VEHICLE IGNITION TURNED OVER AND BEFORE 30 SECONDS I NOTICED SMOKE IN MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE. THE VALET LIGHTING WAS NOT INVOLVED BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS THE TOUCH SENSOR USED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT AND I WAS ABLE TO SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A WET TOWEL AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE IGNITION ETC. MELTED PLASTIC AND RUBBER WAS NOTED.

BMW X1 2014 HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH PASSENGER REAR DOOR LATCH/LOCK, DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH, TRUNK WILL NOT LATCH AND NOW PASSENGER DOOR LATCH, DOOR WONT CLOSE. DRIVER NEEDED TO HOLD DOORS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. *AS *TR

I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET WHERE I WANTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON TO ANOTHER CITY STREET. SINCE THE LIGHT WAS RED I APPLIED MY BRAKES SLOWLY AND TRIED TO COAST TO A GENTLE STOP BEHIND OF A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. AS I SLOWED DOWN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, MY BREAK PEDDLE LOST ALL PRESSURE AND THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL AND REAR ENDED THE TRUCK INFRONT OF ME. LUCKILY I HAD ALREADY SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY BEFORE THE BRAKES ON MY CAR COMPLETLY FAILED. AFTER I REAR ENDED THE TRUCK I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK, THEN INTO REVERSE TO BACK AWAY FROM THE TRUCK. AT THAT POINT MY BREAKS SEAM TO RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTION. FORTUNATELY PRIOR TO COLLISION I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I LIGHTLY BUMPED THE TRUCK'S BUMPER AND DID NOT PUSH THE TRUCK INTO THE CAR THAT WAS INFRONT OF HIM. HIS TRUCK WAS UNDAMAGED BECAUSE I HIT HIS TOW HITCH,BUT MY LICENSE PLATE AND FRONT BUMPER WERE SLIGHTLY DENTED. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR MY BRAKE PEDDLE SEEMED VERY SENSITIVE, BUT I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE PEDDLE HAS SOFTENED UP. AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AFTER THE INCIDENT I HAD MY SON DRIVE ME HOME. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH HE FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL (NHTSA #14V627000 & #13V454000) FOR MY CAR (AS WELL AS HIS 2014 BMW 328I) THAT INCLUDES OUR MAKE, MODELS AND YEARS THAT IS CONSISTANT WITH EXACTLY WHAT HAD OCCURRED. BUT WHEN WE INPUT OUR VIN NUMBERS, OUR CARS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. WE HAVE CHECKED THE BMW SITE AS WELL AS THE NHTSA SITES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. WE HAVE SCHEDUALED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CARS BREAKS INSPECTED AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS MAY NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE OUR VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE INCLUDED THE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BMW X1. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A SECOND VEHICLE. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V627000 (SERVICE BRAKES), EVEN THOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

FAULTY ENGINE - UNDRIVABLE CONDITIONS. NO PREVIOUS FAULTY CODES UNTIL SUDDEN ISSUE AND NOW NON DRIVABLE

DRIVING FROM A PARKING SLOT AT CARL'S JR., MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH A LOUD ENGINE ROAR, TO APPROXIMATELY 80-90 MPH, JUMPED OVER A CURB OVER AN ISLAND, RUN THROUGH THREE PARKING SLOTS, HIT ANOTHER CURB AND HIT A PALM TREE-WHICH FINALLY STOPPED MY CAR- AT A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 50-60 FEET FROM MY PARKED POSITION. I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKES FOR THE WHOLE 5-6 SECONDS UNTIL MY CAR HIT THE PALM TREE. THE BRAKE JUST DID NOT WORK. MISTAKENLY STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, IS OUT OF THE QUESTION--WITH ALL THE JARRING AND SWAYING--ANY IDIOT WILL STEP ON THE BRAKE, WHICH I DID. MY WIFE IS HOSPITALIZED WITH A FRACTURED SPINE AND I SUFFER RECURRENT HEADACHES. BMW AND ALLSTATE PROMISED TO INVESTIGATE BUT NO EARLIER THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT! *TR

I SMELL GASOLINE VERY BAD TOOK CAR TO BMW LAS VEGAS DEALER THEY FOUND FUEL LEAK ON MY 2014 BMW X1 BUT THEY DECLINE TO REPAIR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON PAPER MILL ROAD IN NEWARK, DELAWARE AND HEARD A "KERTHUNK" FROM THE ENGINE. HE PULLED OVER TO THE HARD SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, SAW HE HAD NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING, AND THEN SAW OIL GUSHING ONTO THE ROAD FROM THE MOTOR. A FEW MINUTES LATER, AS HE WAS SITTING IN THE STATIONARY CAR, HE SAW THE HOOD OF THE CAR STARTING TO BUBBLE. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE -- THAT PROCESS TOOK AROUND 15 MINUTES. THE DELAWARE STATE PATROL (OFFICER FERGUSON) ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE CAR HAD BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE BMW DEALER FOR A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT 9 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE. BMW USA ISSUED A NOTICE IN JULY 2017 ABOUT ISSUES WITH A THERMOSTAT IN THE X1. THE THERMOSTAT WAS THE ONLY PART REPLACED BY THE DEALER DURING SERVICE (NB: THERE HAD ALSO BEEN A NORMAL OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE AT THE END OF AUGUST BY THE SAME DEALER.)

VEHICLE SEATBELTS DO NOT CROSS OVER CHEST FOR ME. THERE IS NOT A SEATBELT ADJUSTER LIKE MOST VEHICLES HAVE SO THE SEAT BELT CUTS ACROSS MY NECK AND LOCKS UP ON MY NECK WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES. I SPOKE WITH BMW CONSUMER AND THEY RECOMMEND PURCHASING A CUSHION BUT THAT STILL DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ITS LIKE THE SEAT BELT IS CHOKING OR STRANGLING ME WHEN BRAKING. ALSO MY KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK FROM A DISTANCE LIKE MOST VEHICLES. I HAVE TO BE ON THE CAR PRESSING AND PRESSING. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED LIKE BMW RECOMMENDED AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. HOWEVER ON THEIR NEW MODEL VEHICLE THE NEW KEYLESS ENTRIES WORK FROM A DISTANCE.

WINDOW REGULATOR WENT BAD AND STARTED HEARING SOUND JUST LIKE WINDOW CRACK.

I PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A NON-BMW DEALER AT 40,500 MILES IN DEC. 2016. THE VEHICLE MOVED LEFTWARD WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS CENTERED. THE DSC/ESC MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH ANOTHER ESC SYMBOL WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT PRESENTED IN THE CENTER IP MESSAGE AREA LIGHT. THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. THE LIGHT CAME ON (AND OFF) SEVERAL TIMES OVER 3000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A BMW SERVICE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT A STEERING SYSTEM FAULT HAD BEEN STORED, BUT ONLY ONCE SO THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT PERFORM AN ALIGNMENT. AFTER SERVICE WAS COMPLETED, I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT IT STILL PULLED LEFT AND THE DSC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE BMW SHOP WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AGAIN. THEY ENDED UP ALIGNING THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND REPLACED THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. AFTER ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED MILES THE DSC LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK ON AGAIN.
