Error message "Secure Vehicle against rolling engage parking brake" on starting car and when parking. Come to find out there have been several complaints about 2017 BMW X1 having this same problem, error message caused by a faulty spring in the Shifter panel. Seems to me that this should be put on a Recall list as soon as possible as this could cause a safety issue if in fact the system malfunctions and causes the car to roll or shift into drive when stopped. This error message just started about a week ago. BMW dealership has checked the car and confirmed the issue is a faulty spring and that the whole Shifter needs to be replaced.

As car is placed in park, and even after the parking brake is applied a message on the dash board and alert pops up saying "Secure Vehicle from Rolling" even though I am on a very flat street. Under details it states "Secure vehicle with parking brake when stopped. Consult service center." The parking brake is engaged!
Sunshae blind is falling off on one side causing bad view of a light while driving I'm a tall man. Electric issue possible causing the track to function wrong causing sun shade to tear off. Small amount thin line of adhesive can be seen on the cloth shade. Please issue something about this many drivers on car threads have this issue.
Car won't start up on first try anymore. Taking 3 tries. Keeps saying that there is no signal. Seems like from the bimmer forum a lot of people are having the same issue. Also saying to close the hood when the hood isn't open. It's happening every day now that the messages are popping up and the car won't start! I hope there is a recall asap. I've only had this car for a year and is has $38k miles on it! Absolutely ridiculous. These cars are to expensive to be dealing with this issue!
There is a light that came on that states Transmission: secure vehicle against rolling. This is a common problem with these cars and is very expensive to fix. This is a defect in these cars and I don’t want to find out what will happen in the event that my car does roll especially my children in the car. I chose BMW because it is not only a luxury vehicle but was suppose to be safe. This to me is NOT safe.
Transmision message warning "secure vehicle with parking brake”. “Secure Vehicle from Rolling”
car started showing an error every time I got into the vehicle saying to "Secure vehicle against rolling. Apparently it's a common issue with the gear selector.
The fix transition to "stop vehicle from rolling" light is on but it's just the warning light and is requiring a replacement of a part that is not broken.
I’m having an issue with the warning light saying “Secure Vehicle from Rolling“. Many other owners reporting same issue in online discussion groups and forums. Expensive fix for a recurring issue that should be subject to a recall.
Error msg indicating “secure vehicle against rolling” appeared. Also, “Transmission: Secure vehicle with parking brake when stopped. Consult service center.” Apparently from many comments from other BMW owners and mechanics the issue is common and is related to an inexpensive spring that has broken in the shifter box. It seems the broken spring prevents the electronic system from receiving a signal that the car is in Park. Also, from comments, this a very expensive repair. I’m not sure of the safety risk with this.
Secure vehicle against roll. This is a common issue but there is no active recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 bmw x1. The contact stated that upon placing the vehicle into park, the vehicle may roll, apply your emergency brake, contact your service provider warning message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to rusnak bmw (3645 auto mall dr, thousand oaks, ca 91362) where she was informed that they had heard of similar failures however, this failure was a rare occurrence. The contact was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and agreed to pay for a portion of repair. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
The tailgate automatically starts closing on me when I am loading or unloading. It starts beeping so I at least get a warning but I have to put my hand up and stop it from crashing on my head. I have told my dealership about this since the first few times it happened, but was told there was nothing wrong with it. Note my feet are not going under the bumper (and that feature does not work on this car ever anyway). This happens when car is stopped and turned off. However one time the trunk opened on me when I was stopped in traffic at a red light and had to get out of the car to go shut it. Not convenient.
The rear trunk of the car starts closing by itself. I injured my hand due to such sudden closure. This problem is all over the internet with thousands of customers hitting it and bmw is not acknowledging or fixing the issue.
