- I purchased my car in October 2022 and I have had a coolant level low notification on my dashboard in December 2022. I then filled the coolant myself. - the warning notification showed up again after about 3 weeks in January 2023. I then took it to Land Rover frisco service and parts center on 1/25/2023 to get it get it inspected. They said they found 'turbo coolant inlet and outlet pipes leaking, replace turbo coolant inlet pipe and replace turbo outlet coolant pipe' (exact words from the service note). - however, the same issue came back again after about 6 months, when I call them back for repair - they said I will have to pay it out of my pocket since my warranty has run out. - I asked them how much the cost would be, and they said to diagnose they would charge me $260 and then whatever amount the repair service would cost. As I could not afford it, I started re-filling the coolant whenever the car is giving me the 'coolant low' warning sign. And I have been doing that for the past good year or so. - I now some vehicles with the same year and model have been re-called for the specific safety issue that I am experiencing, however my vehicle is not part of the re-call. - I called them Land Rover this morning to request if they can fix my car for free, and they said since this car is not part of the re-called cars, I will have to pay for the fix. - I strongly believe this car should be part of the re-call as well.

On Monday, October 28, 2024, while driving on [xxx] [xxx] from mckinney, TX, to irving, TX, a red oil can light appeared on my vehicle's dashboard. Shortly after, the car struggled to accelerate. I pulled over, and white smoke began coming through the dashboard vents. Noticing a strong smell, my daughter and I exited the vehicle. We observed fluid leaking on the ground and smoke intensifying. Soon after, flames engulfed the vehicle's undercarriage. The entire car was consumed by fire. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I took my range rover in for a coolant leak, was told there was a recall on a battery system, the recall was a software update to prevent that battery system from going offline. The system was already offline, and Land Rover north America refuses to honor the intent of the recall, and is refusing to cover the cost to replace that battery system. It only seems logical that if a recall is to prevent an issue from occurring yet the issue has already occurred, they should cover the cost to fix it. Notes form dealer below: recall - perform open recall # labor $0. 00 1. Unable to perform recall # n861 at this time due to becm being off line. Becm requires replacement beforerecall can be performed.

Notified of recall and that rear right door may open when vehicle is in motion. Took it in to Land Rover and Land Rover rejected and failed to complete and finish recall at Land Rover of lynnwood.

Faulty gearshift message when the gearshift works. Consistent message after reset.

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 gesture liftgate feature that is equipped will both open and close eratically while vehicle is in park and there is movement around the side and rear of the vehicle and there is no way to disable. This has resulted the liftgate opening when my daughter has walked behind the vehicle, almost striking her head; the liftgate closing numerous times on me, my wife, my daughter doing things like removing groceries from the vehicle or sitting in the back putting shoes on - several head strikes have resulted from the unintended closing; and the liftgate opening when parked in the garage while the garage is closed resulting in the liftgate being pinned into the garage causing damage to the garage and the liftgate.

You can lock the doors inside the vehicle or with the remote but the doors do not lock.

Land rover/range rover does not have remote start on the key fob, but instead proudly boasts of their incontrol app. "incontrol remote provides information on your vehicle and enables you to interact with it remotely. Compatible with most androidtm and apple ios® smartphones, this service allows you to lock/unlock the doors, remotely preheat/precool the vehicle using the climate control function and remote engine start, or find your Land Rover faster by using the beep and flash feature. " a quick look at the app reviews or an online google search of this product indicates this simply is not the case. The app is unreliable at best and unsafe at worst. It absolutely does not operate as marketed. The app is defective and Land Rover is well aware and has done nothing to correct this. I have been locked outside of my own range rover multiple times in various locations. Today, there was a winter gale warning of real feel 17 degrees. I started my car about five minutes before exiting. The app showed that my car started. When I was about one minute from my car, I opened the app to unlock my vehicle. It said it was unlocked. I physically saw the side mirrors on my car close and heard the doors lock as I was approaching. The app continued to show that my car was running and unlocked. I stood outside the car in the freezing weather (note that I could see my key fob inside the car) waiting for the app to refresh so I could unlock. I took a screenshot of the app indicting my car was unlocked and a video of me trying the handle on my car at this time. After approximately 5 minutes, I started walking back to the restaurant. The continued to try to use the app. I emailed remote@jaguarlandrover. Com. Finally, it showed that I could lock my already locked car, so I locked it and unlocked it. I walked back out. It was not unlocked. I called roadside assistance for help. She was in the process of filing for someone to come unlock my car, when I tried the app again 10 min later. It unloc.

