The passenger side soft door closer stopped working. I had to manually shut the door, and at times the door would not latch and I had to hold it while driving. It was fixed by a certified bmw service provider at the cost of over $1,200. Also, the auto trunk stopped working and I now have to close it manually. The certified bmw service provider said that it would cost approximately $800 to fix.
-----original message----- to bmw n/a subject: regarding comfort access sys recall fm[xxx] to: customer service recall letter no. 12v‑502:rollaway to whom it may concern: approximately 4-5 months ago I began have small unusual electrical problems. Where the car would not start, I had to repeatedly depress the start button, to have the car start. Next the remote door soft touch refused to work continuously, but the key fob would operate the door. While we were away I thought since the car battery was the original (installed in 07), I considered that perhaps power may have been the culprit and had aaa replace the battery while away form home. Recently 02/11/12, I had to take my 750 to the dealer because I had to drive home manually holding my drivers door closed. The soft close door would not latch. The dealer said it was because of the "comfort access system", and the part had to be replaced at a cost of $1200.00. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I own a 2008 bmw 750li with soft close doors. The passenger side front door will not close properly. The soft close does not work at all anymore and 9 times out of 10 the door will not close at all. I have to repeatedly try to close the door over and over and over. If this is the same problem as previous models, why is this not part of a recall.
Own 2008 bmw 750 w/ soft close doors. Having the same issue as the 2005-2007 750s that have been recalled. At 35 MPH, door flew open and I couldn't close. Sometimes it latches and sometimes it doesn't. Cpo just expired 1 month ago. Dealer wants $ 1800 to fix. I know other owners w/ soft close doors - nothing but headaches. Considering the 2008 has the same doors as the 2007, I cannot imagine why the recall didn't extend to the 2008 also.
I began driving the vehicle and the driver's door came open and would not latch afterward.
