general problems of the 2007 BMW 7 Series

Two problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 2007 BMW 7 Series. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2014

Drivers side front door failed to close or latch. The door had to be 'zip tied' to rear driver side door to get the vehicle home. I took the vehicle into the dealership for diagnosis and was told that the issue was due to a faulty door lock actuator for my vehicle which has comfort access and soft close doors. I find this to be a serious safety issue if the actuator fails that the door cannot be closed at all.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2014

Drivers side front airbag seat mat sensor. Fault for driver side seat mat sensor. The passenger side seat mat sensor has been replaced under recall for the vehicle. However, the drivers side still has the error and I would like to know why the driver side seat mat sensor is not also covered under the recall for the passenger side seat mat sensor.
