The tailgate consistently closes on its own. Without my foot even being near the sensor that is located under the backend. T has slammed me in a back a few times when I've had my headphones in and did not hear the beeping. I won't even let my knees get anything out of it. The dealership in fl has allegedly fixed it but continues to do it. It did it on the dealership as well. I moved in and continue to do it took it to a dealership here in pennsylvania and they say nothing is wrong. When it hit you in the back it hurts really bad.

Rear hatch opens and closes spontaneously if key fob is in your possession and you are in the vicinity of the rear hatch. Bmw service adviser said this is a design issue and there is no available fix. Vehicle is stationary when this occurs. I have experienced this at least six times in the last four months. Spontaneous closing is particularly dangerous if you are in the open hatch area and the hatch starts to come down on you...
