2014 BMW X1 Sav

The complaint picture for the 2014 BMW X1 is dominated by airbag-related reports, which account for the large majority of what owners filed. Within that category, owners describe the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, the system that determines whether the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult or a child, registering incorrectly or malfunctioning, which can affect whether the passenger airbag deploys in a crash. A smaller cluster of electrical system reports describes issues including apparent electrical fires originating near door hardware, with owners noting smoke appearing within seconds of starting the vehicle. Seat belt complaints are limited to a couple of reports. A few isolated reports mention door latches failing to engage properly and a panoramic sunroof shattering while driving, though those appear in only one or two submissions each and don't represent a broader pattern in this complaint set.
