4 Equipment problem of the 2005 BMW 7 Series

Failure Date: 10/27/2014

Took the BMW 745li in to the dealership for slow to start cranking and second opinion. Also wanted the dealership to review airbag light and dsc. Upon review by the dealership, all four door tags and szl (comfort access) is causing battery drain and must be replaced. Also was quoted that the cluster needed to be replaced and a fuel line leak is present. After speaking with a manager, it was decided that they were not sure if the door tags and szl would assist with clearing the slow crank. I opted the service from that dealer and decided to pick up the vehicle. After driving about 5 miles, I realized that the car reeked of gas. This was not an apparent issue when driving the vehicle in to the dealership. The dealership has caused more hardship than assistance.

The right/passenger front door does not stay shut. It will not lock, it will not latch. It appears that the actuator is defective this is a safety issue and should be addressed by BMW and not a cost to the consumer.

6 Equipment problem of the 2008 BMW 7 Series

Failure Date: 04/29/2014

I previously filed a complaint with the NHTSA approximately 1 week ago to report that the driver's side door on my vehicle suddenly stopped latching closed. I took the vehicle to an authorized BMW center in princeton NJ to have this issue diagnosed and resolved. They replaced the door lock actuator and the door latched closed as it should for about a week. 1 week later (today) the same door latch exhibited the same problem, only this time it became unlatched while I was driving on a local road. The doors were locked prior to the driver side open swinging open and proceeding to unlock. This leads me to believe that the door latch actuator was not the problem, and there is a much bigger problem here, or that princeton BMW did not replace the part as they claimed (and billed me for).
