Consumer Description

Code 420106: Shiftlock Solenoid: selector wrongly not locked in park. 'Secure vehicle with parking brake when stationary' error message in I-drive. This is a very common issue with these vehicles, and BMW refused to help due to the labor cost involved. It's a $0.50 part and with labor the repair exceeds $2000. Essentially the vehicle does not realized if it is in park or not, and chimes at you to use the parking brake to prevent it from rolling. There are thousands of people affected by this very expensive manufacturer's defect.
