41 Steering problem of the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 08/27/2024

It is becoming very apparent that the front, left and right steering knuckle on these cars are failing due to cracks forming and in some instances the wheel breaking free from the car. This is a death trap for the cars affected and Range Rover needs to step up in the u. S. , like they did in the uk and recall these and have them replaced. Thank you.

42 Steering problem of the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 08/16/2024

I was made aware of a potential issue with my vehicles steering knuckle breaking where it connects to the upper control arm. I was also informed that Land Rover has done a recall in the uk for this same issue. I checked my vehicle and it does indeed hav a crack in the steering knuckle. This could have caused a catastrophic issue if it had broken completely at any road speed. This needs to be evaluated as soon as possible, before anyone dies.

43 Steering problem of the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 08/15/2024

The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v840000 (steering); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.

44 Steering problem of the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 07/10/2024

The right front suspension knuckle cracked and separated from the upper control arm and when the knuckle cracked it damaged the right front axle, right front strut and height sensor. Bear valley service (Land Rover specialists) replaced the right front suspension, knuckle, control arm, axle, air spring and height sensor. Fortunately it happened while backing out of my driveway/turning into the street and not while I was driving on the interstate, it could’ve been catastrophic. Also fortunate that it didn’t happen the night before while driving on the interstate. The vehicle was not inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance company. I found out about the NHTSA recall number 24v-840 on 12/11/24 so I took my 2015 Range Rover to Land Rover in atlanta, GA that day. They did not inspect the vehicle, they stated they were waiting on more information regarding the recall. No warnings whatsoever.

45 Steering problem of the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 06/01/2024

My 2015 Range Rover had a catastrophic failure of the driver side steering knuckle while underway. This caused me to lose control of the vehicle and the wheel almost fell off the car. Fortunately, I was going less than 30 mph. The failure was caused by the regular application of brakes approaching an intersection. Without the support of the steering knuckle the wheel has no support and the steering and braking are compromised. The vehicle is currently at the landrover dealership in bedford nh and has been inspected and the repair is estimated to cost 7900. An additional 3000 to replace the passenger side steering knuckle as well. There were no warning lamps or signs of the failure prior to the incident. The car has very low mileage for age and is exceptionally well maintained. Upon further investigation I discovered that hundreds of owners around the world and in the USA have experienced the same random failure on their 2015 model Range Rover. Both landrover canada and Land Rover uk have issued safety recalls(n759 recall number) for the same year and model of my vehicle. Land rover USA has not issued a recall and I think this is a major safety issue for this vehicle. The NHTSA should look into this. Clearly there was a bad batch of parts in the 2015 year and they have subsequently redesigned the parts. I've uploaded a couple of example letters for the International recalls. Yes the part is available for inspection or you can google it and see 100s of similar failures.

46 Steering problem of the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 04/29/2024

As I was backing out my driveway I heard a loud pop noise and then noticed that my front drivers side tire has collapsed making the car un-driveable. Had I been driving at high speed it could have resulted in a dangerous life threatening situation. It was towed to the dealer for inspection. There I was told that Range Rover in canada and the uk had been recalled for the same malfunction. My Range Rover has only been service by an authorized dealer and was at low mileage for the year of the car. Never had anyone who inspected or did work on the car saw any evidence that something was ready to break. It has since been repaired at a cost of $8031. 68. I reported to Land Rover north America they have declined to recognize any fault on their end and did not provide any assistance for the repair when they have seen this in other countries on my same model and year. Here is the canadian recall #n759 for steering knuckle collapsed.

