Consumer Description

WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR, THE ELECTRICAL DASHBOARD HAS A DELAY. I TURN ON THE CAR, START TO DRIVE, THE DASHBOARD WILL DELAY IN TURNING ON (HAPPENS AT LEAST 1/MONTH IN THE LAST 1.5YEARS). WINTER 2015/16 DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK MANUALLY OR BY KEY FOB. IN FEAR OF THEFT, I DROVE HOME AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK. ADDITIONALLY, DASHBOARD NOTIFICATION SAID DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS AJAR WHILE DRIVING (TOOK PICTURES). LASTLY, TRUNK RELEASE IS CONSTANTLY JAMMED AND CAN'T BE OPENED MANUALLY, TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON, OR KEY FOB. FROM TIME TO TIME I WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE TRUNK AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE BEEN TO MY LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP IN SUMMER 2016 AND THE PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR. *TR
