Example complaints

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

“The front passenger side door is unable to open from inside or outside the vehicle. The door actuator failed, and this has been confirmed by the dealer. This is an obvious safety issue as it prevents egress in an emergency. According to Internet forums, this seems to be a known issue across BMW platforms.”
