My vehicle has a drivers side defective door latch leaving the door to occasionally not close properly and unexpectedly open. This is a critical vehicle component that is not serving its purpose causing potential loss of vehicle control or injury to persons inside and outside the vehicle. Due to extremely poor design my vehicles navigation/audio components are inoperable. Leakage of fluid from the trunk hydraulic shock down onto the navigation system has resulted in wiring system problems that may result in fire and or loss of lighting. I have maintained my vehicle since purchase with the most attentive and prestigious service. I am extremely concerned and disappointed that I am having these safety and poor design problems due to bmw defects and flaws. Last week I called bmw of north america regarding these 2 safety issues. I was advised to take it to by bmw service center for inspection and contact them upon doing so. Yesterday I contacted them in an attempt to forward the diagnosis/action plan and to my surprise not only was I refused the right to forward the paperwork but was also refused any remedy by bmw.

As my wife and son were driving the passenger door just unlatched from latch and would not latch back, after some research ,I found that there was a recall for the door latch issue on bmw 750 models built from 08/04 to 09/07 notice was 12v504 with that info in hand I called reeves bmw in tampa fla only to be told it was not a open campaign based on my VIN even though my vehicle was built 01/07 and has both cas and soft close doors just as recall notice noted, nothing in the may 2013 technical service bulletin states anything about certain VIN's just the production date's, this is a issue that should be addressed by this agency with more vigor because it is more than a inconvenience but a [xxx] safety issue. Which is going to cause someone to lose there life. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Own a 2007 bmw 750li. I started having problems with my driver side door several weeks ago. My driver door would not shut. Yesterday, I was at the work, went back to my car, used the remote and the door opened. Got into my car and my door would not shut. I tried to use the automatic lock and it did not work. I used the key on the driver side and waited until I heard it catch, this reengaged my lock so I was able to close the door. Update comp code to latches/locks/linkages. Very dangerous not having the door lock. Need to be a general recall on this defect.
