problem #1

Jan 212005

745 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

There have been many occasions when the doors on my 2002 BMW 745 have frozen closed after driving to a destination. This could have resulted in a serious problem had we been in an accident and not been able to exit the car. Myself and my passengers could have been trapped in the car. I have also had occasion when the door would not latch after driving to a destination. I have made numerous complaints to the dealer and have been told there is no solution to this problem other than spraying the door latch with silicone. This only works for a short while and is ineffective if very cold temperatures follow within a day or two of rain or having the car washed.
