This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving on the highway, without warning, there was an explosion from the roof of the car which startled me and almost caused me to lose control of the vehicle. I pulled over and found that the panoramic sunroof had exploded. Luckily, we had the sunroof shade closed underneath it, so the glass did not rain down on us. However, cars and a motorcycle behind us swerved to avoid the glass flying off of the car and almost crashed into each other. I drove directly to the BMW dealership in Smithtown, NY and they are evaluating the event. They said that a special team from BMW may come to look at the car. They have not yet agreed to cover the repair even though the car is still under warranty.
My rear trunk door opens on its own when I'm away from the car and it is locked. My coworkers have witnessed it while on break in the parking lot. I've taken it to the dealership to address and it has not happened as often, but it continues to happen, just not as frequently.
While driving home, we heard a loud noise (explosion) and after pulling off the road, we found the sun roof had a large hole. We were very confused as to why it happened, as the BMW X3 is only 9 months old.
