| Description of the problem | 2006 bmw 330i started intermittently have door lock issues. One door would not unlock but others would. Today (05/31/11) i was at lunch with my kids and we went to get in the car and none of the doors would unlock with the remote except the right rear. I leaned in and tried to unlock the others with the handle but they would not. I climbed through to the drivers seat and drove home. I got to my house and was locked in the car. The door would not unlock with the button on the dash, the key, or by pulling on the handle. I had to climb out the window and i had to pull my kids out of their windows to get them out. Now the car is awaiting a service appointment but the car is too unsafe to drive in the meantime. I am scared something will happen and we will get trapped in the car. |
