Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Land Rover Range Rover Sport - part 2

In February 2024, my car overheated. There was a large coolant leak in valley from the water pump and outlet pipes and a secondary leak from rear crossover pipe as well. The water pump, water valve, and cooling hoses were replaced, as well as the failed outlet pip and cooling hoses. Coolant soaked belts were also replaced. In August 2024, my car overheated again. This time, while I was driving in the middle of the freeway. When I took it back, there was another leak from one of the cooling hoses, so it was replaced again. Just last week, my car overheated again. Again, it was another leaking component that was fixed under warranty. The auto shop I took it to reached out to the dealer, as it's been an issue well known for failure.

Vehicle safety and functionality concerns: 1. Steering issues: steering remains uncentered and unresponsive despite new tires and alignment at the dealership. Excessive steering margin, particularly dangerous in rainy conditions, leading to steering errors. 2. As the new generation Range Rover Sport in 2020, it has dual exhaust pipes, but only one side works. The dealer just said it was normal, but it is visually estimated that it will cause serious environmental pollution. 3. Lane keeping assistance malfunction: the feature is almost non-functional, failing to keep the vehicle in its lane even under clear weather and road conditions. 4. Self-closing door hazard: doors lack anti-pinch sensors, causing multiple finger injuries to family members, including a severe incident where a finger was pinched off. This poses a severe safety risk, especially for children.

I was informed by hennessey Land Rover that there is a "y" alen pipe in the coolant system that will most likely fail around 50,000 to 60,000 miles. The "y" piece is two pieces of pipe sandwiched together verses one solid piece. They are telling me that once the pipe fails all of the coolant will escape the engine block and will most likely seize the engine. They are not covering the cost to do the repair, around $4500. 00, and I find this unacceptable because they build the coolant system with a piece they know is faulty.

Engine failed at 43k miles. Rr would not take apart engine to identify failure. Local rr repair shop (elite rovers) claims they see 3-4 dead rr engines per week usually between 60k-80k miles. He thinks it’s a coolant component failure that damages the engine. This many failures per week is not normal. There seems to be a class action lawsuit over engine failure in the uk and australia—so this is not a small problem. My husband was driving the car when it happened and if on the freeway could have been seriously hurt. No warning, no engine light, no leaks…. Just locked up and died. 6 months later my neighbors rr engine also locked up and died. There are 6 dead engine rr at the dealer right now that people are abandoning because the cost to put a new engine in costs more than the value of the car or there are no engines available. Who can make jlr (manufacturer) take responsibility for this known issue that they are playing as if they dont know?.

Engine makes noise even after taking to service 3 times with no solution key remote operation stops working because of bad electronics.

The car vibrates a lot. I bought this car 2 months ago and it's my first Land Rover. I loved the car. I want to use it to cross the united states and then take it to europe. This year I want to do something different because I lost a son at the beginning of the year. I really need the car. I want to cross all of the united states by car. I need the car to be safe.

Driving on the 405 freeway with daughter and grandson the vehicle started slowing down with a low key battery message, it engine broke down. No smoke or overheating.

My vehicle as well received an electric fault message shortly before loosing all electrical power. When I say all I mean all as if someone removed the battery from the car. The issue that was described to me from the service department was the low voltage (12v) to high voltage (48v) I think DC to DC converter shorted out. They said this was the first device after the battery and contained all the battery saftey circuits. It allowed the lifo battery to reach zero volts and they didn't replace the battery afterwards. When this happened I lost all power steering, lights, ability to use the roadside assistance.

I was driving my 2015 Range Rover Sport, when a low battery symbol displayed on the dashboard. I drove 3 miles away to go to autozone to buy a new battery and as I parked the vehicle, I noticed smoke coming from the hood of the vehicle. My brother and I ran inside of autozone and asked them if they had a fire extinguisher because my car had a little fire on the driver’s side of the engine. I got aaa to tow my vehicle into the Land Rover dealership/maintenance repair shop. The repair specialist I’m assigned to (sam haidary) at the Land Rover location in freeport, long island NY, told me that the fire issue with the vehicle didn’t come from the alternator or the weak battery, so I did some research online because I personally know someone that went through this same issue (I. E. Range rover sport catching on fire with no warning) as I just went through. I came across this article that’s addressing the same exact issue (the engine catching fire) that happened to my 2015 Range Rover Sport. . Read more...

