Example complaints

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

“The door lock actuator for the front driver door failed twice. The first time it failed, the car would not unlock from the outside. All other doors would unlock. I had my kids in the back of the car and I was trying to get inside the car to drive and it wouldn't open. I had to pry off the cap covering the keyhole on the door with a screwdriver and then insert the blade key and manually turn the actuator. I got this failed unlocking on video and submitted it to BMW. They claimed they could not replicate and that there was no issue with the door and gave me the car back without fixing anything. …”
