Anyone with reliability issues on a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman?

Not the best choice in cars if you want reliability and low maintenance costs.

yes, Too much money for maintenance. I have 2014 countryman abd it’s losing power after 2-3 miles and Uou would know its coming cuz the car jerks first then the half l full yellow engine symbol comes on.

In 2016 I bought a Countryman in great shape with 35,000 miles, in the two years that I have had is I have spent $5,000 on spark plug coils, a melted thermostat, a new radiator and the tire pressure sensor. I am going to unload this car before anything else happens.

We have a used 2014 Mini Countryman 43,000 miles. $1,200 in repairs for gasket leak and oil change. 6 weeks later they are telling me that there is coolant in the turbo. That should have been seen during the oil change. They are checking into getting repairs covered because previous owner had similar problem. That would have been nice to have seen on the car fax. No way can I put $12,000 in a lemon. Yes, we were quoted $12,000 in repairs, not a typo! I love the car but repairs are insane! No warning either. No temp light, nothing. The engine light came on and was done. Had to be towed. Of course the dealership is over an hour away. So disappointed!

I have a 2013 countryman S. As soon as warranty ran out 3 door locks went. Cost me $800 each to replace. Oil leaks throughout valve cover, could and spark plugs. Needs a rebuild of the engine for $6000. BiG LEMON!

Bought 2012 Countryman S All4 new. TMPS light has been on since 3,000. At 50,000 miles had coolant leak and possible oil migration from solenoid in oil pan to computer, $3,600 for repairs. Coolant leak again within four months, then stopped. At 66,000 miles had coolant leak from different area, $1,900 in repairs. Mini in Gaithersburg, MD maintenance is a big upscale scheme. They remove perfectly good parts to get to the bad parts and then instead of reinstalling the good parts, they charge you for installing new parts because they won’t accept responsibility for the integrity of the part/process or they know the entire cooling system is faulty.

I have a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman that WAS running perfectly until I accepted the change of the water pulley as part of a preventive maintenance during an oil change in San Diego. A week later, the fan starts to remain on long after the car was turned off. The guys at the Mini of San Diego said it was fine. Another week passes, and then while in Denver, the car starts making gargling noises on a Friday afternoon. The dealership was closed. I had to extend my stay in the area and I took it to the Mini of Loveland. They said everything was fine, that the band was a bit worn out. They changed it. Next day, I pick up the car. I drive 30 min at the highway and the car overheats, and I stopped to let it cool down and took it back to the dealership of Loveland, and they said it was the fan. Next morning they call me to say that THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED and that I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. After having spent 600 here and 600 there, my new quote is $7000 for an used engine or $10,000 for a new one. My car had to be towed all the way back home, and I had to pay $1500 dls for that. In Mexico, the mechanic found that there were some relevators and fuses missing that were causing malfunctioning at the cooling system. Who took them? The Mini at San Diego, the Mini at Loveland? I paid another towing service to take it to Mexico. I spent $1,500 USD here to have the engine repaired, new fan, plantinum spark plugs, cleaning of the acceleration system, injectors cleaning, coolant system purged, new battery. The car runs well now. Moral: Stay away from the dealership if you need repairs as the only thing they will do is plug the computer and replace parts without taking ANY responsibility of the damage/repairs. They back up each other by saying that the repairs were ok and that the missing electric components vanished by themselves.
