2016 BMW X1 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The sunshade on the panoramic sunroof detached entirely along the passenger side of the car. It hangs down and impairs the driver's vision on the passenger side, preventing the driver from seeing oncoming traffic. Additionally the sunshade cannot be retracted for fear that it will hang down further impairing the driver's view in the rear view mirror. I am not driving my car unless absolutely necessary until this can be repaired. I contacted BMW and took the car to the local BMW dealership for inspection and a repair estimate. The inspection video can be found at www.mkvwa37.com/p/1574bg.html BMW refused to address this defect stating that the vehicle is outside its warranty period. This site has 16 complaints for the same defect with the same year and model of BMW.
The sunscreen on the panoramic sunroof is sagging because the motor has broken and it is lost tension leaving the sunscreen sagging overhead blocking driver Visibility
The roof sunshade adhesive loose which makes the sunshade loose from the roof, makes the sunshade inoperable and blocking the rear view sight.
The sliding sun visor on the panoramic sunroof has become detached from its frame on the passenger side. The sliding visor material now droops into cabin with possible obstruction of visibility to outside areas.
The panoramic sunroof headliner on this model is made of cloth. The cloth came off of the track during normal operation, causing the cloth headliner to sag and a significant decrease in visibility.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 bmw x1. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the retractable sunroof head liner detached from the sliding track causing the head liner fabric to crumble and block the rear view mirror. The vehicle was taken to ferman bmw (31400 us highway 19 north, palm harbor, fl 34684, (727) 400-3542) to be inspected. The contact was informed that the head liner needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 36,000.
While driving on a highway during a cross country road trip, the sunroof sun shade/blind came out of its track on the drivers side. A visit to a bmw dealer noted an out of warranty repair cost of $2600. The dealer said the entire panoramic sunroof assembly would have to be removed to replace the sun shade/blind. The sun shade has now become inoperable and is stuck in the open position. This has created an unacceptable exposure to the sun in the vehicle. The outside temperatures were over 110 degrees. It appears that a metal coil spring like material has become detached from the shade/blind fabric. The adhesive bonding the materials has failed. The spring material is tangled under the headliner at the rear of the vehicle.
The sun shade that covers the moonroof from the interior came apart on the passenger side, causing it to hang into the cabin. This occurred by itself without operating the vehicle or sun shade. The vehicle had been stationary for several days, parked outside in an uncovered private parking space. Bmw is claiming this is not covered by warranty, despite several other owners having the same exact issue. It's clear this is a manufacturing defect. Repair cost is $2,500.
I departed my house and got onto the west park toll way. After driving for a few miles, I heard like an explosion. Under panic, I realized that the sunroof had shattered. I was traveling at about 65mph and no one was ahead of me or adjacent to me. There was a pickup truck behind me about safe following distance.
