While driving my vehicle the driver door ejected open causing me to stop instantly to where the door needed to be held in order for me to make it to a safe destination so unreal I was scared to death it doesnt close at all in order to drive now.

My vehicle just shut of while I was driving this has happened a total of four times while driving and three times total while idle. Just recently when the vehicle shut off I almost got rear ended. The vehicle also would not start after it had shut itself off. I tried to start it but it wouldn't turn over. Then a message on the the display read "transmission drive fail safe malfunction only gears p,n,r, d3 and d5 can be engaged without pressing the parking brake. " and it also displayed something about battery discharged and will be disconnected soon. Then I was prompted to "recharge battery" after the message. After the vehicle had been sitting for almost an hour I started it. There weren't any messages in the display about malfunctions of any kind everything was cleared. I drove the vehicle home and turned it off and on about five times and it started fine. I also noticed that when I idle my car and I get out of the drivers seat or lift out of the seat and sit back down both times I can hear the fuel pump buzzing for about 1-2 seconds.

I took my 745li to the only BMW service center in davenport, IA for service and they could not open the hood by using the latch inside the car nor could they open it by any other means. There was nothing that led up to this issue, it just happened. They failed once again to open the hood the next time I brought the car in for a service so I asked them to fix the problem. They stated it was not something covered under my extended warranty, so I was forced to pay out of pocket. They stated that they had to remove my front tire in order to open the hood and that the faulty part was the mechanism that connects with the latch and hood. I paid over $3k for an extensive warranty, so I was livid that something like this was not covered. I had to pay out of pocket for new parts, repairs and of course labor. I keep my vehicle in tip-top condition and I even keep it in storage during the winter months. At the time of this incident, it was only 6 years old. For a $80k car; I expected more.

This vehicle has a defective transmission, BMW is aware of this but is banking on not enough complaints. When the car comes to a complete stop it pushes car to front as if being rear ended, but its the defective transmission guibo joint or and a software issue that BMW had installed in thousands of BMW vehicles at the time. There are many frustrated owners that have paid thousands of dollars for this car. It is unsafe cause it pushes car to front causing a possible hit to front car in a traffic situation. Here is more about this service bulletin, I feel BMW should fix this at no charge since this is a safety hazard.
