Consumer Description

TWICE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE DRIVER'S CAR DOOR FLEW OPEN. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THE DOOR WAS NOT LATCHED, NOR DID ANY ALARMS SOUND. THIS OCCURRED AS I WAS TURNING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN TOWN, AND ACCELERATING TO 50 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MY BMW DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY ACTUATOR THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, INCURRING A COST TO ME OF $622.00. I AM APPALLED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED AS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SO FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE REPORTED....
