I recently experienced Sudden Unintended Acceleration while driving my BMW X1. While turning the vehicle to park in a spot, the vehicle suddenly took off and collided with a pillar. There were four separate incidents in my town alone (Charlottesville, VA) in recent months where a BMW SUV experienced this problem.

Error: Secure Vehicle Against Rolling. This just appeared on my dash 12/16/2022 while it was in park mode. I’ve done some research and found it’s just a small spring in the shifter that costs about $10.

Car displays a warning stating to ''secure vehicle with parking brake to prevent it from rolling away, Consult Service." This is a common issue with at least this model of vehicle and it's shared "sister" car the Mini cooper. The Mini cooper does have an "extended warranty" to cover the repair of the faulty $3.00 spring that malforms.

It displays a secure vehicle against rolling warning which is caused by a faulty gear selector assembly. After researching on the Internet and talking to the dealer repair specialist, this seems to be a common issue for this model and it should not have happened this early in the car (the car is only 7 yrs old and has very low mileage since it was not driven much during 3 years of covid).

Vehicle is showing a “secure vehicle against rolling” warning. Upon doing research this is a common problem with the BMW X1, a default spring in the gearbox, which breaks at around 20000-60000 miles. The repair is very expensive $1500-$2000 at a dealer for a $3.00 part.

Every time I am stepping in and out of the car, a warning message comes both on the panel and connected drive that mentions secure vehicle against rolling - pictures attached. This is safety feature and should be fixed by BMW through a recall; there are similar posts also on the internet that describes the same problem with BMW models.

Hello, my car keeps posting a message "Stop Your Car from Rolling" and I've learned that it's a simple spring that probably needs to be repaired. However, in order to repair a $3.00 spring, the dealer is trying to charge upwards of $3,000 to replace it. I really think this should be a recall for such a simple fix that should not be needed at all.

When putting the vehicle in park, I got an alert that said "secure car from rolling". I was unable to find this warning in the owner's manual but I found online that it is a frequent problem with this vehicle, usually around 40k miles. It's a broken spring in the shifter that requires that the entire center console be removed to be replaced but the part was $7.27 including shipping from China.

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: I had it in for other repairs and they quoted me at around $700 for repairs.

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.

My 2017 BMW X1 has a faulty gear selector torsion spring that triggers a “secure vehicle against rolling” warning. This is a known issue that MINI has acknowledged and extended warranty coverage for, despite using the same part. Many BMW owners are experiencing the same failure, which could lead to a rollaway risk if not addressed.
