| Description of the problem | The door locks and central locking system are malfunctioning. Key fob will not unlock driver's door and other doors. Key must be used for entry. Bmw admits in bulletins that fuse amperage was designed improperly. Taken into dealership for repair, dealership claims that all four door latches need to be replaced at a cost of $1,490. 00. Research indicates this is a systemic issue with bmws. Surprised that a recall has not been ordered given the serious safety issues involved. |
