2017 BMW X1 Complaints

THE TRUNK STARTS CLOSING BY ITSELF, 100S OF EXAMPLES ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS HAPPENING.

THE TAILGATE AUTOMATICALLY STARTS CLOSING ON ME WHEN I AM LOADING OR UNLOADING. IT STARTS BEEPING SO I AT LEAST GET A WARNING BUT I HAVE TO PUT MY HAND UP AND STOP IT FROM CRASHING ON MY HEAD. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS SINCE THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOTE MY FEET ARE NOT GOING UNDER THE BUMPER (AND THAT FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ON THIS CAR EVER ANYWAY). THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF. HOWEVER ONE TIME THE TRUNK OPENED ON ME WHEN I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO GO SHUT IT. NOT CONVENIENT.

THE REAR TRUNK OF THE CAR STARTS CLOSING BY ITSELF. I INJURED MY HAND DUE TO SUCH SUDDEN CLOSURE. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HITTING IT AND BMW IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING OR FIXING THE ISSUE.

THE REAR HATCH OF THE BMW WILL SPONTANEOUSLY CLOSE WITHOUT WARNING - CAUSING THE DOOR TO SLAM INTO ONES HEAD. THERE IS NO WAY OF DEACTIVATING THE FOOT SENSOR TO BLOCK THE HATCH FROM INADVERTENTLY CLOSING WHILE A PERSON IS IN THE VICINITY OF THE HATCH DOOR. -BMW IS STATIONARY WITH KEY FOB IN POCKET - LOADING ITEMS INTO REAR CARGO AREA - WITHOUT WARNING THE HATCH QUICKLY STARTS CLOSING HITTING A PERSON IN THE HEAD WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE

2017 BMW X1 REAR HATCH DOOR SHUTS PREMATURELY WITHOUT REASON WHICH ONE HAS TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID INJURY. IN MY CASE, IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME AND, NO, MY FEET ARE NOT UNDER THE KICK SENSOR UNDER REAR BUMPER. BMW FORUM SAYS IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

THE TAILGATE CONSISTENTLY CLOSES ON ITS OWN. WITHOUT MY FOOT EVEN BEING NEAR THE SENSOR THAT IS LOCATED UNDER THE BACKEND. T HAS SLAMMED ME IN A BACK A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE HAD MY HEADPHONES IN AND DID NOT HEAR THE BEEPING. I WON'T EVEN LET MY KNEES GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. THE DEALERSHIP IN FL HAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED IT BUT CONTINUES TO DO IT. IT DID IT ON THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL. I MOVED IN AND CONTINUE TO DO IT TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. WHEN IT HIT YOU IN THE BACK IT HURTS REALLY BAD.

I HAVE 3 OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY BMW STARTING SINCE 2016. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO AN AUTHORIZED BMW DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES SINCE THEN TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED, AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE AVOIDED COMPLETING THE RECALL. I'D LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST STEVENS CREEK BMW FOR THEIR REFUSAL TO FIX MY MANDATORY RECALLS.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL (RECALL # 19V349). HOWEVER NO SOLUTION IS IN PLACE AND I'M AT RISK DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH REAR SEAT PASSENGERS (INCLUDING KIDS). THE RECALL CAME IN APRIL AND IT'S OCTOBER - WITH 6 MONTHS, NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND NOTHING IS DONE FROM BMW.