Component/system failure: the issue pertains to a timing chain failure malfunction, which has led to the disablement of the vehicle while driving. Yes, the affected component is available for inspection upon request. Based on additional information received this timing chain failure issue was raised and settled in a class action lawsuit that Jaguar agreed to pay for lessees of these models that all had a timing chain failure issue but the issues were not resolved with this vehicle. Safety concerns: the failure occurred while driving on highway 495, and the potential consequences could have been catastrophic. The vehicle's abrupt disablement in the middle of rush hour traffic in washington d. C. Posed an imminent risk of a near-fatal accident. A highway patrol officer had to intervene to redirect traffic and prevent other vehicles from crashing into the lane. This incident not only endangered the driver but also jeopardized the safety of countless other drivers on the road. It's crucial to highlight that such a failure could have been avoided with proper maintenance and early detection of the timing chain issue. The malfunction of the timing chain indeed poses risks, not only to your safety but potentially to others on the road as well. When crucial components fail unexpectedly, it can lead to hazardous situations such as sudden loss of power or control, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Confirmation by service centers: the problem has been diagnosed and confirmed by either a dealer or an independent service center. They have likely conducted thorough inspections to identify the root cause of the issue. Inspections: the vehicle or the faulty component was inspected at autotech DC by various parties.

On your database for car safety my old 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport supercharged isn't on there for a recall so when I took it to the dealer he said there are no recalls well I submitted the number for the 2006 Land Rover range rover excluding my VIN number this time and using the national database that you guys provided and found out that it has seven recalls and the guy at range rover dealership would not take care of it for me I am having a problem because they cannot be identified on your website but when you put in the code for the recall it comes up what am I to do?.

While driving on the freeway a low coolant notification came on. Minutes later we saw what we believed to be our engine in smoke. We made it to the side of the highway before the car became engulfed in steam. Car was towed to Land Rover rancho mirage. It was found that lower front coolant manifold had failed what caused the sudden release of steam. This caused engine to overheat and allow coolant to enter the lubrication jacket causing the oil to become contaminated resulting in full engine damage. The person we spoke with knew pretty quickly what happened. Online research shows this is a known problem with Land Rover Range Rover Sport and it has not been recalled. We were quoted 30k to replace engine. We got it replaced outside of dealership for 20k. This is a serious safety issue. I have videos of damage I can send in an email, it will not let me upload.

I had a 64,000 mile tune up on my vehicle upon picking up the car the tech mentioned I may want to replace start/stop switch as it “felt funny upon reprogramming the vehicle” I was given a written estimate and sent on my way in the vehicle. Driving on the highway 66mph heard a ding looked at dash to see a “start/stop switch fail” warning and the car went completely dead I had no blinker no hazards nothing thankfully I was in travel lane and there was a breakdown lane available to move into. My children and I were almost killed. Dealership claims they’ve never heard of this issue. I had never encountered any issues like this prior.

My family and I were driving home in my 2018 Range Rover Sport, which I purchased in 2019 from Land Rover of sudbury (massachusetts). A brief “coolant level low” warning flashed on the dashboard for less than a minute, then promptly went away and never flashed or displayed again. Minutes later, the car started shaking, forcing us to pull over onto the side of the massachusetts turnpike. The engine then immediately began smoking. The temperature gauge never went above the midpoint level, so we were quite confused about what the problem was. We had the car towed directly to Land Rover of sudbury. They informed me that the engine needed to be replaced. I find it unacceptable, and most importantly, unsafe, that the car would go from a “coolant level low” warning that lasted mere seconds before disappearing, to zero coolant and a catastrophic engine failure minutes later while driving on the massachusetts turnpike. This all happened only a few months after the vehicle had ostensibly been deemed to be in suitable repair by Land Rover of sudbury upon my re-taking possession of it following 6+ months in their service shop. I still have not received any answer whatsoever from the dealership as to what went wrong with my vehicle. I have serious concerns that this could be evidence of a more pervasive issue that could potentially affect other vehicles that are currently on the road. I also question whether the service performed to the vehicle at Land Rover of sudbury in 2023 was the cause of the issue. I question the sensors in the vehicle, as well as the communication to the dashboard, and I would like this fully investigated. Why would the coolant level low warning have gone off so quickly after it came on if there was no coolant? why would the temperature gauge on the dashboard not have elevated if the car was overheating? all of these questions lead me to the belief that something was wrong with the vehicle beyond what has been conveyed to me so far.

