1 /5 Ryan Greaux: ***owners response***: doesn’t explain why the light came on IMMEDIATELY after the transmission repair. Offers no alternative other than let’s quote you a new sensor. Hard to check the connection without the car in the air. Pulling codes is easy. I get it, recentering the steering gear isn’t quick but it’s what I wanted fixed after spending over 6k but how is that possible without removing the column connection. Blame it on being a Mini and blame the customer for buying the car? WOW.
Had a transmission installed, got car back with traction light on, pullling to the right. Was told wait and see if it goes away. It didn’t. Informed Chad of the light and was given a laundry list of codes. But the traction light was never on since we bought the car so what happened? Looked into it and found the SAS was off by 360 degrees…so maybe the rack wasn’t centered when reinstalled? Called ahead and told him we were coming back but after I asked for the rack to be looked at all we were given were the traction codes. Again..codes that were not there prior. Chad says if it’s something they did wrong have it diagnosed by the BMW dealer. BMW of Macon only maintains BMW no diagnosing or even maintenance on Minis according to the service advisor. So I’m stuck with a car no one wants to even double check the gear unless I travel almost 100 miles to a Mini shop closer to Atlanta. Can’t someone just check the gear and column connection instead of pulling the same codes?? Spent 3600 on a clutch here and another 2600 on a transmission three months later just to keep having more problems that never existed prior to the transmission repair.