Car started smoking from under front hood while driving, while pulling to a stop, smoke started flooded cabin with my son and grandchildren in the car. They all got out safely but then the front engine and car exploded in flames.

Passenger door would not open from inside or outside.

Our vehicle allows for the rear lift gate to be opened while the vehicle is in motion. Any person in the vehicle can press the rear lift gate button and it will open, even if driving down the road. Our loaner vehicles from Land Rover also allow this to occur. This is a major safety issue as cargo or pets could be ejected or jump from a moving vehicle if the driver or a passenger inadvertently press the rear lift gate button. There should be a modification that would prevent the rear lift gate from being able to be activated via this button while the vehicle is not in the park mode.

Upon making a turn the driver side door unexpectedly opened. At this point it seems the latch is malfunctioning as the door will not stay closed.

The lock mechanism on the passenger side door stopped working, the door will not open from the inside or outside. I have searched online and this seems to be a very common occurrence with this auto maker. The car was not hit, has not been damaged. I parked and my daughter was not able to get out of the vehicle, the door will unlatch and open about half an inch but then the soft close mechanism engages and will not allow the door to be opened any further and instead automatically closes the door. This is cause for concern because if I am driving and get hit on the driver side will be trapped in the car. Since this seems to be a very common issue with Land Rover it should be a safety recall.

The gear shift button randomly stuck and was not able to pop back out. Reached out to numerous car repair shops that specialize in Range Rover Sports and they informed that should be a recall issue since they do get a lot of calls regarding this issue. They said it’s a software issue and that the dealer should fix this issue.

Spoiler may detach from the car while driving, creating the risk of a crash, as my spoiler is detached. The top of the spoiler and bottom portion of the spoiler has an open gap between the top and bottom portions of the spoiler. The bottom portion hangs and covers nearly half my rear view camera, obstructing my view when attempting to use the rear camera. The spoiler seems to have become much looser and bounces excessively while being driven. It does not feel safe to continue driving at this time, as I fear the spoiler will detach while in transit and cause harm to vehicles traveling behind my vehicle. My vehicle is currently at my local Land Rover for another recall at this time. Had it towed over.

Dear NHTSA, I am filing a complaint about a serious safety defect in my 2020 Range Rover Sport, VIN salwr2su1la724962, leased from Jaguar Land Rover north dade in miami, FL on July 15, 2020. The defective component is the engine control unit (ecu). On June 8, 2020, just 3 weeks before I leased the vehicle, the dealership replaced the ecu at only 18 miles due to a defect. However, they did not disclose this critical repair when representing the vehicle as "new. " I experienced persistent issues related to the faulty ecu including check engine lights, power loss, misfiring, and excessive oil consumption. Despite multiple repair attempts, the dealership failed to properly diagnose or fix the underlying defect. The faulty ecu caused complete engine failure at only 38,427 miles on March 2, 2022. The failed engine and ecu are available for inspection. Repair records confirm the pre-lease ecu replacement. An independent mechanic diagnosed the root cause as the defective ecu. This defect poses a severe safety risk of sudden engine stall or failure. There were warning signs the manufacturer and dealer failed to resolve. The dealership's misconduct in concealing the defect and leasing a defective vehicle caused me extensive damages that could justify punitive damages. I request NHTSA immediately investigate this defect to protect other range rover owners from these safety risks. Please contact me for any further information. (650) 797-8441 attached files: see exhibit c where the dealership replaced the faulty engine control unit ("ecu") - which is the brain of the engine. See exhibit 1: my letter pleading to the manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover north America, llc see exhibit b: all repair orders - same frequent issues "ecu".

