2016 BMW X1 UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Warning - Transmission: Secure vehicle with parking brake when stopped.

I took my car to the dealer after I started to get an error message saying that I needed to put the parking brake on to prevent rolling. It was very stressful driving the car while this error message was in place. When I took it took the dealer, I was charged $200 for a diagnostic and was told there's nothing operationally wrong with the car but the sensor can't tell that the car is in park and is giving me this error message. I was quoted over $2,500 to fix this--replacing the entire gear shift assembly apparently because there is a broken spring somewhere in the system. This absolutely should be a recall issue. It's ridiculous that owners should be required to spend so much money to get this fixed just to get peace of mind and feel assured that the vehicle we're driving is safe. I have gotten all required and suggested maintenance religiously and promptly, but this one is a tough pill to swallow. BMW should do the right thing and recall vehicles to correct this. If they're not willing to do this voluntarily, they should be forced to do so. Thank you very much for looking into this. My car is available for inspection and I'm happy to provide photos or anything else you may need.

there's an error appearing in the main screen stating "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling"

Unknown, design fault! I’m having an issue with the warning light saying Secure Vehicle from Rolling every time I turn on/off my car. My main menu or radio doesn’t appear until I confirm notice about the parking brake. There were no warnings before this it just toned and has been consistent every time. The dealer says it may be a small spring in the gear box, while the gears are working good.

At 44,000 miles, I began getting the error code "secure vehicle against rolling" every time I started the engine. Took car in to local dealership who advised I needed to have the gear shift assembly replaced as the car could roll even when placed in park. Out of fear that the car could roll and cause damage to myself or others, I requested they order the part immediately. After doing some research online, I learned that this has been a problem with certain BMW's and mini coopers since at least 2014. I do not understand why BMW has not resolved this issue and issued a recall or at least agreed to cover the cost of repair once the problem is detected. I contacted BMW corporate who replied no recall had been issued and they would not cover the cost of 2090.36 I paid for the repair.

The BMW's display showed "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling". We took the car to the BMW dealership and they repaired the issue with a complete gear selector display assembly. We are concerned that this is a safety issue and we understand this may be a common problem with BMW. The vehicle in question had only 22,669 miles on the odometer when repaired.

Selector lever failed causing a warning message to appear on the screen. Dealership is reviewing the damage and the cost is not under the warranty.

The sunroof cover fell on my daughter while driving. It is made out of black material. We went straight to the dealership, they said that the blade was blade was broken. Thankfully she was on a familiar road near our house and was able to pull over. However, if this had happened on a interstate, it would result in a serious accident. I strongly believe it’s a defected product and should be recalled. We have been bringing the car to a dealership every 10k miles for full inspection, so this kind of dangerous situation does not occur, but it did.

We have a warning that says "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling when stopped. Consult service center." I learned online that this warning is common and that it occurs due to the malfunction of an $8 spring but BMW charges $3,000 to $4,000 to replace it. BMW should issue a recall if this is a common safety issue.

Moon roof fabric gets loose and falls into the car, causing it to block drivers view.

Use car once every couple of weeks. Pressed button to retract glass panoramic roof/black liner and after it was about 2/3 of way back I heard a clicking noise, then ripping noise. Stopped retraction and saw the front of liner askew, left side having retracted more than right. Liner can not be extracted. Not covered by our extended warranty. Aside from the performance failure, this means car interior will overheat when summer comes.

The Panoramic Sunroof Shade Blind is sagging for no reason and I am concerned that it would suddenly fall off completely due to the wind or other conditions during driving, which could block my line of sight or lead to accidents. This has been confirmed by the dealer which recommended to replace the shade, that is not covered under CPO warranty and would cost around $1,900. There were no warning lamps prior to the failure.

The headliner of my panoramic roof has come undone causing my driving view to become obstructed. I reached out to BMW USA who said that it will have to be replaced and will cost $3,118.95 to replace it. I feel as though this should be on the recall list as I am not the only person who has had an issue with the headliner coming undone.

The shade that covers the sunroof ripped and was hanging down covering the rear window. This happened while I was driving, so I looked in the rearview mirror and all of a sudden couldn't see anything. BMW says that this is not covered by warranty because it is cosmetic, but it seems like a safety issue to me. I know I am not the only one who has had this issue, which is why I am reporting it. Thank you

Without warning, the sunshade came loose on one side. Apparently it is a very common problem and repairs can be upwards of $2500. This has the potential to be very dangerous if the shade comes completely loose or detached. It can be seen hanging down when looking in the rear view mirror and obstructs the view. The problem needs to be addressed.

Opened sunroof shade back to see out of sunroof for a few hours. When I tried closing the sunroof shade it stops about a foot out and retracts backs. Seems to be stuck on one side and unsure as to why. Nothing happened it the few hours it was opened

THE LINER ON THE SUNROOF SEPARATED ON ONE SIDE AND IS SAGGING WHEN SUNROOF IS OPENED.

YESTERDAY (APRIL 18, 2021), WHILE I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY TO THE TOWN OF SILVERTHORNE, COLORADO, THE SUNROOF GLASS OF MY BMW X1 SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED INTO MY HEAD AND MY WIFE'S AND OF COURSE ALL OVER THE CAR. I WAS TRAVELLING ABOUT 50MPH AND SLOWING DOWN TO THE EXIT RAMP; THERE WAS NO VEHICLE AHEAD OF US. MY WIFE AND I SUSTAINED SOME SMALL CUTS AND I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A SENSATION OF A FOREIGN OBJECT IN MY EYES THAT SEEMS TO GO AWAY AND BACK AGAIN. NO OTHER INJURIES BEYOND THAT.

THE PANORAMIC SUNSHADE IS SAGGING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT HAS COME OFF THE TRACK OR ROLLER. I'VE READ THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BMW,S AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

THE LINER ON THE SUNROOF SEPARATED ON ONE SIDE AND IS SAGGING CAUSING OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW WHEN SUN ROOF IS OPEN

ADHESIVE ON THE SUNROOF VISOR SHADE COMES UNGLUED AND VISOR SAGS, IMPAIRING DRIVER VISION.

THE PANORAMIC SHADE THAT SHADES THE SUNROOF FROM THE PASSENGERS IS DIPPING DOWN ON ONE SIDE. WE HAVE NOT DRAWN BACK THIS SHADE MUCH BUT IT HAS STARTED TO SAG ON RIGHT SIDE BECAUSE THE ADHESIVE THAT KEEPS IT IN PLACE IS USELESS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I'VE HEARD FOR THE BMW X SERIES.

WHILE DRIVING, I OPENED THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SHADE. ONE SIDE BUNCHED UP AND DID NOT RETRACT. AFTER CLOSING, ONE SIDE OF THE SHADE IS HANGING DOWN PARTIALLY BLOCKING THE VIEW.

FOUL, MUSTY ODOR COMES FROM A/C FOR THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES AFTER STARTING UP. CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTH IMPACT OF MOLD GROWING IN A/C SYSTEM.

I WENT TO OPEN MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF SHADE AND IT COMPLETELY CAME OFF THE TRACK ON ONE SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK BUT TURNED ON, AS I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR THE DAY.
