Bmw soft close doors came open I was driving on the freeway yesterday 3/19/2018 and the passenger door on my vehicle came ajar. My vehicle is equipped with comfort access as well as soft close doors and this is a very dangerous situation as there were passengers in the car. I am uncertain as to why the door did this, I was traveling around ~60 MPH, there was a ~20 MPH headwind, however this is extremely unnerving.

At 48,500 miles I had a passenger door not closed light come on. I have the optional soft closed doors. I made an appointment but was not able to get in right away due to scheduling issues as the nearest dealer is 60+ miles away. By the time I got the car to the dealer it had 50,015 miles. I was told by the dealer that bmw was very strict about the mileage warranty and would not fix it despite the fact I called to make the appointment the week prior "while still below 50,000 miles". I was told I should have flat-bedded it in and I would have stayed below 50000 miles and it would have been covered. This seemed a ridiclous to me. The estimated cost with diagnosis was $1,100 aprox. For what appeared to be a door latch sensor malfunction. At 52, 500 miles the driver door is now having the same problem and is at the dealership. I know bmw has had other issues with their soft close doors and want to add my issues. My vehicle is a 2014 x5 35i xdrive. Order of events, 5-17 48,500 aprx. First issue with passenger door (intermittent then continous) scheduled appt 6-6-17 vehicle had 50015 miles. 8-17 driver side door light (intermittent at first then continuous) in dealer 9 -10-17 for repair. I did contact bmw about issue and they are looking into offering me "goodwill" service!!

The first time the front passenger door opened on it's own to the safety catch while merging onto a freeway. The result was a dashboard alarm stating a door was open. This vehicle is equipped with soft close doors option. The second time the left-read door opened to the safety catch while traveling approximately 20mph in a residential neighborhood. In both instances, the vehicle was only occupied by the driver. The vehicle was at a dealer who replaced several components within the doors.

Doors opened (on multiple occasions) by themselves, while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicle has soft close automatic doors; yet driver's door as well as rear passenger doors opened while driving. The dealer - bmw north scottsdale- claimed to have repaired it (based on bmw service bulletin), yet it occurred again within a few days. Eventually bmw north america bought the vehicle back, but did not respond to my letter regarding the defect.
