Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Land Rover Range Rover

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.

I experienced an unintended powered rollaway. Specifically, as I was reversing out of my garage, I noticed something on the ground so I put the vehicle in park to pick it up. When I exited the vehicle, I was standing in the wedge between the driver's seat and the open driver's door, and the car unexpectedly rolled in reverse. I did not hear or see any warnings at any time that alerted me that I was in any danger. I quickly tried to get back into the car to stop it (my 4-yr-old son was inside) and, when trying to get back in, I was pushed out, fell to the ground, and found myself fighting with the door and the tire coming toward my head and body. I stuck my right hand into the car to press the brake pedal with my hand. Ultimately, my right hand fell out of the car, and the car rolled over and crushed it. The driver's door hit my head, which caused a concussion and bleeding. The car dragged me from the garage into the driveway, causing tire burns and scrapes on my body. Ultimately, the car stopped when it rolled down the driveway and hit a post across the street. I was then transported to the hospital in an ambulance, where they ran multiple tests on my entire body and diagnosed my concussion and broken hand. I have since had to undergo reconstructive surgery on my right, dominant hand as the bones in my hand were crushed by the vehicle's tire.

Tl- the contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that when they attempt to come to a rolling stop, the vehicle would jerk and the rpms would revv up without the accelerator pedal being pressed. The contact stated that while idle at a stop sign, with the break pedal pressed, the vehicle suddenly revved up and jerked forward without warning. Also, while in park position, the vehicle would revv up without warning. The vehicle's main computer that controls many electrical system within the vehicle had frozen as well, causing the backup camera and sensors to intermittently fail. Dealership (Land Rover ventura located at 3190 perkin Ave, CA 93003 phone number 855-222-3243)) who rebooted a certain system within the vehicle (system unknown) and updated the software, however, the failure remained. The vehicle was returned another dealership (Jaguar mission viejo located at 28701 marguerite pkwy, mission viejo, CA 92692 phone number 949-392-7300) who diagnosed transmission control module needed to be replaced.

I have the 2014 Range Rover with the v6 supercharged gas engine. During a rolling start, such as rolling start to perform a u-turn or merging into a highway, the acceleration is delayed by at least 2 seconds, which is very dangerous. Especially during merging on to the freeway the 2 seconds acceleration lag could send false information to the other cars and made me almost crash for a few times. It should be a transmission or engine management software update to address this issue.

Driving on the road, with absolutely no warning, the vehicle suddenly lost any control of the drivetrain. Vehicle was left coasting in traffic, and the engine would rev without any influence on moving the SUV. The mechanic identified it as a known problem where the output shaft of the transmission strips the input shaft of the transfer case due to excessive fretting corrosion caused by insufficient lubricant/protectant applied to the shafts at assembly. I also read about others experiencing the problem while driving in traffic (range rover forum posts). This initially left me in the middle of moving traffic with no way to move out of the way of oncoming traffic, as it has left others that have described the same sudden failure on the internet. The only remedy offered at the dealership is to replace the entire transmission and entire transfer case at a cost in excess of $13,000. 00.

09/06/18 I was stopped ,with my foot on the brake, waiting to turn left because there was oncoming traffic. Suddenly, while I still had my foot on the brake. My vehicle accelerated and I had to veer and swerve to miss oncoming traffic. 09/07/18 it was about 10:50 am and I was preparing to park next to a store. As I was attempting to park, again with my foot on the brake, my vehicle accelerated out of control and I was thrust up the curb, across a side walk and thru the store front. Even though my foot was on the brake, it wouldn't stop. There was significant damage to my vehicle and the store my airbag did not deploy. Suddenly the vehicle slowed on its own. It was placed on a tow truck and delivered to the h&h premier automotive in omaha. Land rover engineers and my insurance company are investigating my case number with Land Rover is 8000569280 I do have pictures if you email me I can attach them to that email. Please investigate this. I'm afraid Range Rover will not admit that there is a problem because it would be a major recall but someone is going to be killed if this continues.

I was driving at a speed of about 25mph on a city street and began to brake gently as I was approaching a red light. The distance between my car and the car in front of me at the time I began braking was over 3-cars-length, but not more than 4. This was not an abrupt stop. As I applied the brake I could feel it began to shudder and the car was not slowing down. I pressed the brake more firmly and while it did respond more so than before, the car was by no means slowing down at a fast enough rate considering how long I had been applying the brake and the fact that I was only traveling at 25mph to begin with. I felt a pulsating that became increasingly pronounced and eventually the brake felt as though it was locked in place and unresponsive to my application of further pressure. The car was slowing down but it was not doing so at the normal rate. It would have likely required 2-3 times the normal distance to come to a complete stop. However, the brakes were too ineffective to have reasonably anticipated (by a long shot) and I rear ended the car in front of me that had come to nearly a complete stop at that point. At the time of impact my car had only slowed down by at the most 70%. Both my car and the car I rear ended were totaled. At no time prior to or upon impact did any warning light or indicator appear on the car. Nothing forewarned me that my brakes were at all compromised. The car was totaled and dmv records will show all of that info. This is a serious problem that could be catastrophic if not investigated. Range rovers are extremely heavy vehicles which makes a breaking system failure even more dangerous than it already is. Land rover has denied any defects or other manufacturer faults. I was injured with permanent neck pain likely as a result of the airbags failure to deploy. And the passengers in the impacted vehicle sustained notable injuries as well.
