BMW 745I 2005 Safety Review #10278164
BMW 745I 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 21, 2009.BMW 745I 2005, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . MY CAR WAS REPAIRED BACK IN 9/8/2008 FOR NON FUNCTIONING DOOR HANDLES AND LOCKS. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE PARTS THE DOORS HAVE OPENED WITHOUT NOTICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED, SO THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED. I WAS GOING ON A ROAD TRIP WITH MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE, AND DURING THIS ROAD TRIP I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY ON AN EXIT RAMP AND THE DOOR SWUNG COMPLETELY OPEN AND MY DOG ALMOST FELL OUT OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE DEALER THE DOOR DID NOT WANT TO STAY LATCHED AND KEPT POPPING OPEN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WORKED ON 3-4 TIMES WITHOUT A RESOLUTION. THE DOORS POPPING OPEN ON A VEHICLE DURING USE COULD BE VERY FATAL TO SOMEONE IN THE CAR. THE DEALER SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THE CAR AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE DOORS POPPING OPEN IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED APROX. 15-20 TIMES SINCE THEY REPLACED THE DOOR HANDLES BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR. *TR.Mileage was 85000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAGL63575D. Bmw 745i 2005 problem was reported in HAMILTON, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 50 mph.

BMW 745I 2005 car safety problem was reported on Oct 27, 2009.BMW 745I 2005, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . CAR IS A 2005 BMW 745I. DRIVER'S SIDE OCCUPANT SENSOR (IN SEAT) HAS CRACKED AND IS CAUSING AIRBAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND AS I UNDERSTAND IS DISABLING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE CAR FOR THE PASSENGER-SIDE SENSOR CRACKING, WHICH IS A VERY SIMILAR PART. DEALERSHIP AND BMW USA IS REFUSING TO ASSIST ME, I BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THE SIMILARITIES IN NATURE TO THE PASSENGER-SIDE SEAT SENSOR RECALL, THE DRIVERS-SIDE SEAT SENSOR NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS WELL FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. *TR.Mileage was 84000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAGL63515D. Bmw 745i 2005 problem was reported in TYLER, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
