The Visibility problem

I drive a 2000 BMW 323i and at times due to a faulty center control module (most likely) I can not get out of my car. It will not unlock from the outside or inside, but thankfully I can roll down the windows if I need to get out. This is extremely dangerous if I needed to get out in a hurry.   Read details...

The Windshield Wiper/washer problem

On several occasions my windshield wipers have ceased working after I have come to a stop and then started moving again. This only seems to happen after the wipers have been in use for at least 30 minutes. The consequences are extremely limited visibility and difficulty even pulling off the road.   Read details...

The Wiper problem

Air bags deployed while vehicle was in motion. Recall for vehicle airbags in effect, however my situation was found to be unrelated to the recall. I advise the recall be re-investigated to include spontaneous air bag deployment.   Read details...
