2013 BMW 328I Structurebody Problems

Passenger door lock failed and does not allow the door to be opened in an emergency. The door is designed to be unlocked by the first pull of the door handle then unlatched with the second pull of the handle, however after the first handle pull the lock immediately locks again preventing the second pull from unlatching the door. The system would be available for inspection. This problem has been reproduced and confirmed by manufacturer's dealer, but has not been inspected The electric door lock actuator had failed about a year ago, but still allowed the door lock to be used manually without any disruption to being able to open the door.

INTERMITTENT ISSUE WHERE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WON'T UNLOCK FROM THE INTERIOR USING THE DOOR HANDLE. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL IT'S UNLOCKED. DOOR CAN BE UNLOCKED USING THE ELECTRIC CENTRAL LOCKING, AND THEN OPENED USING THE HANDLE.

FRONT/DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN I PULL THE HANDLE

CAR INVOLVED IN REAR END COLLISION AND CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED UP. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR WAS IN SLOW MOTION APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WHEN HIT IN REAR . ROAD CONDITIONS SUNNY AND DRY. MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO CAR IN FRONT CAUSING MORE DAMAGE. ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN ILLINOIS 159 IN GLEN CARBON,ILL.

WHEN IN PARK OR WITH ENGINE "OFF" THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS FAIL TO OPEN WHEN INTERNAL HANDLE IS PULLED. THE PIN RISES WHEN HANDLED IS PULLED AND RETRACTS BACK WHEN HANDLE IS RELEASED FAILING TO "UNLOCK" THE DOOR. VEHICLE CANNOT BE EXITED IN A CASE WHEN FAST EGGRES IS NEEDED OR WHEN THERE IS NO POWER TO USE THE POWER LOCK/UNLOCK. CAN BE DEADLY IN A CAR FIRE OR SIMILAR GRAVE CONDITION.

DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING- DR/SIDE, WHEN EXITING INNER DOOR HANDLE LOSES SPRING TENSION BECOMES LOOSE, AFTER EXITING DOOR WON'T CLOSE OR SOMETIMES WHEN INNER HANDLE BECOMES LOOSE INNER OR OUTER HANDLE WON'T OPEN DR/SIDE DOOR FORCING YOU TOEXIT ON THE PASSANGER SIDE WHILE VEHICLE IS STANDING

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOORS, PULLING ON THE HANDLE TWICE WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN THE DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IS BY PRESSING THE ELECTRICAL UNLOCK BUTTON. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, THE DATE BELOW IS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY OCCURRENCES. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT 4 TIMES. NONE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF WE NEEDED TO EXIT THE CAR AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS DISABLED, WE WOULD BE UNABLE TO. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING BUT THE FORM WON'T LET ME UPLOAD THEM.

LIGHT CRACKS, CHIPS, DEFECTS INSIDE OF HEADLIGHT HOUSING. VEHICLES ARE NOT THAT OLD AND THE DEFECT TENDS TO APPEAR ON ALL F30 BMW 3 SERIES MODELS. COULD WORSEN OVER TIME AND CREATE VISIBILITY ISSUES.
