2015 BMW 528I - UNKNOWN OR OTHER Failure Complaint (#af8dcc)

2015 BMW 528I

  • Date of Incident: Feb-01, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Feb-02, 2023
  • Failed components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Driver side front door handle/actuator freezes in cold weather. Door will not open from inside or outside. This is a safety issue as it could trap a person inside. This seems to be a problem with the cables that connect the handles to the mechanism itself, not the actual door latch as it can be moved with fingers when the mechanism is frozen.
