Issue ID	736358
Internal NHTSA #	10281623
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	3 SERIES
Model Year	2006
File date	20/06/09
Component	LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Can't recall the exact sequence of button pushing that resulted in my being locked inside the vehicle. Not even the double handle pull that usually releases the lock from the inside worked. Had to roll down the window and use manual key from the outside to unlock. Diagnosed as a blown fuse. Fuse was replaced. Now locks are intermittent again after 2 months of working ok. The car has had the actuator replaced before, now it appears to be broken again. Will not electrically lock or unlock now. This seams like a huge safety concern in the event of an accident.
