What owners wrote
Regarding his defective 2006 BMW 325I customer is seeking full reimbursement, replacement of the car or upgrade* the sunroof and door locks malfunctioned, the brake pads were faulty. While driving, the consumer noticed the hood was vibrating. The consumer managed to pull over and discovered the hood wasn't leveled. The driver side didn't seem to fully adhere to the body of the car.
When trying to unlock the vehicle using the remote, the doors would not unlock. The vehicle has only one manual unlock latch for key insert into the door on the drivers door. Was able to unlock only the drivers door. The remaining three doors cannot be unlocked at all, not even when opening from the inside. Also the gas tank door will not open either. This is not an isolated problem numerous vehicles of this make, model, and year are having the same issue.
