| Description of the problem | For no reason one day, my door unlock button does not work and i am not able to open the door by pulling on the door handle. The only way to open the door is to use the key and open it from the outside. This only works for the driver door, and you are not able to open any of the remaining doors. This could be a severe safety issue especially if the car is in an accident in which people would not be able to get out. The failure has been consistent and is not intermittent and should be corrected for all cars on the road, since people could die. The only way to exit the vehicle would be to climb out of the windows. The car effected is 2006 bmw 325i. |
