We have classified the 2 complaints from 2007 MINI Cooper S about VISIBILITY into the following categories.
The dual power sunroof is stuck in the open position. after doing some research i have found that this happens very frequently on the 2007 model mini's and nothing is being done by the manufacturer. to fix the problem mini is charging over $2500.00 to correct this. there should be a recall on this item. *tr
I have had previous issues with the panoramic sunroof, i had to get it replaced. then i had issues with the chain and chain tensioner and had to get that replaced too. now the steering has failed on me, i can't start the car or even move the steering wheel. my steering is locked now; i had the car running, everything seemed to run fine and the steering worked fine. once i shut the car off i couldn't start the car back up and my steering locked up. i had to get my car towed home. i wish bmw would do some kind of a recall on this car so we wouldn't have to pay so much money out of our own pockets! *tr
Several weeks ago i found a crack in windshield of 2007 mini cooper s on passenger side below wiper. i had the windshield replaced and car was returned to me on sept. 10th. on sept. 16 i found another crack in the new glass in approximately same spot! after looking on internet i found that stress cracking of the windshield is a common problem with this car. anyway, the dealer claims it is an impact crack and only a coincidence that it occurred in same spot! after arguing they agreed to replace the windshield at their cost--as a courtesy. i was not aware of anything hitting the windshield and even if a small pebble hit--the windshield should not crack so easily. *tr
