problem #3

Mar 212022

X1

  • 16,000 miles
The contact owns a 2018 BMW X1. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the rear liftgate door would erroneously open. During the failure, the lift gate door would open approximately halfway. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the key fob needed to be reprogrammed to press twice to open the liftgate. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 16,000.

Sun visors are too short / small and don't help on a sunny day. May as well not have them at all especially if you don't have an auto-tinted windshield. We find this to be a seriously dangerous situation. Also, car hesitates when accelerating at times and engine also sounds rough after driving a few minutes.
