When turning on heat or air the blower makes aloud noise sounding like a grunting sound and heat or air not force thru vents. Happen when turning on either stationary or driving. Have had water pump replaced because dealer stated car needed new water to work .I have put into a complaint with bmw dealer in towson and continue to run into dead end. I just received a notice from mva stating that there are 2 recalls since may 2018 about the blower motor and the crankcase ventilation(pvc) value heater? I have been fighting with the dealer to repair these issues and that informed me i would have to past for diagnosis fees etc.

The front driver side door latch fails to fully engage.

The car died on more than one occasion, leaving me stranded. The steering wheel locks and nothing else occurs. The car is completely dead. I have small children and during these winter months is a safety concern not only for my own children's safety but also mine. This is not an isolated incident, the same occurred before, but i didn't know a complaint could be filed. Therefore, i would like to request for it to be investigated perhaps needs to be identified as a "recall". I thank you in advance.

The incident listed pertains to the remote control that failed to function in entirety. I could not open any of the doors from the outside. After entering the car with the key, nothing in the car would function. I had to have the car towed to the dealer which was closed. Towing a bmw is a formidable task. The dealer could not ascertain the cause but changing an electronic control module was recommended and that seemingly fixed the problem. However, on 7/14,2012, the remote would not open any of the doors from either the inside or out. Only the drive side door could be opened from the inside. Today, the dealer diagnosed the problem as an electrical short in the door lock mechanism and unrelated to the previous failure. The recommendation was to replace the door lock system as it was the only way to fix the problem. Numerous complaints such as these have been reported, but bmw was not required to notify owners of affected cars about the problems. Both are safety related as there is no way to open the rear doors from either the inside or outside. The dealer told me the only way to get a child or person out of the rear passenger compartment was to somehow bring them to the front seat and out the driver side front door. Why hasn't nhtsa done anything about this serious problem with affected bmw vehicles? *tr

Bmw 120i auto was bought in 2007/11. After a few months 'engine malfunction, reduce power' message came up. Car was taken to dealership and the valvetronic was replaced. Since then, at random occurrences, the car fails to produce full power on acceleration - especially when accelerating away from junctions. The only solution is to turn off the car and start it up again. This is an extremely dangerous fault as vehicle will stagger in the middle of intersections. The car has been taken back to the shop several times and bmw still cannot find the problem - all they do is restart/reprogram the car's computer. *tr
