Structure

Show complaint excerpts

The door lock actuators are known to be defective in that if one pulls on the handle, the door will not mechanically unlock by double-pulling the handle, meaning the only way to unlock the door is by using electronic unlock button.

NHTSA ODI report, 2018-12-12

Doors will not unlock manually from time to time. The only way to unlock is to use the central unlocking feature. Could be deadly in a crash! BMW will not even look at the car unless I pay them a $150 diagnostic fee!