I can be driving and the car will just cut off. The real danger was when I was on the freeway and I almost couldn't pull over to the side and a semi truck was behind me. That happened about 3 years ago. Also when I start the car and put it in reverse the parking brake warning light come on, that also started happening a couple years ago. The above happened again yesterday and the day before, October 9, 2021.

Hello, I have 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. 4 weeks ago I smell gas and I saw error code about gas cap. I purchased 2 gas cap and replaced it but I keep smelling gas. I took the car to shop and mechanic confirmed gas leak. I call landrover customer service and I talk to debbie and tiffany. I told them about upcoming gas leak recall and they told me they couldn't help me before official recall announcement. I took the car to landrover dealer in alexandria virginia and I talk to ash and he told me the same thing to wait until offical recall. I don't know why we wait until October 8, 2021 if gas leak is fire hazard. Nhtsa I really appreciate for your help and thank you for your time. Have a blessed day.

While I am in intersections driving, the car completely shuts off and I have to start the car back up for it to actually drive. It completely turns off while you’re driving. I have had several electrical issues with the car that have also been repaired. I’ve brought the car into the dealer service center over seven times and they have not been able to reproduce the issue of shutting off. I have installed a dash cam to record when it happens randomly. I reported to Land Rover corporate and they have not done anything over 8 months with this issue. I have two daughters and I’m concerned about getting into an accident with this car shutting off randomly. This has been occurring since I purchased the car in October 2020. Please help.

Incident 1 I purchase my vehicle from Jaguar Land Rover rosenthal chantilly va, a new Range Rover Sport( one of the top-line models of range rover 100k+) , and it’s just 5 months only 3000 miles. One day (Thursday, Jun 10) car suddenly stop in the middle of the road with a gearbox faulted message, I can’t move a car from the park to neutral or drive mode. The local sheriff had to call the towing guy to move a car from the road as it was in the middle of the road. I drop the car at worst Jaguar Land Rover rosenthal chantilly dealership on the east coast. Chantilly va ( based on my experience). I left a car on Thursday night in heavy rain, Friday morning I call them, visited the dealership to explain the problem, show the car to a service technician. There was problem with dealership but let’s ignore that & focus on car issue. I complain to corporate range rover, I am not sure what they did but just politely communicate with me. They said that they fix the recall and do something, in car report which does not describe anything than regular inspection. . They created case:[8000897250 second incident - on Jun 26, Saturday – around 2 pm issue happen again, I was driving loudoun county parkway north, going toward route 50 ( john mosby hwy ) from my home on freedom street.

At appx 115pm I had lunch at the millburn diner. I got into my vehicle at appx 2pm in the parking lot of the diner at 72 essex street in millburn NJ. I pressed the button to start my car. I looked back and shifted from park to reverse in motion. I slowly moved backwards in the vehicle and I experienced a sudden involuntary acceleration backwards and my vehicle was jolted by a telephone pole. I braked and went to put the car into drive to shift forward and the car suddenly accelerated forward involuntarily with speed. I instinctively tried to stop the car with the brakes and by pressing the park button to stop the vehicle. The vehicle ran into a metal railing guarding an outdoor dining area. There us a 3rd party witness to this sudden acceleration.

While driving on a city street the car just stops. I would have a full tank of gas and the gage reads empty. In addition all lights on the dash board go on. The car had to be flat bedded many times. I have no documentation because the car was once again flat bedded into service currently , and all paperwork is in the car.

This car does not have a spare tire. I was unable to get a flat tire repaired in the dark of the night after hitting a pot hole. This is a safety concern and I don't understand why any car would be allowed on the road without a spare tire!.

Air bag light turn on on 06/15/2020 the car started leaking alot of fuel when I wan on the highway and a light turn on restricted services.

This is the second time I have reported. That the doors open while driving down interstate. This is huge safety hazard. Dealership sent me a recall in 2019. But, now they said I had to pay $675 for it ! this isnt right. When there is a recall. And I already paid some on the last time the doors came open.

Was stationary with my foot on the brake at a stop light. Truck accelerated while my foot was on the brake and jerked the vehicle forward. This was the second time this has happened.