The car had a warning light in December “stop safely electrical fault detected” Land Rover dealership told me nothing was wrong, except I don’t drive enough & the battery was low. Eventually, the warning went away. This week, the warning light was back, along with additional warnings. The car literally shut down & quit working while it was running. I was sitting in a drive-through. I could not put it in park or drive. Extremely dangerous!!! I had to tow it to the dealership. Again we were told that I don’t drive the car enough. I’ve had it for 5 months and it only has 3000 miles. We refused to accept that as an answer. Eventually, they said there was an update needed. I still do not feel this car is safe.

The contact owns a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the coolant warning light illuminated, and the engine temperature gauge started to fluctuate. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the coolant outlet pipe was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Available for inspection. While driving on the highway within traffic at approximately 70mph, the vehicle abruptly began to vibrate and a rumbling/knocking noise emanated from the engine compartment. The vehicle lost acceleration and I was forced to pull over. Yes safety of myself and others was at risk - not only was I in traffic, but my family was in the vehicle. No warnings, indicators, or messages appeared. In 2016, Land Rover issued a special service message, ssm 72578 - crankshaft/crankshaft bearing concerns - 3. 0 tdv6 diesel engine. This message depicts the symptoms I experienced. The Land Rover service technicians stated the engine no longer turns and is seized.

Since I purchased this car new it has been problem after problem. Car now again is currently not running. It has been a nightmare and after further research there has been many complaints about this car. Please look into Land Rover it’s really a problem going on with them and their cars.

The contact owns a 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fuel. The brake, fuel, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank flange needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer stated that fuel was leaking in the front of vehicle near the engine. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number 21v635000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed that there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

The engine overheating light came on followed by coolant level low. There was a rattling sound coming from underneath, the car slowed down, and smoke came into the air vents in the car and was smoking under the hood when pulled over. I took my vehicle to the closest dealership, Honda, to assess and determine if it needed to be towed to Land Rover or if they could fix it. The day prior the coolant level low light came on, my husband filled the coolant and the light went off. When I was driving my car the next day the light came on along with the engine overheating, something was dripping from underneath when the vehicle was turned off.

The engine's cooling pipes melt leading to the cooling system failing. This then overheats the engine which leads to dangerous driving conditions. This has been a known issue in other range rover vins and also affects this one.

While driving home on the evening of June 27, 2023, a distance of about 15 miles, the low coolant light suddenly came on, and as we tried pulling over on the next freeway exit, the engine appeared to seize and cut out. It was difficult to brake and steer the car and we were nervous to get in an accident. We came to a rest off the freeway and then officers helped us push our car into a nearby auto zone. We left it there overnight to rest and when we came back the next day, the engine would not start. Had it towed to a nearby independent service center where they determined both engine heads had blown. The car is available for inspection. I have called the manufacturer to see if there were any recalls related to this and found a p055 recall for this model. The description in this recall is very similar to what we experienced.

Our engine locked up when a hose split under the water pump. I have talked to numerous people that their vehicles were damaged/affected the same way. The dealer says that we need to replace the entire engine (cost $24,000). I was also speaking to a dealer that said they know of potentially hundreds that were affected this way. This hose issue/concern should have been recalled and replaced before this major/costly damage to the engine. I feel that Land Rover should cover this damage/expense because they are aware that this is an issue/concern. I was told that when this hose splits that the engine overheats/locks up in just seconds.

The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brakes needed to be replaced. The contact received a second opinion from the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed that there was a coolant leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue but offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Car burned down started smoking from engine as I was driving on turnpike towards orlando, FL.
