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.

I am getting the same message as others before me: "Secure vehicle with parking brake when stopped. Consult service center." This occurs when I begin to engage the car and prior to exiting the car. It's been sending that message for a couple of months now.

I spilled coffee in the coffee cup holder, which is mounted in front of shifting mechanism and other controls. The coffee cup holders are not leak proof and before I could safely stop to clean up, the coffee leaked down into the console. This caused a short and now my car throws weird messages all the time.

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.

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.

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.

Gear selector issue that seems very common on all BMW X1 at similar intervals, but it is a faulty wire not an actual drive or safety issue. Car can’t seem to understand when gear is shifted to park and gives warning to engage parking brake.

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!

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.
