NHTSA complaint #11062978, filed 2018-01, 33,000 miles

“Vehicle seatbelts do not cross over chest for me. There is not a seatbelt adjuster like most vehicles have so the seat belt cuts across my neck and locks up on my neck when hitting the brakes. I spoke with Bmw consumer and they recommend purchasing a cushion but that still does not resolve the issue. Its like the seat belt is choking or strangling me when braking. Also my keyless entry does not work from a distance like most vehicles. I have to be on the car pressing and pressing. I had the battery replaced like Bmw recommended and it still does not work. …”
