My 2011 Countryman S All4 was working perfectly fine yesterday afternoon. I parked it for a few hours then tried to start it again.

It cranked and cranked and cranked, but would not turn over. Then I got all these error messages.

The car was towed to the dealer last night. A friend who used to work at a BMW dealership thinks it's a faulty steering angle sensor that is preventing it from starting. I guess I'll find out soon.

Frustrating. 35k miles on the car and I've had to have it towed to the dealer 3 times.

 

 

Car was at the dealer all day and they didn't even look at it. Bummer.

 

Sounds like my mini dealer.

 

Any word on your car yet?

 

Not yet. Talked to them Friday and they still were not sure what was causing the errors to show up.

 

Dealer thinks it's a faulty DME module. They ordered a new one and should be able to get it installed/tested in a few days.

 

The dealer apparently replaced the DME module, but the new one started to fail as well. Seems like something else is actually causing the problem.

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks without my car. Haven't heard anything from the dealer since last Monday.

I hate the base model Cooper loaner. This is starting to get really frustrating. :(
