SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle has started displaying an error message when parking stating to secure the vehicle against rolling. This is due to a very common issue with a spring in the shifter needing to be replaced. Based on what I have read, the spring issue is occurring in almost all 2016 and 2017 bmw x1's. This should be a recall and not a $3k repair bill.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I purchased the car used in September 2023. About three months ago got the following warning "Transmission : Secure Vehicle with Parking Brake when Stationary. Consult Service Center." The issue seems to be a Shiftlock solenoid selector Lever coil spring that was compromised. No accidents. This is triggering a warning every time upon tuyrning the vehicle on.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
ALERT STATING: SECURE VEHICLE AGAINST ROLLING. This is happening when I turn on the car and when I am trying to turn off the car. Nothing happening with the car at the moment but does prevent me from turning off the car at times. It raises a concern because I don't want the car rolling into another car, building or even a person. The side mirror on the driver's side also keeps readjusting on its own which has caused issues while driving by shifting from my blindside.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
"SECURE VEHICLE WITH PARKING BREAK" is the error msg. This is a VERY common problem with the F48 F49 2017 BMW X1. The replacement part cost around $10. It is a very small spring deep in the center console. Dealer estimates to fix it are $2500-$3500 due to the labor cost. The is a video which explains the issue and how to replace it yourself if you are able. Some post have indicated that BMWNA will pay but there is no official recall and I am not sure if it is standard practice for the Dealer to replace the problem. See video: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
There is a small, broken spring in my shift lever ($10 part) that makes the car think it cannot be put into park. This otherwise does not affect the operation of the vehicle, but every time I get in the car, I am greeted with a warning message to "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling" and "visit a service center". This failure is ubiquitous amongst F48 X1 cars; there are entire threads and 3rd party services to replace the small, cheap part, as opposed to a job BMW dealers try and sell you for over 2000$ to replace the entire shifter unit, which isn't the problem. A recall for this ridiculous part and design should be forced.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
During the parking of this vehicle (when you put the gearbox shifter in the P position), the iDrive system shows the following message: “Secure vehicle with parking brake when stationary. Have the problem checked by Service Partner.” This happens each and every time and also when the vehicle is parked on level ground. The error will remain even if the parking brake is applied. After turning on the engine again and putting the shifter either in R or D position, you click "OK" and the error goes away, until the next time you park it. I have found through one of the biggest BMW global forums - [XXX] that this issue is very common, and it seems that the problem most likely is either in weak design of gearbox shifter unit or in gearbox mechatronic unit and unfortunately it is common for BMW models F48, F39, F45 and F46. At the same time, BMW hasn’t announced any recall procedure, despite the fact that both of the units mentioned are quite expensive and definitely shouldn’t appear in modern cars. It also seems that the component that faults is a small spring deep inside the gear selector, that costs less than $10. There are videos on the process to replace that, but BMW dealers quote the complete replacement of the gear selector, for more than $2,000 and sometimes even up to $4,000 dollars. I feel there should be a recall. There is a law firm collecting signatures for a class action... [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The gear box failed, the battery failed and the coolant system leaked at the same time. It is at the dealer now who has confirmed these. A vehicle dashboard light came on before this occurred to tell me to engage the parking brake to prevent the car from rolling. Where I live, there are no hills so no reason to ever engage a parking brake and this dashboard light is meaningless. However, when I noticed this light, I made an appointment with the dealership and was able to drive the car there several days later. I thought it would not be a major issue but learned it was. The car has only 65,000 miles, and I have never been in an accident with this car. It is a safety issue, as it was a major problem with no effective warning and no real explanation in the owner's manual. I was fortunate to have brought the car in. I have not received the car back yet but the cost is substantial to repair.

Potential Consequences:
Getting "Secure vehicle against rolling" warning with Transmission Error - Contact Service Center. Dealer indicated it was a faulty spring/component in the gear shift. They do not replace the spring, but the entire gear shift with a quoted repair/labor cost of $2,700. It is a sensor problem where the car cannot recognize if it is in Park. This is a common defect in the 2017 BMW X1 that occurs suddenly. BMW should issue a recall or extended warranty repair. Please investigate.

Bmw Of North America, Llc
Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The following error message is displayed: "secure vehicle against rolling" this message is displayed due to a broken spring in the gear selector mechanism. Because of the broken spring, the car's computer cannot detect whether or not the gear selector is in park. This creates a safety hazard because the gear selector can be shifted into drive without having your foot on the brake. Note that a very large number of BMW owners have complained about this problem on social media and in the BMW message forum. This is clearly wide scale problem that stems from a faulty design and it creates a potential safety hazard.
