2016 BMW X1 Electrical System

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 BMW X1. The contact stated that it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 81,295, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 135,400.

Received an error message: Transmission. Use parking break to prevent rolling. Dealership said it was the internal gear shift. It didn’t recognize the vehicle was in park. It was an expensive repair because they had to remove the console to fix. Was told it was an issue with my model.

The rear defroster burst into flames. Melting the paneling and wiring

The contact owns a 2016 BMW X1. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, there was a “Secure vehicle against Rolling” message displayed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

THE HANDS-FREE MECHANISM/ACTUATOR FOR OPENING AND CLOSING THE TAILGATE (MAKING A KICKING MOTION WITH THE FOOT) ACTIVATES UNINTENTIONALLY WHEN LOADING AND UNLOADING ITEMS FROM THE REAR STORAGE AREA. ON FOUR (4) OCCASIONS WHILE LOADING OR UNLOADING FROM THE REAR STORAGE AREA, THE OPEN TAILGATE DOOR HAS CLOSED (WITHOUT BEING INTENTIONALLY ACTIVATED BY ME) AND COME DOWN ONTO MY HEAD. WHILE THERE IS A BRIEF WARNING SOUND, THE TAILGATE COMES DOWN VERY QUICKLY ON MY HEAD AND DOES NOT STOP WHEN IT MAKES CONTACT WITH MY HEAD. EVEN WHEN I AM JUST STANDING WITH MY FOOT NEAR OR UNDER THE REAR BUMPER THE TAILGATE CLOSES ON MY HEAD WITHOUT ME INITIATING THE DESIGNED TRIGGER MECHANISM (SIMULATED KICKING OF THE FOOT.). THERE ARE NO "USER SETTINGS" AVAILABLE TO DISABLE THIS AUTOMATIC OPERATION. WHILE I AM AN ADULT, A YOUNG CHILD COULD INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATE THE CLOSING OF THE TAILGATE AND THERE HEAD/NECK COULD BE CAUGHT.
