2007 BMW 3 SERIES Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	895301
Internal NHTSA #	10438519
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	3 SERIES
Model Year	2007
File date	14/11/11
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Electric door locks failed on all four doors with no symptoms prior to complete system failure. Key fob and central locking system button inside car would not unlock any door. Doors would not open by pulling on interior door latch handles. The only way to enter/exit vehicle was by using key on exterior driver's side door to unlock the door, or through the windows. This seems like an extremely dangerous single point egress failure that could result in unnecessary injury or loss of life in emergency situations. I replaced the blown 15a fuse (#57) with a 20a fuse per si b51 19 07 twice. First functional test by pressing the central lock system button resulted in the new fuse blowing immediately each time. Further troubleshooting and repair will be necessary to resolve issue (likely by replacing faulty electro/mechanical door latch/lock/actuator mechanism).

What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
