See attached document for complaint. Text from attached document: I am writing to express my profound concern and disappointment regarding safety recall n759, which affects my 2015 Range Rover. I received the initial recall notification in late 2024, detailing a serious safety risk: the potential for the front suspension upper knuckle joint to crack, leading to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. It has now been nine months since the initial alert, and there has been no follow-up communication regarding a solution or the availability of replacement parts. Multiple calls to your customer service department, and to my local dealership (Land Rover chantilly on 4120 auto ·park cir, chantilly, va 20151) have confirmed that no solution has been developed.

The right front suspension upper knuckle joint cracked. The left knuckle didn't crack, but was not in good working order.

While driving the vehicle in early February, I experienced a severe stability issue that caused the vehicle to nearly roll over while turning. The vehicle has since developed extreme wobbling, bouncing from left to right, especially when braking or turning. A loud crackling noise is present when making right turns. These symptoms are visibly apparent from outside the vehicle and severely affect steering and handling. I was transporting my wife in labor at the time of the near-rollover. We now have a newborn, and this vehicle poses a serious risk to my family's safety. The problem has been confirmed by both an independent technician and a Land Rover dealership. The dealership verified that the vehicle is subject to active safety recall n759, but no repair or remedy is available. Despite this, I was pressured to retrieve the vehicle, which I have done, but I refuse to drive it due to safety concerns. The vehicle is parked and available for inspection. Additional misconduct occurred at the dealership: I was threatened with storage charges and told the loaner vehicle I was issued would be reported stolen. The dealership charged my credit card $300 without authorization, despite the loaner agreement not permitting this under the circumstances. I was given no written notice or valid justification for these threats and charges. I believe I was targeted with discriminatory and biased treatment throughout this process. At no point was I offered a safe alternative or any definitive guidance. The manufacturer and the dealer have both failed to take responsibility, leaving my family vulnerable. I have documented all communication and behavior related to this case and am reporting this as a matter of safety, ethics, and federal recall mishandling.

The front suspension knuckle on my 2016 Range Rover developed a visible crack, which caused severe play in the steering and made the vehicle unsafe to drive. On even small bumps, the vehicle would suddenly and forcefully pull into other lanes, creating a serious hazard. My safety, my [xxx] child’s safety, and the safety of others on the road were clearly at risk. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Land Rover dealership on January 30, 2025, where the issue was diagnosed and confirmed. I was advised not to drive the vehicle due to the danger, and it has remained parked at the dealership since that day. This issue is part of an open safety recall, but there has been no repair, no replacement part, and no loaner or rental vehicle provided to date. The vehicle has been out of service for nearly five months. There were no dashboard warning lights related to the steering, but I did receive a suspension system error message before the diagnosis. Steering instability continued to worsen leading up to the appointment. The dealership inspected and documented the cracked knuckle, and the defective part remains in the vehicle, available for inspection if needed. I am submitting this complaint due to the extended delay in addressing a known safety defect, the lack of support from the manufacturer, and the serious danger this failure presents to drivers and others on the road. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Front steering knuckle was cracked, Land Rover hadn’t notified me of any issues. I found the recall online, nearest dealer is 4-5 hours away. Was afraid to drive with cracked part. I replaced steering knuckle on my own out of pocket to keep vehicle safe. Vehicle was not in any accident or injuries. Defect found and fixed before anything could happen. Called Land Rover and they said no resolution for fix and when there was I would receive a letter on how to get it repaired or get reimbursed for repairs I had done to fix. Recall was issued in November of 2024, now August of 2025 still no info from Land Rover and dealer I have been in touch with still has no information either. I purchased parts in mid December of 2024 and had a local repair shop install it on 1-14-2025. Old part was retained as instructed by dealer I have been working with. From my findings in several forums that have members in other countries, they have issued the same recall in europe and canada and most vehicles were repaired by being taken into the dealer. Dealer I have been in contact with reported back to me that they had no parts to repair and advised me to get fixed on my own for now.
