On October 18th we received a high voltage battery recall notice for this car. Apparently there were some thermal events (fires) and BMW has released software to help protect the car from such an event.  We have been trying to get in touch with MINI, and just recently found that the dealer closed. They left their answering machine online for about a month after. The local BMW dealer says that they cannot perform the update (MINI USA requested we ask them).  MINI USA now says that the car must be trucked 300 miles away to the closest dealer. The car cannot even be driven that far because it has about 100 miles of range, the roads are 75+, and there is limited charging infrastructure.  We feel that this presents an undue time and financial burden since the dealer closed down, and this is a manufacturing defect. I have repeatedly been in touch with MINI but have received very little support or advice other than spending an enormous amount of money to have the vehicle shipped out of state.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"MINI","productModel":"COOPER","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11571293,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"02/09/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"02/11/2024","vin":"WMWXP3C00M2","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"Digital instrument cluster of electric Mini SE (includes speedometer and battery/range information) turns off without warning while driving and does not turn back on until car is powered down for over half an hour. This has happened more than ten times. Vehicle was inspected by MINI dealer locally and no obvious equipment defect was identified, although they were able to replicate it happening. After disassembly and reassembly by dealer, issue stopped for about two weeks after car was returned to owner. Now it has begun again, to the point of turning off within a few minutes of driving every day, rendering car unusable as driver has no other speedometer in vehicle. After sitting for half an hour, the instrument cluster will turn on when the car is turned on next, only to go out again after a few minutes of driving. Other electronics in car do not appear affected and car operates normally.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"MINI","productModel":"COOPER","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11519216,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/22/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"04/27/2023","vin":"WMWXU9C0XM2","components":"STEERING","summary":"The car completely lost steering in traffic. I brought it back to the Mini dealership, they informed me this is a known issue for Mini Coopers equipped with the click-and-play system, and they needed to re-wire the click-and-play to fix it. However Mini decided this should not be a recall. I strongly disagree with Mini's assessment considering losing steering on the road could cause severe accidents.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"MINI","productModel":"COOPER","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11499386,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":true,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/13/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"12/29/2022","vin":"WMWXU7C04M2","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"After work, I started the car in a parking lot.
