Spare tire wheel - no longer holds air. The section of the wheel that holds the "bead" has corroded. I checked another owner's wheel and it had similar corrosion. I believe it is systemic. I tried to buy another spare tire wheel from Land Rover and it was backordered.
Safety recall n623: gasoline fuel tank flange assembly cracking why is this recall not showing when I enter my VIN number here? vehicle was towed back to house November 24th, 2021 after discovering it was leaking gas all over the walmart parking lot. I have been smelling gas inside the vehicle and on the outside passenger side of the vehicle for almost 2 months! I saw no visible evidence to prompt concern until November 24th. When I called aaa to have the car towed they asked me to call 911 to clear the car from “risk of explosion” before it could be towed. I have been trying to call the Land Rover dealership to get my car in for this repair and they can’t get me in until the end of January!?! how is this acceptable!? I’ve been driving this car around like this for two months. . Possibly longer. . With my toddler! and I’m being told by aaa, my mobile mechanic and this ‘safety recall letter’ that the car is at risk of explosion!? I have the “important safety recall” letter in my hands right now that outlines my exact issue and it literally says. . “there could be liquid fuel underneath the vehicle, which in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire. ” this is unacceptable! I don’t have a vehicle now. I can’t work. Not working isn’t an option. Not having a reliable and safe vehicle I can count on isn’t an option. I can’t get my car in for the necessary repairs in a timely manner. I’m just stuck. There is no ideal time for this issue to arise but right before christmas!? I can’t even think of the appropriate words to communicate the level of havoc and life f**kery this is causing. I’m literally here reporting this issue because of the letter I received and now I’m infuriated this recall isn’t even listed on y’all’s website. Who sends out an “important safety recall” letter that casually mentions the car could catch on fire and then just doesn’t put the recall into full effect!? what’s my next step? attorney. What’s y’all’s?.
Was in supermarket parking lot, about to put the car in park and car accelarated with full force on its own onto a fence in front of parking space.
Land rover recommends on the 2020 Range Rover Sport 50psi set point under "normal" setting for tires on 20" wheels. (see attached) tire manufacturer maximum pressure stated on tire is 51psi. (see attached) under normal driving conditions tires will heat up and rise above 51 psi creating dangerous and potentially deadly situations if tires blow out due to over inflation.
Upon starting my car, it automatically starts accelerating in parking. I have to wait for the engine to stop acceleration which takes around 40 seconds. Only then I can put the car in reverse or drive mode. The engine light stays on. Upon taking to dealership they were informed about the above problem. They did a diagnostic and stated that plugs need to be changed. I paid them $650. Now the engine light did not stay lit up and the acceleration problem was gone. After 16 weeks the problem came back and the car started accelerating upon startup, and the engine light came on. I took the car to the dealership and this time they said they car has a different problem. This time they stated the problem is with oil leaking. The invoice was $3600. I took the car to another shop for second opinion and was informed that there is a big hole in the hose. I checked online if there have been recalls due to hose leak problem. The internet shows recalls for 2014 Range Rover Sport models for holes in hoses. But when I enter my VIN number, no recalls show up. Self acceleration should be taken care of by Land Rover. Please assist me in this issue, as the dealership is trying to just rob me even after I got the problem fixed. The tpms light stays on in my car.
