DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT OPEN LEAVING ME LOCKED OUT OF THE CAR AND STRANDED. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 300 MILES TO GET IT BACK HOME WHERE A BMW REPAIR PLACE WAS AVAILABLE. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT DOOR ACTUATORS AT A COST OF $600.00 JUST TO GET BACK INSIDE MY CAR. IF A BABY WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR IT COULD OF DIED BY THE TIME IT WAS TO GET ANYONE TO HELP GET THE DOORS OPEN. THE MOST DANGEROUS DESIGN I'VE EVER HEARD OF. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WILL NOT WORK AND NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS INSIDE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UPON STARTING THE CAR THERE WAS A RAPID SOUND OF THE DOOR LOCKS, LOCKING AND OPENING SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN STOPPED. THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. CHECKED ALL THE FUSES BUT NONE WERE BLOWN. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH DID REPLACE THE #57 FUSE WITH A 20 AMP VS 15 AS SUGGESTED BUT STILL NOT WORKING. IF YOU MESS WITH IT LONG ENOUGH IT WILL UNLOCK BUT THE OTHER DOORS WILL BE LOCKED. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THIS HAPPENED , MYSELF OR THE OTHER OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT HARM TO US. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND BMW SHOULD TAKE SOME ACTION TO CORRECT THIS, AN OVERRIDE FIX OR OTHER SAFETY MEASURE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY VIEW! *TR

AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH REMAIN LIT AT ALL TIMES. ADDITIONALLY, THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED" INDICATOR REMAINS LIT AT ALL TIMES. THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR MAT ISSUE WHICH CAUSED THESE PROBLEMS, YET APPARENTLY NOT FOR MY VIN. THE DISABLED PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND CLEARLY MY VIN SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
HI, I THINK, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT BMW HAS TO FIX. MY AUTOMATIC CAR LOCK GETS STUCK AND I CAN ONLY OPEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN. THE MANUAL LEVER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND BACK DOOR DOESN'T OPEN THE DOOR. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE STUCK AND SOME HOW MANUALLY THEY CRAWLED OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND I WAS WONDERING IF MY SON WAS 20YRS OLD, HOW CAN HE COME THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM THE BACK SEAT. BMW IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT RECALLED THE CARS TO FIX THE MANUAL OVERRIDE WHEN THE AUTOMATIC DOOR OPENER DOESN'T WORK. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR FAILED (CODE 93C3), DISABLING POTENTIAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. APPARENTLY THIS PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE EXPAND THIS RECALL. BMW HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL, SO WE PAID NEARLY $1,200 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY OC3 MAT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I WAS DRIVING MY BMW 328I 2007 AND HAD PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. APPARENTLY ONE OF THE DOOR LOCK FUSES BLEW. I AM UNABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE PASSENGER DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB NOR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR MANUALLY BUT THAT IS IT. IN OTHER WORDS, THE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR COULD NOT MANUALLY OPEN THEIR DOORS AT ALL. THEY HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE! THANK GOD I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WASN'T A FIRE. I'M NOW BEING TOLD THAT BMW HAS TO "RUN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC" BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN ANY PASSENGER DOORS OF THE VEHICLE FOR ENTRANCE OR EXIT UNLESS I POTENTIALLY SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE. SERIOUSLY? DOES THIS SEEM SAFE TO THE AVERAGE PERSON? *TR

AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE MODEL (2007 BMW 328I) FOR CRACKS DEVELOPING IN THE "FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION MAT". THIS CAUSES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO BE DEACTIVATED DURING A CRASH (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000). I CALLED BMW AND THEY SAY THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED WHEN MY EXACT MODEL IS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR IS EXACTLY THE SAME. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR. PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE. I FEAR THE WORST BECAUSE NOW I AM MARRIED AND I HAVE A PASSENGER MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE. I REALLY CANNOT AFFORD $1000 RIGHT NOW TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY BMW. *TR
