| 2006 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | DOOR LOCKS ON 2006 BMW 330XI SUDDENLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY MIDWAY THROUGH THE DAY AND WERE UNABLE TO BE UNLOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE EMBEDDED PHYSICAL KEY IN THE FOB BUT WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR AND TRIED OPERATING THE DOORS THEY AGAIN LOCKED BUT WERE UNABLE TO BE UNLOCKED NEITHER BY THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE CONSOLE, THE FOB OR THE DOOR HANDLE. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR WAS TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, AND USE THE EMERGENCY MECHANICAL KEY TO UNLOCK IT BY EXTENDING MY HAND OUT THE WINDOW. SINCE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR WITH A PHYSICAL KEYLOCK, IT WAS THE ONLY DOOR THAT WAS ABLE TO OPEN. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY, ALL 3 PASSENGERS HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THEIR WINDOWS TO EXIT. *TR |
| 2002 | POWER TRAIN | BMW 325 CI: I HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 325CI BMW, I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER, THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 1 YEAR OLD AND I HAVE TAKEN TO SERVICE FOUR TIMES ALREADY. MY CAR IS A 2002 AND AT THIS MOMENT IT HAS 10,660 MILES. THE CAR HAS A MAJOR COMPUTER PROBLEM. MY ABS SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AS WELL AS MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPROGRAMED AND PIECES ARE COMING OFF IN THE INSIDE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO SERVICE THE PAST THREE WEEKS FOR THE THE COMPUTER AND THE BODY. LUCKY BMW DOES HAVE GREAT SERVICE AND I HAVENT HAD TO PAY FOR A SINGLE REPAIR. BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FILE A LEMON LAW ON THE CAR BECAUSE I KNOW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR WILL NEVER STOP. |
