My car has a new Whine to it, and not the good kind
- Thread starter Dasfinc

I didn't expect I'd get flack for that.
I'm disappointed that the other 'used car' issues it has they are full-stop unwilling to correct or are pulling the 'it works fine' card :-/
Can't hang up phone calls with steering wheel button
Top requires a small amount of 'manual alignment' for both sides to latch
Glove box doesn't latch smoothly, has to be slammed
Front suspension moans over bumps (known TSB, failing lower control arm bushings).
They claimed they couldn't replicate any of those issues.
Car has 3.31s
Trans also grinds going into second and third but only when near freezing temps... Of course they can't replicate that...
I would put some good trans oil in it and see if that helps the grinding issue, hopefully we wont have near freezing temps again for a while after tonight though lol, what was your wine like just decell wine or all the time ive had a bit for a while but i was not nice to my car from day one im assuming its the rear end
and now you know why it was traded in,
i would find a better dealer. In the mean time, i would lube (tiny bit of grease) the latch on the glove box to see if that helps.
put in good rear end fluid and trans fluid to see if that helps.
how much adjustment are we talking about on the vert top, 1" or less, if any more press the issue once you find a better dealer.
ive been told "we cant replicate that" so i showed them myself and had the problem occur, so they new exactally what was going wrong and why.
you might need to have the service writer guy take a ride with you to show them. techs arnt always willing to really look into stuff under warranty as they make less money on warranty stuff.

I don't mind the little stuff to be honest, still LOVE the car, I still think I'm just sour about the back to back experience between Mini and Ford.
dealer said the same.
