“There have been many occasions when the doors on my 2002 Bmw 745 have frozen closed after driving to a destination. This could have resulted in a serious problem had we been in an accident and not been able to exit the car. Myself and my passengers could have been trapped in the car. I have also had occasion when the door would not latch after driving to a destination. I have made numerous complaints to the dealer and have been told there is no solution to this problem other than spraying the door latch with silicone. …”
