I was told by the Land Rover service manager shon torres that the steering columns on vehicles of this manufacturing year and the years surrounding it have often had issues where the steering column will stop recognizing the key. He went on to say that many times no keys can be reprogrammed to the steering column and at that point you would have to purchase a new dyeing column which costs around $10,000. This has happens once so far and I had to purchase 2 new keys and have them programmed. One day I drove the car to work and when I for in it to leave for the night, it would not do anything when I turned the key, not even would the lights come on. #2 is an ongoing issue within the same models that there is a leak that happens somewhere near the rear wiring when it rains it causes there to be a faulty connection to the radio/navigation system and causes a short in the ability of the radio to stay on and perform correctly. This is an issue that happens often. Sometimes several times in 15 minutes time and sometimes it will happen once in 15 minutes, but it always happens. The radio will cutoff and sometimes after a few minutes come back on, or it will stay off. If you turn the radio off manually it will all of a sudden pop back on. The dvd player does the same.

The steering column will drop while driving. It is a known problem and Land Rover wants $1,900 or more to replace the steering column. I was travelling on the interstate and the steering wheel suddenly dropped on my knees. When I lifted my leg to apply the brakes, it caused the steering wheel to turn, causing me to swerve into traffic. I immediately called the Land Rover dealership and they said they have had complaints but it is not on the recall list. This is very dangerous.

Grand-daughter was driving my Range Rover. While driving the steering wheel dropped down into her lap. Was able to brake and slowly turn wheel to pull off road. Steering column would telescope but not raise/lower. Turned vehicle off, restarted, kept trying adjustment lever until finally column retracted then raised to normal position.

The vehicle ignition lock is not accepting the key, after removing the ignition fuse the system is re-set and key will start vehicle and unlock steering wheel lock. Took vehicle to Land Rover service center and was told by service advisor that this is a "very common" problem with the model year 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. The only fix will be a replacement of entire steering column, after each shut off the ignition needs to be reset in order to start the vehicle. This temporary "fix" can result in sudden lock of the steering wheel while driving. So far I had 2 issues that the vehicle started but did not unlock the steering wheel lock.

The contact owns a 2004 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that the steering wheel became loose and fell into the contact's lap. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who advised that the steering column needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 95,400.

My vehicle was driving jst fine and then the next time I went to drive it it wouldnt start,the key would not turn. I called my dad over who is a mechanic andhe advised it was maybe the battery. I ended up calling on m roadside assistance to have my car towed to a shop to have it looked and and get fixed. The mechanic after a week told me about multiple sinarios it could be. After disconnecting the battery the car was able to start and I drove it to a differnt mechanic for a second opinion. This mechanic advised me to replace the ignigtion swithch and I did and now after two months the vechicle will still not start! so then I looked online searching for an answer and that when I discovered page after page of people online posting in forums looking for answers to the same issues with there 03 Range Rover ,with the exact same issues sounds mechanics telling them the same diagnosis! I have come to the conclusion after talking to Range Rover directlyy that after runniing my VIN the steering column had alrady been repaced before with the previous owner!. And on the forums people were saying that they did the same rrplacements of parts and it either worked in some cases or others the problem came back! so ive concluded that ranger rover should do a formal recall on this part. Because what if this problem happend while driving or while out on the highway you stop for gas and then your car will jst not start!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that the steering wheel column setting lever failed and caused the steering wheel to release, resting on the driver's lap while the vehicle was in motion. The failure was experienced several times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 120,000. Kmj.

To whom it may concern : my Range Rover was not working for about a month. Having said that, when I went to get it towed I couldn't get the key to turn. The key was locked! furthermore when the dealership did an inspection they said that the steering column module was internally faulty. Just like that, now I'm looking at a 5,000 job! not to mention that this is a major safety issue. In closing, I really think that this should be considered a recall item. I've done some research on this issue and find out that about (1 out of 5 ) Range Rover owners have had this same problem. I really feel that someone should be held accountable! especially when you're charging top dollar for a vehicle and it's not even deemed to be safe. Thanks.

After paying for this lemon 80k I put key in to drive and it won't turn. Took it to dealer they said it needed steering column. Cost 4200. Really! top of the line shit. Recall was on 2006 go figure. . . . . I'm very upset the corporate office couldn't do any thing. Mind u I just changed out air suspension the previous month. I will be writing to every online CO. About the unsatisfactory service from this truck. You pay for top of the line u get a broke down truck.

The contact owns a 2006 Land Rover Range Rover hse. The contact noticed that the steering wheel would remain stuck in an upward position intermittently, similar to NHTSA campaign id number: 08v248000 ( steering:column). The failure began six months ago. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that there was nothing that they could do. The manufacturer was informed and a complaint was filed. The manufacturer also advised the contact to take the vehicle to the local dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was 42,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.

The steering column, reach motor, is getting stuck. And I heard this isn't 1st complaint regarding, reach motor in 04 landrover Range Rover, hse.

No problems observed with the car. Suddenly the steering wheel became loose and fell down to a position where the bottom of the wheel was stuck between my legs. The tilt mechanism failed while the car was the moving and the wheel, although attached to the car, was forced down onto my legs. Steering wheel would no longer stay in a drivable position without $1300 replacement of steering column. This was a common problem with Range Rovers (it was easy to find many others online with a similar problem) and Land Rover had a recall on another part a year ago, which they deny had any impact on this. Spoke to dealer and Land Rover north America, no compensation was obtained, they were not interested in the fault. One dealer told me some customers had this problem multiple times and had the steering column replaced multiple times before 50,000 miles. Unacceptable on an $80,000 car. Dangerous.

The contact stated the steering wheel came loose and fell into the contact's lap while driving. He was able to manually raise the steering wheel up into the column and drive the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer discovered a plastic part on the steering column assembly broke. This part was replaced with a metal part. Also, the telescopic steering adjusted automatically. This caused the position of the steering wheel to change randomly while driving. The dealer attempted to correct the problem by reprogramming the software. No further repairs have been made at this time. Updated 1/23/2006 -.

While driving the steering column dropped in my lap!!!! car goes to dealer and they replaced broken steering column. I was told that they have had many cases of this. Nhtsa needs to hold lrna liable for this and make them fix this common problem before someone is killed. Between this and the differential issues someone is going to get hurt or killed. Forget about all the electrical problems these cars have.
