Bmw north america said they could not see the vehicle in there system and could not initiate repairs until it was.

The rear doors won't lock and the front doors won't unlock and the gas lid won't open! This just happened out of nowhere. Read online by lots of folks that's it's an door actuator and wrong fuse.
