This page covers 1 recall and 28 owner complaints for the 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman.
Electrical issues dominate what owners of the 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman report, with the ECU and foot well module drawing the most attention. A recurring pattern involves water intrusion, typically traced to the sunroof draining into the driver's foot well, leading to module short circuits, loss of lighting functions, inoperative windows, and brake light failures. Several owners describe the high beams stopping work entirely after the control module fails. The engine is the next most-reported system, with a smaller cluster of complaints, though no single symptom stands out as strongly there. A handful of owners also report airbag warning lights illuminating, often appearing alongside other electrical faults rather than as a standalone issue. The water-into-foot-well pattern and its downstream effect on lighting and module function is the most consistent thread across the complaint set.
