Unhappy cooper s auto convertible STALLED again!

i've been having two major problems with my cooper S auto...

1. it stalled for the 2nd time. it's a automatic and it stalled like a manual. i had to restart the car. and the bad part was, it stalled on me on the freeway this time, which was quite dangerous.

i brought it in the dealer the 1st time, and they told me that the "computer" of the car did not indicate anything stalling (i really think that's BS). and that they can't fix it cus they cannot duplicate the problem at the dealership, without identifying the problem they won't know where to fix. so now after the 2nd time, i bought it in again.... they will get back to me monday.

2. my car has been jolting randomly. When slowing down from about 30-40 mph, it jolts. i brought it in to the dealership atleast 6 times. the first 5 times it was in, they cannot duplicate the problem...therefore, again, they cannot fix it , cus according to them, there's no problem. the 6th time, i left my car there for almost 3 weeks. then they finally expereiced the jolting.... and then found out that the transmission fluid was low.

after driving it for about a month... the problem is still there... althought the jolting is much softer, but once in a while it still jolts.

~
i am very fusterated with the problems and the way the dealership deals with it. has anyone here have the same problem with their cooper S auto?
please help!

Hi,

What year is your MCSa, and how many miles are on it?

As JimRay says ...

There were software issues with the early MCSa, and there's also been a wiring harness recall. Either of these could apply to your car if it's more than a few months old, and either could give you trouble.

Who is your dealership? Is there a different one you could visit?
