Without any input from me \u2014 and without pressing the key fob, tailgate button, or any switch \u2014 the rear tailgate will open on its own. This has occurred multiple times while the vehicle was parked, locked, and unattended, and it has also happened shortly after driving and parking.  I brought the vehicle to an authorized BMW dealership for diagnosis under warranty. The dealership inspected the vehicle but was unable to identify the cause and returned the vehicle without repairing the problem. Despite my request for further escalation (such as opening a technical case with BMW\u2019s engineering team), the issue remains unresolved.  This defect poses a significant safety risk. An uncommanded tailgate opening could result in the vehicle\u2019s contents falling out, create a road hazard, or lead to injury to people nearby. It also increases the risk of theft or water intrusion into the cargo area.  The problem is intermittent and unpredictable, but it continues to happen. I am submitting this report because the issue remains unresolved by the manufacturer and could endanger both occupants and the public.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X3","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
