Description of the problem	Took my 2010 mini cooper s to a mini dealership in ann arbor mi, where they had the car for 8 days and finally came back to me saying that its the timing chain that needs replacing, which is a fix with a total cost of around $1,500. I previously had a 2007 mini cooper, which also had the same issue, where in that case the timing chain had actually broken. This issue seems to be widespread and mini na needs to issue a recall on this particular part for the model years that this design defect has affected. Prior to this issue, i had only owned the vehicle for 6 weeks and was purchased from motor city mini, which is an official mini dealer. This vehicle also went through an inspection before being sold to me.
