Consumer Description

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH WHATSOEVER, AND AS SUCH, WOULD SWING FREELY TO FULL OPEN. CLOSING THE DOOR WOULD ONLY BOUNCE IT OFF THE CAR BODY AND WOULD NOT LATCH. I INSPECTED THE LATCH AND FOUND THE DOOR LATCH TO BE IN EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION AS THE OTHER PASSENGER DOORS AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSING FROM INSIDE, OUTSIDE OR WITH DOORS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAD NO RESISTANCE AT ALL OR ANY FEELING OF BEING CONNECTED TO THE DOOR LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE DEALER AND THE LATCH REPLACED AS WELL AS A CONNECTION WITH THE LATCH AND THE DOOR LOCK AND HANDLE. I WAS TOLD BY BMW THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. *TR
