Hi. I have a GP and an 06 MCS.

I had a SEL on the 06 recently, O2 sensor related.

GP today lost power, SEL blinked a few times, then stayed solid. My brother was driving the car as I'm at work. I'll check the code tonight but I bet it's O2 sensor related.

I just received the letters in the mail regarding the defective O2 sensors for MY04-06.

Anybody else have this problem?

 

How many miles on the cars? GPMINI has not had any such issue, yet (nor did GBMINI#3)

 

17k on the 06 and 10k on the gp.

No mods on the gp other than an intake. Just got home so i'll pull the code now.

 

Just pulled the code.

P0300.

Random/Multiple misfires.

Didn't rain today, wasn't cold, no mods and inspected the wires. everything look clean but tomorrow I will pull the plugs and see if there is any damage.

Hm.

 

I got the OX Sensor letter but have not had a problem yet with 41,000 miles.

It frustrates me that Mini was not required to perform a recall for this issue since I have seen multiple reports of cars that just stop running due to the OX Sensor failure. I will be pissed if my car stops running and it is due to the OX Sensors that were not recalled. I am 120 miles from the closest dealer so if this happens my car will be out of commission for a week with a long flatbed trip back and forth to the dealer.

 

I got the same letter but have had no issues with my GP...yet. I will discuss with my service guy and let you know!

 

I had this issue with my 06 MCS 3 days after I picked it up in Jun 06. My GP I have had no issues at 7345 miles.
