• Vehicle rollaway investigation # EA12002

  In a letter dated october 16, 2012, bmw of north america, llc (bmw) submitted a defect information report (dir), nhtsa recall no. 12v-502 to nhtsa identifying a safety defect involving the possibility of unattended vehicle rollaway in my 2005 through 2008 bmw 7-series (approximately 45,000) vehicles equipped with the comfort access option.The comfort access option allows the driver to start and stop the engine (by pressing the engine start / stop button) without inserting the key fob into the vehicles key slot in the instrument panel.Subject vehicles not equipped with the comfort access option require the key fob be inserted the key slot to start the engine.Upon removal of the key from the key slot the vehicle will automatically shift to park if the driver has not done so using the gearshift lever.Sunject vehicles equipped with the comfort access option are designed such that when the vehicle is stopped with the service brakes applied and the transmission in drive or reverse, the driver can push the engine start/stop button one time, stopping the engine and automatically shifting the transmission to park.In its dir, bmw identified a condition such that if the driver depressed the start-stop button multiple times in rapid succession, the transmission could shift to neutral instead of park.With the transmission in neutral, depending on the slope of the road, the vehicle could rollaway if unattended.In review of data submitted to the office of defects investigation (odi) and of reports submitted to bmw, odi identified 20 reports alleging vehicle rollaway involving vehicles equipped with comfort access.The vehicles identified in these reports are all subject to recall 12v-502.Ten of these reports were identified as likely related to the defect described in recall 12v-502.Two of the reports are likely related to other mechanical failures.The remaining 8 allegations of vehicle rollaway could not be associated with a specific cause.There are 32 reports alleging vehicle rollaway in the subject vehicles not equipped with the comfort access option.A vehicle based safety defect trend was not identified in these reports.Subject vehicles not equipped the comfort access option will automatically shift to park once the key fob is removed from the key slot.In this regard these vehicles behave similarly to those with traditional mechanical keys where the key cannot be removed from the ignition unless the vehicle is shifted to park.The difference between these vehicles and the subject vehicles with the comfort access option is that in the comfort access equipped vehicles, the engine can be started and stopped without the key fob in the key slot.Odi reports 10429922 and 10419177 noted in the ea opening resume were determined to be vehicles not equipped with the comfort access option and odi did not identify a vehicle based safety defect associated with these incidents.This investigation is closed.The odi report cited above can be reviewed at www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification (odi) numbers:10185770

Air bag warning indicator illuminated. Warning states fault in passenger restraint system affecting the airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter this warning illuminated upon starting the vehicle on 9/30/2018. There was no one sitting the in passenger seat and there have been no collisions.

On 11-19-2017 while driving on a city roadway. My passenger car door suddenly opened and to avoid any physical damage to my passenger i abruptly turn my vehicle to a safer position. No soon after that i notice my vehicle leveling warning sign appear on the dash. With research, i found out that opening door linked up to recall on the nhtsa. I proceeded to call bmw for the fix. Not knowing the mechanics of the vehicle, i assumed this fix will fix the door lock and the leveling problem. However, i got the door fixed but the leveling problem got even worse after the lock got fixed. I picked up my vehicle on 12-23-2017. Tthe leveling is a high safety concern. I would like to know if the issue exists with these cars and i would like a remedy for my situation. I contacted bmw, but they will not fix the issue as a recall.

2007 bmw 7 series. Consumer writes in regards to door latch safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the door opened while driving and the driver almost fell out. The door had to be held while driving, as to keep it from opening again. Updated 10/24/2017*js

Received this fault - '"driver restraint system fault." belt tensioner or belt force limiter fault.' the mat seat sensor seems to have prematurely worn out. Just like the passenger side mat that was recalled

System airbag failure light came on inside the car when i was driving and remained on. Message stated that i needed to take it to the nearest bmw dealership. I took the car to my mechanic who diagnosed the problem being the front seat occupant mat and was told by my mechanic that this has been a big problem with bmw and certain models of there cars and i should check into a possible recall in this.

I was communting to work when the door popped open. At first i heard the dash chime and qucikly noticed the sound of wind while i was driving. I looked to my left and the driver side door was cracked open while i was driving 65 miles an hour. I reacted quickly but was in complete was shock . I attempted to quickly shut the door while driving but the lock would not catch. All i could do was hold the door close as tightly as i could until i was able to pull over. When i stopped i made three attempts to close the door completey, on the forth try it closed. I continued to drive on to work and about twenty minutes later it happened again but i was just upthe street from my job. I went to work and called my husband crying and the nearest bmw service dept. I did not call anyone while communting after the incident due to the fact that i was in fear of the door opening again and my hands were not free. I called the dealer and the rep researched for any recalls in regards in which he could not locate any on the door handle. He informed me that it was something with the door module and i needed to update the programming for the door. I was totally confused. But it cost me $700 for one door lock replacement. After the incident i recalled that a couple times prevously to the incident that the soft close would sometimes not work on the front driver side door and to this date i am unsure if the two problems correlated to my $700 fix.

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.

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. *tr

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. *tr
