Consumer Description

THE DOORS TO THE VEHICLE LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY AND COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND USE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION FOB TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. ALL OTHER DOORS REMAINED LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR WITH NO WAY TO EXIT BESIDES CRAWLING THROUGH A WINDOW. I BELIEVE BMW SHOULD ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT. *JS
