Child safety lock window get stuck and remain stuck, glass window will not roll up. The rotary on this vehicle manufacturing is damaged and I have done numerous research trying to find a solution and found that there is a big community of frustrated bmw owner with the same issue but bmw is not willing to acknowledge this fail window manufacturing error. This is the rear child seat window and it stuck. It has stuck before at a parking lot at work and I had to end up seating there to for almost an hour until it roll up. This time it will not roll up and I had to leave the window down while parking the car at the hospital. Please do diligence and research this as many owner are frustrated. The dealership wants to charge 700 to fix it!

Front side passenger window regulator stopped working and the cable snapped while stopped at a red light causing the window to fall down into the door. Window will no longer roll up and I'm forced to put a garbage bag to cover the open window which is a safety hazard when driving. I no longer have visibility on my right hand side when driving.

Takata recall: all began from purchase 09/2013 had engine bolt fixed on recall, but since several engine work performed due to loss of power when driving, had replaced coil/tune up done, several gaskets in the engine hasd to be replaced by bmw dealer, and dealer can't fix vehicle for "sputtering/back firing" when sitting at light or stationary it just stutters. Time to time driver window will not roll down when in car. Also, the seat belt light chimes to put seat belt on and no one is in passenger seat. Stereo lights pixels burning out & sound from time to time the speakers has muffled sound or poor quality sound. Brought car with 20,000 miles and now has 57,000 miles and issues with engine is way too much for low mileage.

When the consumer's wife attempted to roll down the windows using the controls located on the panel, the windows did not move, they subsequently sagged in the window frames and created an opening. The windows could be pushed un in the frame by hand, but would then fall back down when driving. Updated 02/22/12

I have a 1999 bmw 328i (e46 body). Within the past couple of years, I have had recurring issues, usually on hot or cold days, where the door locks and windows will not function properly. In addition, when locked, the car alarm will go off at random intervals. I've even had one instance where the windows rolled up automatically and the doors locked while I was still in the car and the only way I could get out was by unlocking the doors with the electric key fob. Neither opening the door handle or unlocking from the center console worked. Some research shows that these symptoms are common indicators of a faulty gm5 module and that this problem is well known. Getting it fixed would require a service visit, perhaps multiple diagnoses, and close to $1000.00 to fix. I feel that bmw should address this issue as it is a fairly severe safety concern. I would not want to find myself locked in my car with no way to exit.
