Steering · at 146,000 miles · reported Jan 21, 2015
The car died on more than one occasion, leaving me stranded. The steering wheel locks and nothing else occurs. The car is completely dead. I have small children and during these winter months is a safety concern not only for my own children's safety but also mine. This is not an isolated incident, the same occurred before, but I didn't know a complaint could be filed. Therefore, I would like to request for it to be investigated perhaps needs to be identified as a "recall". I thank you in advance.

Electrical System · at 42,500 miles · reported Jul 16, 2012
The incident listed pertains to the remote control that failed to function in entirety. I could not open any of the doors from the outside. After entering the car with the key, nothing in the car would function. I had to have the car towed to the dealer which was closed. Towing a bmw is a formidable task. The dealer could not ascertain the cause but changing an electronic control module was recommended and that seemingly fixed the problem. However, on 7/14,2012, the remote would not open any of the doors from either the inside or out. Only the drive side door could be opened from the inside.…
Power Train · at 4,000 miles · reported Feb 26, 2009
Bmw 120i auto was bought in 2007/11. After a few months 'engine malfunction, reduce power' message came up. Car was taken to dealership and the valvetronic was replaced. Since then, at random occurrences, the car fails to produce full power on acceleration - especially when accelerating away from junctions. The only solution is to turn off the car and start it up again. This is an extremely dangerous fault as vehicle will stagger in the middle of intersections. The car has been taken back to the shop several times and bmw still cannot find the problem - all they do is restart/reprogram the…
