What is your question?
Just bought vehicle 3x ago. Now needs 4 motor mounts and transmission rebuild. Dealer now says this is all a new issue and is taking no responsibility. Can in fact 4 mounts and a transmission go if i only had the vehicle 3 weeks and only drove 200 miles

Typically, these components would not fail in three weeks. Engine and Transmission mount issues are common in this region. As far as the transmission failing, I would have to determine what caused the transmission to fail prior to giving you a proper course of action. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. Dan Prucha R&M Auto Repair Xperts (702)815-0444
Hello, did you buy this car from a private party or a dealership? If from a private party, you are probably entirely stuck. If from a dealership, I would seek some goodwill help from them. Did you have an independent inspection done prior to purchasing the vehicle? I am aware of some of these Mini vehicles where the automatic transmission can develop problems, but am not certain as to the cause of all the failures you are speaking of.
The answers are no. The used dealership failed to provide me a copy of or do a drivetrain inspection so there is a truth in the product offered here. However I'm trying to get some fact in check. When I test drove the vehicle I made the salesmen aware of a plastic sounding ticking noise in the front engine compartment to which he just blew it off saying that happens when cars get some age., 94K miles. I also had them check the vehicle for a strong pull to the left I have only had the vehicle less than three weeks and drove less than 200 miles but I'm trying to ascertain is what this a pre-existing issue. Thank you
My suggestion would be to aggressively communicate with the used vehicle sales folks that you bought the vehicle from and express your concerns and seek resolution. Buyer indeed beware, but I hold hope that the dealer that sold you the vehicle is willing to work with you since you purchased it so recently. Best of luck.
