problem #1

Jan 172006

530 6-cyl

  • 30,450 miles
The automatic door locking system failed while driving my 2001 BMW 530I completely disabling the driver side door. It would not open manually. Egress from car was limited to passenger and rear doors. A potentially unsafe condition in event of an accident.
