Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Car was stationary the car doors get stuck in locked state and will not unlock from inside. This happens when vehicle is parked after a drive or when you start up the vehicle and it is in parked position. This is a safety issue as the driver or passenger can get locked inside the car. This happens due to failed lock actuator and possible mechanical failure in the door lock mechanism. This issue is extremely widespread yet there is no recall from Bmw on this issue. I've experienced this issue 3 additional times since I purchased this vehicle in april of 2018.”
