TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MINI COOPER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, BUT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HABBERSTAD BMW (945 E JERICHO TURNPIKE, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY 11746) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND DECLINED TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. *TT *TR
COMING UP TO AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW NORMALLY. THEN THE ABS KICKED IN AND THE CAR DID THE SHUDDER LIKE WHEN THE ABS IS ACTIVE. THEN THE ABS TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKES WENT SPONGY. THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION THROUGH THE STOP SIGN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO MINI OF AUSTIN IN TEXAS. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NO CODES WERE THROWN. MY WIFE TOO THE CAR BACK, AND DRIVE BACK TO SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. SHE EXPERIENCED SUBSEQUENT IDENTICAL BRAKE FAILURES. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO MINI OF MURRAY. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR A MONTH, AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. CORPORATE MINI WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY PART REPLACEMENT AT ALL. THEY WANT US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS A SMART OR SAFE IDEA.
