A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
My mini was involved in an accident on sept. 23, 2016, the front/back airbags on the drivers side deployed. The dealership is taking an unreasonable amount of time to deliver the parts to the collision company. I have been waiting since jan/2017 for the parts to my car. Since the left/right front airbags are recalls, is there a safety issue and why is it taking 6 months to receive them?
I purchased a Septor 4xs tire from Walmart in cypress Texas, I had a tire blowout 1 hour later at a high rate of speed. the Auto manager Santiago Quevedo at Walmart stated this is a well-known defect with this tire and had another blow out with this tire.
Purchased a factory demo mini countryman dec, 28th 2016 with 4,599 miles on the odometer. The factory supplied tires are goodyear efficiency grip run flat 225/45/r18. At apprx 13,000 during service at the dealership I was shown a "bubble" in the front passenger sidewall. No damage to rim nor was there any cosmetic indications of an impact. Tire is cracking around the egg sized bubble. It is incredible how large this is considering I have been in the automotive business for 21 years.
The barn style tailgate doors swing open while driving. This has happened on a number of occasions, including while driving on the freeway. If pressure is accidentally applied to the remote, one of the doors will swing open unexpectedly, potentially causing accidents.
