The power steering pump, fan, hydraulic fluid pump chf 1 core charge) and hose clamp were replaced by the dealer 5 days earlier. mini cooper/bmw sent me a letter for voluntary replacement because my mini copper 2003 had too many complaints with this issue. the car was running ok except for the power steering after the replacement i only drove about 70 miles because i was off from my school. the incident happened on july 15, 2013 approximately at 3:45 pm. i drove about 30 miles back from work. parked the car in front of rite aid in rancho palos verdes. when i returned to the car it wouldn't start. used jump cables for several minutes without success. went to my mechanic close by. my mechanic came to look at the car, he was able to start the car. i drove back home about 6 miles. when i parked the car the car was very hot and most of the lights in the panel were lighten. i must mention that my car has a new battery and new starter (both were replaced 9 months ago). it seems that the problem is directly related to the electrical system and to the replacement of the part on 7/17/2013. *tr
