Consumer Description

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.
