it home reported on september 15 that the automotive media carscoops reported yesterday (september 14) that bmw is facing a proposed class action lawsuit in the united states.the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (dct) of its 2023 bmw x1 xdrive28i suv has been accused of being jerky and taking up to seven seconds to engage a gear.

a virginia couple filed a class-action lawsuit, alleging that the model's seven-speed dual-clutch transmission sometimes took up to seven seconds to respond to driver input.

the lawsuit claims that this can cause the x1 to jerk when driving at low speeds or exiting intersections, and the plaintiffs believe that what's more serious is that the suv becomes dangerous because it causes the driver to lose control and sometimes rolls on its own, possibly in the opposite direction of the driver's intended direction.

it home note: the 2023 bmw x1 suv increases the output of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine by 13 horsepower and replaces the eight-speed traditional automatic transmission of the old model with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (dct).

while the old car's automatic transmission smoothly connected the engine to the gearbox via a torque converter, the dct uses a wet clutch pack, promising greater efficiency.

the lawsuit states that the rolling problem may be caused by a malfunction of the clutch actuator, defects in the clutch assembly, and problems in the system connecting the engine, transmission and brake software. the plaintiff believes that bmw should compensate the car owner and bear the cost of repairing the "defective" suv.
