• The owner of a 2020 BMW X4 reported the hatchback opened while driving.

• The owner of a 2021 BMW X5 reported their lower tailgate caused them to dump a load of groceries on a busy highway.

• The owner of a 2017 BMW X5 reported their rear tailgate suddenly flew open while driving at a speed of 25 mph.

• The owner of a 2022 BMW X3 reported their rear hatch opened while they were driving on the highway and resulted in boxes falling out.
