2016 BMW X1 Complaints

I parked my car in the garage and secured everything and when I turned the ignition off and cluster message appeared "secure vehicle against rolling". The car is parked on a level surface and parking brake engaged.

When parking or starting the car a warning message is issued indicate that I should secure the vehicle against rolling and the transmission is flagged as the problem. I did some research online and found out this is a very common problem with the BMW X1. A small spring breaks in the shifter linkage. https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1840937. BMW is charging upwards of $3000 to make the repair even though it is a known common defect in the car. This should be covered by a safety recall.

I took my car to the dealer after I started to get an error message saying that I needed to put the parking brake on to prevent rolling. It was very stressful driving the car while this error message was in place. When I took it took the dealer, I was charged $200 for a diagnostic and was told there's nothing operationally wrong with the car but the sensor can't tell that the car is in park and is giving me this error message. I was quoted over $2,500 to fix this--replacing the entire gear shift assembly apparently because there is a broken spring somewhere in the system. This absolutely should be a recall issue. It's ridiculous that owners should be required to spend so much money to get this fixed just to get peace of mind and feel assured that the vehicle we're driving is safe. I have gotten all required and suggested maintenance religiously and promptly, but this one is a tough pill to swallow. BMW should do the right thing and recall vehicles to correct this. If they're not willing to do this voluntarily, they should be forced to do so. Thank you very much for looking into this. My car is available for inspection and I'm happy to provide photos or anything else you may need.

there's an error appearing in the main screen stating "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling"

Unknown, design fault! I’m having an issue with the warning light saying Secure Vehicle from Rolling every time I turn on/off my car. My main menu or radio doesn’t appear until I confirm notice about the parking brake. There were no warnings before this it just toned and has been consistent every time. The dealer says it may be a small spring in the gear box, while the gears are working good.

"Secure vehicle against rolling" light came on after parking. Will not turn off despite engaged parking brake.

At 44,000 miles, I began getting the error code "secure vehicle against rolling" every time I started the engine. Took car in to local dealership who advised I needed to have the gear shift assembly replaced as the car could roll even when placed in park. Out of fear that the car could roll and cause damage to myself or others, I requested they order the part immediately. After doing some research online, I learned that this has been a problem with certain BMW's and mini coopers since at least 2014. I do not understand why BMW has not resolved this issue and issued a recall or at least agreed to cover the cost of repair once the problem is detected. I contacted BMW corporate who replied no recall had been issued and they would not cover the cost of 2090.36 I paid for the repair.

The BMW's display showed "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling". We took the car to the BMW dealership and they repaired the issue with a complete gear selector display assembly. We are concerned that this is a safety issue and we understand this may be a common problem with BMW. The vehicle in question had only 22,669 miles on the odometer when repaired.

I have read from hundreds of other people having the same problem. One side of the moonroof shade has come loose just from simply leaving it open.

I saw there was a recall for the sunroof for my type of vehicle, sunroof components do not open when I press to open it. Cloth of sunroof got stuck and is now broken.
