Condensation in headlights, common in the vehicle with now fix. Water seeps through and destroys electronics, including leveling, adjusting, and turn signals. Each time it rains it becomes worse and makes visibility difficult. When the vehicle was bought it was stated to the sales department and was told it is no issue. Seen many other 5 series with same issue.

I bought a 2013 bmw 528 I a year ago with no warranty but I've been having problems with it. Right now its in the shop. I've taken it too two shop (bmw) both shops say I have to replace the engine along with the other problems am having. The first shop says it will cost me 10000.00 the 7000.00. I believe that dealer that sold me the was a bad car. Cany prove it. I was on my way to the shop when the vehicle stopped working. What legal action can I take an can I stop paying on the vehicle. Because its not working an I'm not driving it.
The driver's side door handle and/or actuator fails and does not open from the inside without pressing the electric button on the dash to unlock all doors. Upon pulling the inside door handle, the door lock pin slowly moves up and then recedes back down into the lock position when releasing the handle. In an emergency where an occupant would need to exit the vehicle quickly, or where the electronics have failed in the car, this could present a significant safety hazard, ultimately trapping an occupant in the vehicle.
I have an ongoing issue with the drivers side door lock where at random times (about 2x per month) the doors make a ratcheting sound like the motor is trying to lock and unlock door in very quick sequence. It happens right after I open the door coming into the car from the outside. I unlock via the remote when this happens. I have noticed that the lock on door moves into a position it is not supposed to be in so when you close the door you can hear metal on metal hitting. For now the door seems to lock and secure- I am concerned this will get worse and the door will not properly lock/ secure causing the door to come open while driving causing harm to myself or to others. I am attaching two pictures- one shows the lock as normal- the other shows the lock right after this issue happens where the wrong position of the lock can be seen. I have taken this in to bmw multiple times and they can't get the car to produce the issue while there and so they have not been able to resolve. A specialist looked at the car a they replaced an electronic board that controls the locks but the issue continues. I am frustrated at their lack of ability or interest in finding out what is happening or resolving the issue. The issue absolutely does exist and I am concerned for my safety.
