Consumer Description

UPON STARTING THE CAR THERE WAS A RAPID SOUND OF THE DOOR LOCKS, LOCKING AND OPENING SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN STOPPED. THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. CHECKED ALL THE FUSES BUT NONE WERE BLOWN. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH DID REPLACE THE #57 FUSE WITH A 20 AMP VS 15 AS SUGGESTED BUT STILL NOT WORKING. IF YOU MESS WITH IT LONG ENOUGH IT WILL UNLOCK BUT THE OTHER DOORS WILL BE LOCKED. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THIS HAPPENED , MYSELF OR THE OTHER OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT HARM TO US. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND BMW SHOULD TAKE SOME ACTION TO CORRECT THIS, AN OVERRIDE FIX OR OTHER SAFETY MEASURE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY VIEW! *TR
