those of you who know other Mini drivers, please spread the word. I am tired of being taken advantage of by big companies. Just got back from another Mini Blog and here is a suggestion for all to do: One immmediate option we have is for everyone to open a case with the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). I opened a case with them on 7/13/2007 and at that time only 1 other issue had been opened regarding the MINI CVT transmission. I feel that if enough consumers open issues with NHTSA the MINI Corp. will be forced to respond to this issue in some way, hopefully a recall since the issue seems to be occuring after the car is out of warrenty. The contact information for NHTSA is as follows and it only takes about 15 minuites to open a case. (You will need your VIN number) NHTSA 1-888-327-4236 or http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ Please pass this information on to any other blogs to get the word out. I refuse to pay MINI another 7-8 thousand for a new transmission.

Replying to: zmaster2 (Jul 10, 2007 4:03 pm) I'm happy to report that I have not had any more mechanical issues since the transmission was replaced. Of course the passenger side front seat is now in a permanently reclined position, but at least it's drivable. |

Replying to: british_rover (Sep 02, 2007 1:55 pm)  One thing weird & dumb is that there's no dip stick to check the transmission fluid level. I'm not sure why they'd do something like that!
