Consumer Description

DOORS ARE GETTING LOCKDOWN SPORADICALLY EVEN AFTER YOUR CAR IS AT COMPLETE STOP AND PARKED, UNLESS YOU PRESS THE CENTRAL UNLOCK SWITCH IN THE PANEL YOU ARE LOCKED DOWN IN THE CAR, IT TOOK 15MINS FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND COME OUT. IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW. THERE ARE 1000S OF PEOPLE POSTED ONLINE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I AM SURPRISED THERE IS NO RECALL FROM BMW ON THIS.
