Two problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2017 BMW X3. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 11/13/2020

The sunroof water drains back up and causes water to pool in the cargo area where electronic components are stored (wheel well like area) which causes an alarm to go off and hatchback malfunctions. My previous X3 had hatchback issues too. BMW states the frame that sun roof sits in is cracked but not caused by user behavior.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2019

The windshield of this vehicle seems to represent a safety risk. Last week, we replaced the windshield due to a small crack from small rock on the highway. The vehicle was picked up from the dealer on Monday afternoon. On Wednesday at about 11:00 am, the windshield cracked again. I had to take to the dealer again. I am wondering about the safety of this windshield, was there quality test performed ?.
