2008 BMW 328I Structurebody Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BMW 328I. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, NONE OF THE DOORS (EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR) WOULD UNLOCK OR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS SHEARING OFF. COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A SAFETY RECALL.

ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO UNLOCK THUS TRAPPING MYSELF IN THE CAR. NO MECHANICAL OVERRIDE EXISTS TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS. I HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND CLIMB OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW. THE 4 DOOR SEDAN HAS SMALL WINDOWS AND I HURT MYSELF (PULLED MUSCLES AND JOINTS) CLIMBING OUT. IF THE WINDOWS FAILED (THEY DID NOT), I WOULD HAVE HAD TO BREAK THE WINDOWS AND THEN CLIMB OUT. ELDERLY OR HANDICAPPED OCCUPANTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT! ANY POWER FAILURE WILL TRAP OCCUPANTS SINCE NO MECHANICAL OVERRIDE EXISTS!

DRIVERS DOOR LOCKED AS NORMAL WHEN CAR REACHED A CERTAIN SPEED BUT MADE A WEIRD NOISE. NOW IT WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH KEYLESS OR UNLOCK BUTTON ON DASH OF CAR. WILL ONLY UNLOCK MANUALLY. DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR??? I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS... I HOPE THEY ARE COVERED WITH A RECALL SOON! *JB
