Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car was parked in front of my home and the next morning after a heavy rainstorm, both the front driver and front passenger foot well were filled with water. This is a big issue since the carpet is wet and a ripe breading ground for mould. This issue is concerning since I would expect a Bmw vehicle to have no opportunity for leaking water from the outside.”

NHTSA complaint #10984858, filed 2017-05, 18,000 miles“As I was driving on the highway at 70 MPH, my locked passenger side door came unlatched. I heard the wind from the outside and the alert came on, that's how I knew it came open. I had already been driving for an hour, so I know it had been closed. Three days later, my locked rear passenger door did the same thing. I had been driving for ten minutes that time and I was going 30 MPH. Both times, the door lock remained in the down position. This greatly concerns me as a safety issue. Updated 09/14/15 updated 10/26/2017”