52 Steering problem of the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 11/15/2021

In December 2020, this vehicle had been parked for approximately 30 minutes; after starting the vehicle, the "power steering electronic assist" light came on; there was no power steering available and it was almost impossible to steer the car. The car was towed to the Land Rover dealer; after 2-3 weeks, the repair was completed. They had to replace a wiring harness to the electronic power steering. We were never told why the harness failed. On November 15, 2021, the same issue occurred. The car had been parked for about an hour. Upon starting, the "power steering electronic assist" light came on again. Again, it was almost impossible to steer the car. Again, it was towed to the Land Rover dealer. Today, November 19, 2021 I was shown the problem with the wiring harness. Apparently, mice had chewed through the plastic wiring harness conduit and then into six wires of the harness itself. Since damage wasn't as bad as it was the previous year, the service department was able to splice wires back together to make the vehicle drivable again. This vehicle is parked outside in a parking lot 7, 365 days per year. There is no garage available. While we were lucky that the failure occurred when the vehicle was parked, we shutter to wonder what would have happened if the power steering had failed on the open highway traveling 70 mph, or even in town at slower speeds. It is almost physically impossible to turn the wheels without power steering. I believe Land Rover should come up with a beefier wiring harness that is less subject to failure because of mice or other rodents who may chew on the wiring. I am submitting this although I am not the vehicle's owner. I am his son-in-law. He decided to sell the vehicle immediately after the second incident due to the unreliability of the vehicle.

59 Steering problem of the 2002 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 08/01/2015

While driving at 60 mph on the maryland 495 beltway (highway) my vehicle (steering wheel, body of vehicle, myself, etc. ) just started shaking violently and extremely hard to control. I was horrified and at the same time I had to look out for other vehicles on all sides while I slowed down to 45 mph. Now, down the road and with very light traffic near, I started increasing my speed to 55-60 to see what was wrong and around 60 mph the violent shaking started. I reduced the speed to 45 mph. While trying to diagnose, I started to increase my speed and at 55 mph I hit a bump in the road and it started shaking violently again. I've taken my vehicle to the rr dealer several times for service and explained the problem at those speeds and was told, I just needed an alignment. Needless to say that was not solution. I conducted research online and saw that there were other rr folks with the same complaint. Following their lead, I purchased and replaced the drag link and track rod & stabilizer shock. Just a temporary fix, because I have the same violent shaking problem at 55-60 mph and going over bumps at that speed. Most of my driving is through city streets and not on the maryland 495 beltway. It's been close to 2 years and I no longer take the beltway because I have to drive in the slow lane and set my cruise control at 50 to avoid the violent shaking. Nobody at either rr dealer I called or visited seems to know what the problem is. I hope this issue can be reviewed ASAP. Thank you for your time and attention!.

69 Steering problem of the 1998 Land Rover Range Rover

Failure Date: 02/15/2003

My husband and I purchased a 1998, Land Rover Range Rover 4. 6 hse (VIN# salpv1440wa402325) from frankel Land Rover hunt valley on September, 06, 2002. We purchased the Range Rover Land Rover certified, which came with a 12-month/ 12,000 mile warranty after additional inspection work was done above and beyond a maryland state inspection. After having the Range Rover for nearly five months, it incurred major problems. The Range Rover broke down twice within a week. Below is a summary of each incident. Incident #1 February 5, 2003 at about 8pm I was driving the Range Rover, heading home when the first problems arouse. The Range Rover was over heating. I noticed the temperature gauge read hot. Then the steering became very hard. When I pulled over, I noticed the Range Rover started smoking from under the hood. I then got out of the Range Rover and noticed something was dripping under the bottom of the truck. The Range Rover was towed to the dealer. It was assessed tha the thermostat was the problem. This service was completed 2/10/03. Incident #2 February 15, 2003 at about 2pm my husband was driving the Range Rover to work. While driving he noticed the Range Rover started to act funny. At which time he notified me to see if it was the same thing that occurred when the truck broke down the first time as he was pulling over, the Range Rover shut down completely. On Wednesday, February 19 the Range Rover was towed to the dealer. The next day, the dealership called for our permission to take the engine apart so that the warranty adjuster for apco, trent, could assess the damage. Trent made his assessment and then came to the conclusion that the damage was our fault. It was said that my husband didn?t pull over fast enough. They said they would not pay the cost for the entire engine, but will offer a contribution, which the dealership does not do. Sincerely, steve and donna jones 4150 windmill circle randallstown, maryland 21133 (410) 496-4896.
