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. *TR
