CPSC#I1280311A. 2012 BMW X6. CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUDIBLE OR VISUAL WARNINGS THAT ANY OF THE DOORS OR HATCH BACK IS OPEN PRIOR TO DRIVING. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE, WHEN HIS KEY ACCIDENTALLY OPENED THE HATCHBACK. THE KEY DESIGN WAS VERY POOR, BECAUSE AT ANY TIME, THE DOORS COULD OPEN BY THEMSELVES. AS HE DROVE OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE UNAWARE THE HATCHBACK WAS OPEN, HE DROVE OVER A SPEED BUMP WHICH RAISED THE HATCHBACK ENOUGH TO IMPACT AN OVERHEAD CONCRETE COLUMN WHICH CAUSED OVER $1800 IN DAMAGE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE CONSUMER HAD TO REACH 5 MPH BEFORE A WARNING SIGNALED. *JB

TIRES
I OWN A BMWX6 2009 AND UNDER 30,000 MILES I HAVE TO CHANGE TIRES UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE OWNER MANUAL INDICATED THAT TIRES NEEDS REPLACEMENT AFTER 6 YEARS THE MOST. THE TIRES THREADS UNDER 30,000 ARE UNDER SPEC. AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THEM BY BMW SERVICE CENTER. I REPLACE THEM AND I FOUND OUT THAT MICHELIN IS NOT GIVEN A WARRANTY FOR TIRES INSTALLED ON BMWX6 2009 EVEN THAT ON THE OWNER MANUAL IS A STATEMENT THAT THE TIRES ARE WARRANTED BY THEIR MANUFACTURER. WHY A BRAND NEW CAR IS SOLD WITH TIRES WHICH ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY? NOT TAKING A CHANCE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT I REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AT MY COST OF OVER $1700 AND BMW IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE TIRES ARE WEARING OUT TOO SOON AND TO INFORM ALL THE OWNERS OF A POTENTIAL DANGER DRIVING THE CAR WITH TIRES WHICH ARE NOT EVEN WARRANTED BY THEIR MANUFACTURER. *TR
