| Description of the problem | Doors get locked and can not be opened from inside. Once the doors are locked the driver side door can not be opened from inside or outside with remote key buttons. If you are inside the car only way to get out is break the window or lower the window and then get out. Exactly same thing happened to my friend in his ford lincoln when they were trapped inside after an accident ,car caught fire and he, his wife and 12 year old son were all burnt alive. We raised the other son who was not in that deadly car. This bmw 315i car is totally unsafe and the problem is known to them but there was no recall to fix this faulty, unsafe car. I noticed the problem when the car was parked in a parking lot. I had to take out the hard key from the remote unit and opened the driver side door but could not open other three doors from inside or from remote unit. Now the car is with bmw of fremont dealership in 44175 auto mall cir ,fremont, california 510-659-7902 |
