<<< I'm with MINI USA. Once again, you asked, and we're delivering.>>>

Fabulous. Now deliver us a software fix to rectify the "stumble".

OmToast, what state are you in? The buzz down here (Texas) is that this seems to be a warm weather problem that shows up most here and in FLA. I know MINIUSA is aware of the problem, if only from the deluge of complaints from local owners. Are you in a warmer climate or no? (We've had days in the 60s here this week and the problem still persists, so who knows!?!?!)

Hmm... thats an interesting interpretation of the problem...

But I'm in Pittsburgh. And Pittsburgh has only become aware of the mid June reality of this pre-summer in the past 3 days. So, we'd been in the 50s (upper) until recently venturing into the 60s and *gasp* 70's over the past few days.

Grumble grumble... no sun and my car lurches

I'm in Oregon and I have the stumble so I doubt it's climate related.

I'm in Atlanta and I have it whether it's 90 degrees in the daytime or 70 degrees at night. I didn't have the stumble until last week when they upgraded my software.

I think I experienced "the Stumble" yesterday...

Is it when you have the Auto AC engaged and have to come to a stop (either downshifting or coasting) and the engine just seems to "stumble" as the rpm's get to a low point and it catches its breath....almost to a stall!

With all due respect to OmToast's interest in garnering more of MINIUSA's attention to this problem, let's please not start ANOTHER thread on this.

Here's the link to what's becoming the comprehensive "stumble" thread. This has links as well to several of the pre-dating threads on the stumble. MINIUSA has indeed checked in on this, and is apparently "working on it" (although all of us would agree that the work could certainly stand to move faster!).

The stumble doesn't seem to have anything to do per se with outside temperature (although long cranking times with a cold engine IS one of the symptoms and is a "feature" of the 33.2 software upgrade) NOR the on/off status of the Air Conditioning.
