The contact owned a 2014 Mini Countryman. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle in his driveway, approximately two hours later the neighbor who noticed the windshield wipers were activated and that the interior of the vehicle was foggy, alerted the contact of their observance. The contact opened the door of the vehicle and discovered smoke and a burning amber-colored dashboard.
The lights change color spectrum, [xxx], flicker, black out, and then return to normal. An internet search of vehicle forums shows this is a frequently occurring mini problem and there was a bulletin circulating at mini dealerships regarding this problem.
Engine light turn on constantly. Engine was replaced leaks, sensors, sparks plugs etc. Car continues to jerk after changing parts. Unsafe to drive. Jerks after starting and speeds of 40MPH and highway speeds. Oil found in spark plugs and changed still has problems.
