LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOORS ON MY 2007 BMW 328I WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE PUSH BUTTON LOCK. I REMOVED THE MANUAL KEY AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY HOUSE, I REVIEWED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND CHECKED TO SEE IF THE SETTING WAS WRONG WITH THE KEY. PUSHING THE KEY, OPEN-CLOSE BUTTON THE DOORS LOCKED BUT WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD THE FORESIGHT TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN PRIOR TO CHECKING THE LOCK. IF I HAD NOT DONE SO, I WOULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED IN FLORIDA AND COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF LOCKED IN THE CAR WITHOUT A WAY OUT IN THE FLORIDA HEAT. ALSO, THE GAS DOOR WAS LOCKED SHUT AND I WAS UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE BMW DEALERSHIP (QUALITY IMPORTS- FT WALTON BEACH) AND TOOK THE CAR TO THEM FOR REPAIRS. IT TOOK TWO DAYS INSTEAD OF THE TWO HOURS THAT I WAS PROMISED. ALSO, I FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD A TECHNICAL REPAIR BULLETIN THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED REGARDING FAULTY LOCKS ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE. BESIDES THE SAFETY COMPLAINT I FEEL THAT I WAS CHARGES WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF (NO COST TO THE CONSUMER) SINCE THIS VEHICLEÑ—S PROBLEM WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TALKED WITH CORPORATE BMW AND WAS TOLD THAT ANY ISSUE COULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. (I FELT THAT I WAS BLOWN OFF). I WOULD LIKE FOR THE FAULTY DOOR ACTUATORS TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUE. WHEN ASKING THE DEALERSHIP WHAT THEY MEANT BY A TECHNICAL BULLETIN, THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS NO SAFETY PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED. I DISAGREE. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE I DRIVE COMPLETELY FAILED LEAVING THE SCREEN BLACK AT THIS TIME I HAD NO AUDIO,NO HANDS FREE TELEPHONE NO WAY TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS ON THE VEHICLE. WENT TO BMW DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN OVERTEMP CODE AND THAT BMW WAS AWARE THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS AND ENGINEERS WERE WORKING ON IT BUT AT THE TIME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THIS CAR ONLY HAS 12,300 MILES ON IT AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WERE 3 OTHER CARS THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL CARS HAD LOW MILEAGE. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT BMW IS AWARE OF BUT CHOOSES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD. *TR
