“Secure car against rolling” Message caused by failing spring that bmw appears to want >$4000 to fix while the part is only 5-6$. Appears to be a very common problem for this vehicle that needs to be addressed by bmw. Thanks

Summary

The hatch will randomly auto-close either immediately after opening, or sometimes 15+ seconds after opening where you think it's safe to load items in or out. Sometimes it doesn't do it at all. Others report the issue: https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1392539 I had it in for other repairs and they quoted me at around $700 for repairs. Since it's intermittent, I'm not confident that's the fix and started seeing that others are reporting it. I think it's an issue BMW needs to address from a safety perspective. If you don't act fast enough and move out of the way, the hatch will hit my head and that's not enough resistance for it to stop at that point. You must push back on it with your arms to get it to stop. Some won't have the strength to resist it and could get really hurt.

Summary

It appears that a component in the gear selector has failed to properly detect the gear selector position, specifically when it is in park. Even though the gear selector is in park and the parking brake is applied as indicated by lights and physically attempting to move the vehicle, there is a warning message to secure a vehicle with parking brake to prevent it from rolling. Therefore the functionality of this safety device, the warning message, has failed. The cost to repair this is extraordinary and will lead people to not have it repaired, unless it is repairable under warranty. Without repair, people will just ignore the message and then, if they were to actually leave the gear selector in neutral , have the potential for property damage or injury caused by the vehicle rolling. I believe this failure should be the subject of the recall.

Summary

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.

Summary

- Automatic transmission gearshifter, torsion spring. - The vehicle could roll when it is parked without engaging engine break and hit other vehicles and pedestrian. - Not confirmed by the dealer yet. The service visit is scheduled. However, on the Internet, many people complaining for $2,000-$3,000 repair estimates for $10 or less torsion spring breakage. - The problem started December 5, 2021. This is a product Liability and quality issue and consumers should be able to get the actual part repair not replace the whole thing.

Summary

Warning light appears: Secure Vehicle Against Rolling Error. I went online to see what the issue was and found that there were numerous complaints by BMW X1 owners who discovered that it was a $10 spring in the shifter that dealers were charging between $2,000 and $3,000 to repair. Many opted not to do the repair due to the excessive cost, a decision that could prove catastrophic for some. In the likely event that your agency is already aware of this problem, I am writing to add my name to the list of complaints in the hope that NHTSA investigates and perhaps orders a recall.

Summary

have a 2017 BMW X1, and have an issue with the back hatch closing on its own ( Auto Hatch Closing Feature). It can close on it's own when i walk behind it, sometimes when i am sitting on the back changing my golf shoes...I have to get out of the way before it hits me in the head. I have even tried to push up on the hatch after it starts closing and it will continue to close. It could easily close on a small child or animal and cause harm. This is the foot sensor, and it is too sensitive. IBM says they have no iDrive software ( or did not know about it) to disable this feature in the 2017 model. It is dangerous and annoying.

I have been complaining about roughness for quite some time. Especially when are is cold. I have a 2017 X1, less than 40k and the engine mount cracked BMW Service informed me this is an known issue within BMW. Not only x1 but X2 and some X3 models. Also said the others will crack within 10-20K miles I had made the concern known about the car almost or complete stalling out to the dealerships. Link below to the video. Part was thrown away on Saturday (I am told) No warning lamps, messages. Just some roughness tough who would think engine mount issue under 40K. Due to Covid car is out of warranty by 6mos as it wasn't driven as much as it would have been under normal times.
