2003 BMW 325I Latches Locks Linkages Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	896392
Internal NHTSA #	10439291
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	325I
Model Year	2003
File date	26/11/10
Component	LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Doors will not open because door locks will not unlock. Key fob button will not unlock any doors 90% of the time. Most of the time i can only get in car on drivers side with manual operation of driver's side door lock (sticking key in lock and turning). Once in car, 90% of time i still cannot unlock any other doors, even by pulling on door handle (which would ordinarily unlock the door). The interior button to unlock the doors will not work. On friday, 12/9/11, i could not even get out of the driver's side door when i arrived at my destination. (car is set to automatically engage all locks once i start driving) i had to roll window down and reach out and unlock door with key. When my son and daughter drive with me, they have to get in and out of car either by crawling across driver's seat or go through a window opening. My wife cannot ride in this car now because she may not be able to get out. Due to this defect, passengers are trapped in car. Also, entry into vehicle is delayed (because fob will not unlock doors) which also poses safety risks when parked at night in downtown parking garages. There are five other complaints on nhtsa website on this exact same issue. Recall should be initiated.
