Consumer Description
DOOR LOCKS FAILED, WITH DOORS IN THE LOCKED POSITION. NO WAY TO OPEN THE 3 PASSENGER DOORS. DRIVER CAN ESCAPE BY DOUBLE PULLING THE HANDLE, BUT ONLY IF THERE'S A PERSON (WEIGHT SENSOR?) ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT. PASSENGERS CANNOT GET OUT! READING THE ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH E90 BMWS (AND A SIMILAR ONE WITH THE PREVIOUS GENERATION E46). THERE ARE HUNDREDS (THOUSANDS?) OF POSTS DESCRIBING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
