Airbags never popped open, door handle opened and is still not shutting correctly. Since my car was paid in full, I did not carry full coverage only liability so I did not file a claim. I paid the damages out of my own pocket and just this week I've paid the last $1200. 00 of the part ordered for last of repairs. In total ive paid a little over 15,000 out of my own money.
Got into the vehicle with my passengers. We where leaving a walmart when all of a sudden I made a sharp turn and my door just popped open. My passenger would have fell out of the car if her seatbelt was not on. Luckily I was not close to any cars or there would have been a crash. I contacted BMW about the issue because I saw there was a recall on that same part that broke in my door panel. In the recall letter I read on your site I saw that BMW acknowledged the problem, and recalled vehicles of my year and make because the doors where popping open out of now where. BMW told me they can't do nothing for me and to visit a service center where I was quoted at 1000 dollars to fix a problem. I don't have that kind of money to pay for something BMW is a fault for and acknowledged. I currently have two bungee cords holding my door shut it still wont close to this day. My passenger could have died. I am filing this complaint because I want them to be accountable and fix this issue. I am worried to death it could happen to another door with another passenger I would understand if it was normal wear and tear I have to get fixed but this is unsafe and not normal wear and tear.

I just closed the door and it would not latch! I have soft close doors and it would not work. It will not latch with the key and it won't work with the inside lock button?

I see that there are many other models like mine having the same issue. This should be repaired by BMW across the board!.
