    Yea I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow morning but wanted to make sure it would be ok to drive the 40 miles to the dealer as it is. The dealer said to just drive it.... so that is what I will do...

    It did come with roadside but the dealer said they want me to just drive it in so I made him write that on my account and send me a copy just in case this turns any worse on the drive tomorrow.

    They only have 2 loaners apparently and they are NEVER available.

    As usual Thanks again for the info!

    You're still warranty. Schedule an appointment. Did the 2012s come with roadside assistance as well? If so, you're covered for the tow too.

    Took it in this morning and coolant sensor had failed and will be replaced under campaign. Waiting for an update on the stuck thermostat and other codes.

    Will update once I hear back.

    They were out of loaners and gave me a Ford Fiesta rental on them... I MISS my MINI!!!!!

    Many/most 2012s got their coolant sensors replaced via a MINI campaign. Mine did, at first service (15k). It hadn't caused any issues...
