Time to change dealership.
Is it this dealer doing the replacements ? I would questiuon their ability to perform their job and especially if they are claiming they are "badly designed".
Even common sense tells you thatr's BS or the world would have borken down Mini's littering the roadsides !!!
A good dealer woudl also be discussing with your brother how he is driving it.
