- Electrical system
The rear backup lights donât work due to the defective footwell control module. This is a symptom of the defective FCM. Itâs been well over a year and Mini hasnât had the parts. Very worrisome when our young daughter is backing up and the lights are out!
- Suspension
I have had 2 problems with the springs breaking on my car which seems like a very odd thing, especially for a 2014 model that is not abused. This seems like a manufacturing defect and can easily cause an accident due to tire blowout and/or unpredictable handling. 1) The most recent problem occurred on February 8, 2023 with the front springs.

Fortunately I was on surface streets driving around 20-30MPH when this started (noticed smoke from the wheel well and a burning smell. I was only a block or two from a friends house when this started and was lucky the tire did not blow…
- Air bags
AFTER GETTING NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AT MINI DEALER IN AUSTIN TEXAS AIR BAG NO LONGER WORKS. SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN DRIVER OR TWO ADULTS IN FRONT SEATS. DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT EASILY FIX WITHOUT REMOVING SEATS. MANY MINI CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT AIRBAG NOT WORKING ON USER FORUMS. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.
