| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I live in upstate ny. last night the temperatures dropped to a very chilly 0 degrees f. or so. in the morning i attempted to open the front driver's side door of my bmw x5 4.4 (2001). the latch seemed to work but the door seemed frozen shut, so i pulled harder. the door finally came open - but all latches on that door have ceased to work - from the inside or the outside of the car. the passenger side door seems to be showing similar symptoms but i have not pulled the door open yet for fear of further damage. fortunately i wasn't driving when this happened but i could have potentially been locked inside my car without any way to exit it! i'll be taking the vehicle to the dealership asap to get it repaired but this seems like a very serious problem that bmw has been unwilling to address! *nm |
