| 2006 | STEERING | STEERING WHEEL LOCK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN RED ON DASH. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 325I SERIES. BMW HAS DISCONTINUED THIS TYPE OF STEERING WHEEL COLUMN WHEN BUILDING THEIR 2007 VEHICLES BECAUSE ITS AN ISSUE. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED AND WHY HASNT ANYONE TAKEN ACTION ON THE INCIDENT? *TR |
| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ON HOT DAYS UNLOCKING MY CAR DOORS. MY KEY BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR. THE REAL PROBLEM IS WHEN I'M INSIDE THE CAR, THE UNLOCK BUTTON DOES NOT WORK, EVEN WHEN I MANUALLY PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLES FROM INSIDE THE CAR, THE DOORS CONTINUES TO BE LOCKED. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL THE PASSENGERS BECAUSE THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN. ONCE THE CAR IS COOLER, THEY START TO WORK AGAIN. I'M AFRAID THAT IF I EVER GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT, NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THERE IS NO BMW RECALL FOR FAILED LOCKS. PLEASE HELP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
