Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR LOCK WAS JAMMED INTO THE LOCKED POSITION AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITHOUT ACTUATING THE ELECTRIC DOOR UNLOCK SYSTEM. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THIS INSTANCE HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES TO OTHER BMW VEHICLES.
