2006 BMW 3 SERIES Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1131965
Internal NHTSA #	10655258

Brand	BMW
Model	3 SERIES
Model Year	2006
File date	12/11/14
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Car has automatic door locks, uses a fob. Parked the car, locked the doors with the fob. When i tried to unlock the doors with the fob, it only clicks - did not unlock. Used the key to unlock the drivers door, but found that once locked, no doors will unlock, not even manually from inside the car. The only door that will lock or unlock is the driver's door, and then only with the key from the outside. The post that pops up and down to indicate that the door is locked is impossible to pull up, and pulling the inside door handle does nothing. This is obviously very dangerous. At the very least, they should redesign the locks so that they can be opened from inside manually in case of an electrical failure!!!!
