Description of the problem | On may 21, 2008, i reported a problem regarding my bmw x5 having a door failure problem regarding the electronic system. On may 29, 2008 i was in a motor vehicle accident. The accident was not my fault. I was hit from behind. My son and i were injured. I had to be extracted from the vehicle. The emergency personal could not open the passenger door to remove me from the vehicle. They had to go through the back seat. I had complained to you and bmw regarding the safety hazard of this vehicle. Bmw was slow to reply. The original reply was that i didn't provide a clear explanation regarding this issue. So, i complained again. There response was untimely and this entire safety issue has resulted in a very traumatic experience. I had advised you and bmw that this was a safety issue. No one responded in a timely manner. How many more families will have to experience this type of trauma before you recall this vehicle? What are you going to do about this? This is a safety issue and should be addressed. |
