Multiple electronic button failure

2007 320 CDI GL: soft key position for "back" function, a popular button to use, has stopped working, with no response. Rear door driver's side keyless entry button has failed. Anyone else experience same?

Nearly a year and some 25K miles later, I've had the following problems; turbo hose failure, twice. Rear liftgate closure adjustment needed, once. Recall on the driveshaft sensor, no failure. Occasionally the interior smells badly, but that's just me. This sounds tremendously anomolous but with the possibility of a water leak as has been experienced by another member. (Who had the problem again?)

In fact my only other problems have been caused externally. The job I was on yesterday I got a small bit of hail damage (amazingly, considering how small the hail itself was).

That was me. My electrical problems were more serious than yours but I would be skeptical if I were you. Here's the link to the entire thread.

BTW, I have not had any electrical problems whatsoever since they diagnosed and corrected the leak...

Good luck.
