First issue-this report - loss of power / electrical fault (4/10/26) on April 10, 2026, I backed out of a parking space into a drive lane in a commercial parking lot. As the vehicle was rolling, it suddenly lost power. I attempted to restart the vehicle, but it would not start. The vehicle continued rolling backward into the intersection. Two warning messages appeared on the dashboard -"stop safely/electrical fault detected" "stop safely – loss of drive". Photos attached. Because the vehicle could not be restarted or moved, it remained disabled in the intersection for approx two hours. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. When the vehicle was taken to the dealership, I was later told that no problem could be found. The dealership reportedly ran a computer diagnostic test & stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. They performed routine maintenance, charged more than $900, & returned the vehicle to me without identifying or repairing the cause of the loss-of-power event. Second issue – intermittent sensor failures - the vehicle's front & rear sensors operate intermittently. I scheduled a service appointment for may 20, 2026, to address this issue, but I was forced to cancel a I did not have transportation available. Third issue (reported to NHTSA. Gov) brake slaming/sudden stop (5/2/26) on 5/2/26, the vehicle experienced a brake slamming/sudden stop while I was driving through an intersection. Following this incident, I developed neck pain & headaches. The vehicle was towed to the dealership for a second time. During discussion with the dealership, I was informed that the April 10, 2026 service visit had been documented as relating to a "check engine" light. I want to make clear that the warning messages displayed during the April 10 incident were not a check-engine light. The messages displayed were: • "stop safely–electrical fault detected"• "stop safely–loss of drive" my research found reports of other rr owners experiencing the same issue.
There are two primary complaints on the vehicle since it was lease on may 26, 2025. (1) clunking metal on metal sound when the vehicle is in reverse as well as sharp right or left turn or general braking. The sound is most audible on the rear right side of the vehicle. This matter was reported > 3 times to the freeport landover dealership; the last visit was in October 2025. During the visit the techs claim not to hear any noise and the issue persists, even at time of this complaint. The vehicle has about 5,100 miles and has been in for service, since june11, 2025, July 2025, August 2025 and was held there until sept. 30, 2025. (2) reported brake issues as of June 2025, within 1 week of having the vehicle. September 2025, after two previous visits and the vehicle being held from 8/29/2025 through September 30, 2025, the front brakes were changed and again the squeaky brake issues is still happening every time it rains or snows or I get a car wash. It is evident this vehicle has defects since manufacturing. I had for 4. 5 years, the range rover 2020 evogue, which I traded in for this Range Rover Sport and had zero mechanical issues.
