Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR ON A BUMPY ROAD(NORTH RT 18, NJ), THEN SUDDENLY A FRONT PASSENGER DOOR POPPED OPEN DURING DRIVING. WHEN I MEAN BY POPPED OPEN, IT GOES FROM DOOR FULLY CLOSED & LOCKED TO PARTIALLY OPEN, AS IF THE DOOR WASN'T COMPLETELY SHUT. WHEN IT HAPPENED, THE "DOOR OPEN" SIGNAL CAME UP IMMEDIATELY AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME UP. I TOLD A LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THE DOOR ACTUATOR IS BAD, AND I SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF $500.00, WHICH SEEMED UNFAIR WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE A SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I HAD NOT HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. *TR
