There are 1 owner-reported steering complaints for the 2021 MINI Cooperin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
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.
