“The doors will not unlock. The lights flash on the outside but even when pushing the unlock button from the inside of the car the doors stay locked. Wife had to exit my car was by crawling out of the window. Able to use the key for manual unlock of driver door only; gas tank door remains locked so I cannot put gas in my car and, therefore, cannot drive my car.”

“The doors will not unlock. The lights flash on the outside but even when pushing the unlock button from the inside of the car the doors stay locked.

“We have two remotes for key-less entry into our 2008 Bmw 335I convertible. The car has a proximity sensor and can automatically unlock the door when I put my hand on the door handle, without requiring me to press any key on the remote.

As soon as I took a turn, the door swung open freely. …”
