VISIBILITY PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-22
- VIN: WMWXS5C54FT
- Components: VISIBILITY
- Summary: While driving the rear view mirror suddenly tilted downward (drooped). What happened, was that the tension ring popped off. As it turns out, this is a known issue per internet Mini Cooper pages. On hot days the ring loosens and, since the design does not include anything to prevent the ring from sliding off, it does slide off, resulting in the rear view mirror drooping. I reinstalled the ring. This occurred again the next day. I ended up uninstalling the rear view mirror, reinstalling the ring and gluing it in place. Thus far this has held.

- Summary: On July 12 early morning hours I left Maryland drove to Augusta GA and continued on to Decatur GA totaling 704 Miles. Within an hour of me arriving to Atlanta, I attempted to leave the house again and the car would not crank. I had it towed to Global Mini there in Chamblee, GA. The key stopped communicating with the car, and I was asked to give them my spare key-I did not travel with my spare key and the key fob design does not have a replaceable battery per the dealership the fob is designed to charge while driving. I had to pay for someone to overnight my second key-which did crank the car. I had to purchase another key and I had to rent a car until they ordered another key to have sent to the dealer because the dealer does not make keys. This is a safety issue because i made several stops for gas and restroom breaks and what if this happened in the middle of nowhere? It was a scary situation and I feel that we should have been notified as owners that this could be a possible event. I purchased this vehicle brand new in 2015.

- Summary: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 MINI Cooper Hardtop 2 door vehicles manufactured February 25, 2014, to May 16, 2015, 2014-2015 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2 door vehicles manufactured March 28, 2014, to May 9, 2015, 2015 MINI Cooper Hardtop 4 door vehicles manufactured October 17, 2014, to June 2, 2015, and 2015 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 4 door vehicles manufactured November 24, 2014, to June 11, 2015. During a service appointment, the affected vehicles received replacement front passenger seat cushions (which contain integral Capacitive Interior Sensing (CIS) functions). The CIS functions may have been incorrectly calibrated, and if so, would cause impaired occupant classification and thus inappropriate air bag activation/deactivation.
- Consequence: Inappropriate air bag activation/deactivation can increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy: MINI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front passenger seat cushion, free of charge. The recall began on December 28, 2015. Owners may contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525 .

Due to a manufacturing error, the passenger frontal air bag may not deploy properly in a low speed crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- Consequence: In the event of a vehicle crash, an air bag that does not deploy properly increases the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.

2015 JCW 2 dr convertible owner. Really great car! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your Mini. It sounds like it's a lot of fun to drive with its punchy acceleration and wonderful cornering. It's great that it's easy to park too. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!

I purchased my 2014 MINI Convertible used in 2019 with 79,000 miles. I have been driving it for almost a year now and have put about 7,000 miles on it. Fortunately, I have not encountered any issues except for some weatherstrip peeling up on the passenger's window. I use this car primarily for my daily commute, and it is hands down my favorite part of the day. I absolutely adore driving home with the top down on summer nights. It is the only car I have ever aimlessly driven around just for the sake of driving. I have driven it for up to 6 consecutive hours, and it performed exceptionally well. While there may be some road noise on the highway, I love how quickly I can get up to speed. The front seat is comfortable, but I have never had someone ride in the back for an extended period of time. However, I did not purchase the car as a passenger vehicle. If you plan on having more than two people in the car, I would not recommend it.
-
I really enjoyed the comfortable front seat and the responsive acceleration!
-
It's great to hear that you find the car fun to drive and spacious, especially with your height. The fold-down back seats are also a convenient feature for loading larger items. Thank you for sharing your experience!
-
You've got yourself a fantastic car!

As a long-time BMW MINI owner who has always loved them, my point of view may not be relevant to those who haven't previously owned a MINI. The BMW MINI was attractive because of its small size, uniqueness, and fun-to-drive nature. It was like therapy, as one local reviewer in Maryland put it. However, BMW seems to be following the same route as Ford did with its innovative car in the '60s, which eventually became a parody of itself. BMW is turning the MINI into just another compact car to address the negatives appearing in professional reviews. They have tried to make up for this by adding high-tech gimmickry, like color-changing LEDs and artificial sound effects, which serve only to make a cartoon out of the car. The car has gotten huge compared to the previous MINIs. If you are buying this car for rear seat room and a living room on wheels ride, you are in the wrong place. The 2015/2016 MINI hardtops are almost indistinguishable from the Countryman, both viewed from the outside and when sitting inside. This isn't because the Countryman is tiny. On the technical side, one could say everything is The average driver may find the size of the car cramped and the ride a bit hard, which could lead them to look for other options. However, those who have fond memories of the original MINI may still find it appealing. As for me, I might consider a Miata or a GTI. UPDATE: I used to own a MINI, but I have since test driven a 219 Countryman S and Cooper S. The quality has improved significantly, with a quieter and smoother ride. However, they no longer have the same charm as the original MINIs. Although they still have some unique and fun features, the prices have become too high, with a fully equipped Countryman S costing $44,000.

I love the car! It's fun to drive, quick, nimble, and I happen to think it's cute too. However, it's not the cheapest compact you can buy and the quality for the price really isn't there. I wish they would put as much pride and quality into the car as it deserves.
