MINI Stopped while driving on highway!

I was driving along on a busy road when my car just stopped!! I almost got hit by another car!!

I put on my hazards and turned the key off and on then it started. It happened again later. There was no warning either time! It was really frightening! I have a 2005 r50 with a cvt tranny. Could it be the tranny?

I am at 42k and my warranty runs out in December. What should I do and what do you think caused it?

Wow... that would scare me too! I agree with ravenofshys.
I would be nervous about driving it...have it looked at while your warranty is still active.

I have an 05R50 5speed with 85k miles and haven't experienced what you have described...keep us posted.

yea. I was freaked out. I called mini and I was going to take it in tomorrow but a hurricane is coming so I do not want to have to drive in a hurricane. I will have to take her in next week.
