NHTSA Complaint #11565140 — 2017 BMW X1

There is a small, broken spring in my shift lever ($10 part) that makes the car think it cannot be put into park. This otherwise does not affect the operation of the vehicle, but every time I get in the car, I am greeted with a warning message to "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling" and "visit a service center". This failure is ubiquitous amongst F48 X1 cars; there are entire threads and 3rd party services to replace the small, cheap part, as opposed to a job BMW dealers try and sell you for over 2000$ to replace the entire shifter unit, which isn't the problem. A recall for this ridiculous part and design should be forced.
