2015 BMW 328I Other or unknown Problems

“Rear spoiler malfunction appeared on my screen while I was driving roughly 30 miles per hour, then the rear spoiler began to smoke within 60 seconds. I pulled the car over to park it, and after another 100 seconds, the spoiler caught fire and within 180 more seconds the whole rear of the car was on fire. By this time the fire department showed up and extinguished the flames.”

“Sunroof exploded-2015 Bmw 328I sedan-on friday, 6/24/16 around 8:15am, while traveling in wash, dc's rush hour traffic at 35-45mph on route 295n, a loud blast, like a bomb, suddenly jolted my car! Fearfully, I continued to steer the car looking for a safe place to pull over, which was approximately 150 feet beyond a curve in the road. I pulled over, my daughter and I were ok but bewildered when we saw a large gaping hole in the center of my sunroof! I immediately thought that we had been shot or a large object had hit us.

“Gran turismo tailgate crashed upon my head without tail warning lights flashing or alarm. No foot kicking to activate the feature was invoked. While parked with the hatch open, I was simply placing groceries into my trunk. The problem is intermittent, and can not be repeated upon demand. I have been able to demo the problem several times since the first event. I also uncovered several other problems with the tailgate. The kicking feature to activate tailgate lifting and lowering doesn't work 100%. Vigorous kicking in different spots is needed to activate the hands free feature. …”

“There were multiple occasions (3 times last year and 2 this year) when driver side door latch failed to open the door. The immediate remedy is to unlock using the center console lock/unlock button.

I ended up having the car fixed by dealer at steven creek Bmw for $1200+ last week replacing cable/latch assembly. …”

“Driver's door and front passenger's door will not open with the interior door lever. This is an intermittent problem that can happen once a month or once a week. Lock knob on the door pops up and then back down when using the lever. The only way to unlock the door is to press the dash door lock button. This is extremely dangerous as all Bmw's have an automatic battery disconnect in the event of an accident; therefore there would be no way to exit the vehicle! I spoke to the local Bmw service agent and he said they knew of the problem but it was not covered by Bmw. …”
