There is a non compliant recall remedy unavailable for a trim piece inside the car between front and rear doors and in an event of a crash can pose serious risk of injury to rear seat passengers. I have my grandson in my car almost every day and my son. This is not acceptable. I want to give this car back immediately with no hassle or repercussions. I am looking for a other car effective immediately! I need your help to make sure this does not come back to haunt us! this is very dangerous! what can be done to make sure this happens right away? because I am afraid now to drive this car and it's not my fault. When I talked to BMW they said they do not have a remedy and they are not allowed to trade for or sell this car.

BMW of North America, llc (BMW) is recalling certain 2016-2019 X1 sdrive28I and X1 xdrive28I vehicles. In the event of a crash where the occupants head contacts the B-pillar, the pillar may not absorb an adequate amount of the impact. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "occupant protection in interior impact." I have contacted my dealer and they say the "fix" is not available. Supposedly owners were notified on July 1, 2019 but I have seen no notice as July 26, 2019. Remedy

Purchased new car late December 2018. Quickly realized my partmner does not fit safely in passenger seat. Was told by BMW that I can sell or do lease takeover. A couple months later I had a safety restraint malfunction. (preventing me from selling the car) a month after that I had two recalls & squeaky breaks. One recall was closed and the other remained open. 4 months into purchasing a new car I'm being forced to keep a car that is unsafe for my family. I cant sell or trade in because of recalls. BMW will not take my car back and I cant sell it. I'm stuck waiting for them to figure out how to take care of their open recall. BMW has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair and I'm forced to drive a new car that that I have only had 7 months when 4 months into my lease the car is already experiencing trouble. I cant sell the car because of the recall and not only is this a safety issue but its financially burdening my family as we cant use this as our family car as it is unsafe to drive.

Tailgate locking system has electronic kick. There is no electronic chirp to alert closing. I was struck in the head. The top latch is was reversed to 'male' equivalent to a hammer. The bottom latch was reversed as connector. If anyone over 5' 10" walks under the open hatch they can be struck.
