My CVT MC is 3 mos. old. A few times it has sputtered and stalled when coming to a stop. However, as opposed to what has been described by others happening in hot weather, I am living in NJ where it is getting colder and the problem is getting worse. Today the car stalled when stopped after driving for an hour without a problem. Neither the heat nor AC were on at the time.

Also, anyone experiencing a blinking of the exterior temperature gauge? At 37 degrees my temp gauge blinks and beeps - then goes back to normal. Maybe it's just telling me to move to a warmer climate!

Any help is appreciated.

Love my Cooper!

 

That beep and blinking is just telling you that roads and bridges *may* be icy. It's just a safety feature, and 100% normal. Dont have a CVT though, so cant help you with that part.

 

Concerning the temp guage - on our explorer, the temp flashes ICE when the outside temp gets to about 35 degrees meaning the road conditions may be icy- Maybe the MINI is voicing the same?!?

 

Just what we need: a car that informs us that water freezes at a specific temperature.

What would really be valuable is a light that signals that the seats are too hot to sit on in shorts in the middle of a summer heat-wave!

I'd like to have an "Ignition is on" warning light. Then I won't have to stop the car, lift the bonnet and check.

 

Hey, don't laugh... as of, oh, 2004? 2008? flat tire monitoring systems will be MANDITORY on all new cars...

I'm waiting for the pants that will hold your... errr.. nevermind...

but really, the temp gague thing isn't a half bad idea.. why? Well, i don't know about you guys, but when i'm driving, i'm not really focused on the outside temp. display...
