On my 2009 mini cooper clubman with automatic transmission, the power steering failed. our teenager was priacticing parallel parking for about 15 minutes on a hot day. after it failed, we turned off the car. two hours later when we restarted the car it was functioning again. the dealer, says they cannot do anything unless they can reproduce the problem, which they have not. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) t
