Consumer Description

CAR IS A BMW 325I. MODEL YEAR 2001. THE ELECTRICAL DOOR UNLOCK MECHANISM DOES NOT ALWAYS UNLOCK THE DOORS. IN PARTICULAR, THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK ALL DOORS WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS NOW. I SUSPECT THAT IT IS RELATED TO A FAULTY GENERAL MODULE 5 UNIT IN THE CAR. ON RARE OCCASIONS UNLOCKING THE DOOR WILL NOT WORK WHEN PULLING THE DOOR LATCH WHEN THE ALL DOOR LOCK BUTTON IS NOT WORKING, LEADING TO DRIVER/PASSENGERS TRAPPED IN THE CAR. *TR
