What owners report
CAR WAS STATIONARY THE CAR DOORS GET STUCK IN LOCKED STATE AND WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM INSIDE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AFTER A DRIVE OR WHEN YOU START UP THE VEHICLE AND IT IS IN PARKED POSITION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER CAN GET LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS DUE TO FAILED LOCK ACTUATOR AND POSSIBLE MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD YET THERE IS NO RECALL FROM BMW ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2018.
DIVING DOWN A STREET THE FUEL PUMP SHORTED OUT CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE TO BURN UP . THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO LOSE COMPLETE POWER AND TURN OFF I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT AT THE TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. CAR HAD TO COAST ACROSS SEVERAL LANES TO A PARKING LOT THEN BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR JOLTED FORWARD THEN THE MOTOR TURNED OFF AND MIL CAME ON
ERRATIC AND INCREASINGLY INTERMITTENT FAILURE IN ITS REAR RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND REAR BRAKE LIGHT - IDENTICAL TO ISSUE FOR WHICH TWO PRIOR RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. BWM APPEARS NOT TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I SUBMITTED THE ATTACHED CORRESPONDENCE TO BMW WITH A REQUEST THAT THEY REIMBURSE THE EXPENSE OF THE REPAIR, AND THEY HAVE DECLINED BASED ON (I) THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND (II) I DID NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A BMW DEALER. THE CLOSEST BMW DEALER TO ME IS 135 MILES AWAY, AND THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT REAR LIGHTS.
PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN LOCK TO DOOR UPON FIRST PULL OF HANDLE. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IS DESIGNED TO OPEN BOTH THE LOCK AND THE DOOR LATCH BUT THE HANDLE FAILED TO START OPENING THE LOCK AT 41K MILES AND NOW REQUIRES THE USE OF THE ELECTRIC KEY FOB OR BUTTON IN THE CENTER CONSOLE. IF THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE POWER THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AT ALL.
VEHICLE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY (I-15, SOUTH OF SLC), TRAVELING AT 60 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AIR TEMPERATURE OF AIR CONDITIONING SET TO "MAX AC" STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR, APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES LATER ENGINE OVERHEATING ALERT CAME ON AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE. TOP VEHICLE SPEED WAS IMMEDIATELY LIMITED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES OF 60+ MPH TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC HAZARD TO BOTH OTHER VEHICLES AND MYSELF. THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN MY 2007 328I IN 2008 - I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY IN SEATTLE WHEN THE CAR OVERHEATED, DISPLAYED A WARNING THAT WENT FROM ORANGE TO RED IN APPROXIMATELY A
