Power Train Problems of Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Had a recall. I wasn't available on the date or a week or so after the appointment date. An ex of mine that had no authority to take my range rover into the dealership for the recall to get fixed, used my driver's license to get a rental Land Rover to use while my range rover was supposedly being fixed for the leaking fuel tank recall. So, Land Rover didn't care that it wasn't me getting to drive a $70,000 Land Rover while mine was getting fixed for recall. I figure out what happened & where my vehicle was & got the rental back to me in order to go get my vehicle back. I got to take it home,2 days later transmission messed up wouldn't shift out of park,started over heating,& I had to pull it with a rope from the store back home to park it. When I looked under the vehicle cause I was trying to figure out why it was majorly overheating, I then realized the gas was just pouring out near the transmission pan, which is where the fuel line runs from the top of the gas tank. My recall was for the fuel tank leaking originally. Now, Land Rover refuses to fix this major safety hazard/defect, stating that the gas pouring out doesn't stem from the recall. Which is complete bullshit! nothing was wrong with my vehicle when I bought it only a few months before I received the notice about the recall. Now, I can't drive it & it's sitting at the dealership that did the recall & didn't fix it. They towed it 2 days ago to their shop & called me the next day saying that the fuel pouring out & overheating doesn't have anything to do with recall or what they've done. Which is a lie. So, now my car is sitting up at the dealership off of dfw airport & they are expecting me to pay to get it towed back home & that they aren't going to fix my vehicle that they have totally destroyed. I can't get anyone to talk to me or return my calls. I can't get anyone to help me with this. They just hang up or give me a hard time about it & are denying what they have caused for my vehicle. Please help me!.

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.

While driving vehicle suddenly started to rub or grind. I proceeded to get off highway and was left stranded! luckily this failure happened at a point of highway where I could exit! I believe a faulty transmission input shaft is the reason for the broken vehicle.

I was driving the car on March 11th 2022, at around 10pm when the car suddenly lost power, while driving in a rural area of interstate 5 in northern California when the vehicle lost power, I was unable to see anything at all and had to pull to the shoulder unsure of what was on the shoulder. Dash display stated "headlight detected" and the vehicle shut off. Everything was off including, power, lights, engine, and the vehicle was unresponsive for 30 minutes. After about 30 minutes, the car started up and I decided to drive it. Furthermore, after about 1. 5 miles the issue repeated and the car shut off again. Car was off for about 5 minutes, at this point I decided not to drive the car as I felt it was dangerous. The night of March 11th, the vehicle was towed to the nearest Land Rover/range rover dealership and was diagnosed on Monday the 14th. The dealership diagnosed the vehicle with a defective battery. The battery was replaced and I was assured that the technician was certain the issue is resolved, and they have experienced it with other Range Rover Sports in the past year. I picked up the vehicle on March 16, 2022. Today, March 19, 2022, while driving the vehicle around 1pm the vehicle, the dashboard displayed “headlight fault detected” and the vehicle was once again shut off, including all the electronics. I do not consider this incident to be as dangerous as it was during daylight and near my house. However, the earlier incidents were very hazardous as it occurred at night, with no vehicle lighting or street lighting in an unfamiliar area. I am not confident driving this vehicle at all, as it could lose power at any moment. Thankfully in this time, the vehicle was in a safe area, but this incident could certainly have happened in the middle of a turn, in an area with no shoulder, or in a construction zone. All of which would dramatically increase the risk of significant injury.

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".

Vehicle hesitates on accelerating from low speed. It is extremely dangerous and I have nearly been broadsided a number of times. From a rolling start at low speed, depressing the accelerator pedal has no effect. . It feels like an eternity until the engine comes to life. I would say at least two full seconds. And when it finally does come to life, it can be a neck-snapping shocking jolt that will cause passengers to scream. It is my belief that Jaguar Land Rover north America is aware of this issue but has not addressed it for 2018+ l494 Range Rover Sport's with the 5. 0l supercharged v8 engine. I have had the vehicle in at the dealer a number of times for this issue and they state that there is nothing wrong. This vehicle has 518hp and when the powertrain hesitates to respond to the accelerator pedal being depressed, it exacerbates an already very dangerous situation by ultimately slamming the car into gear in a very violent way. The powertrain / transmission is certainly not behaving normally. This is my 3rd Range Rover Sport with the 5. 0l v8 engine, and neither of my two prior vehicles experienced this phenomenon. It seems to be applicable to the 2018+ models only. This must be fixed by Jaguar Land Rover!.

Car jumped forward while coming to a stop. Almost hit a child crossing in the crosswalk. Also happened numerous times coming to a stop at the off ramp. Engine idles very rough, high pitch idle, and rpms surge up and down on their own. Dealer won’t believe us. They don’t want to use resources to fix what is covered by warranty. This car is a danger to drive. Has also stalled unexpectedly. Dealer only looks for software update and warning lights. We’ve never had a warning light and updates do absolutely nothing. Forums show others are experiencing the same thing. Dealer said they cannot spend that amount of time to find the problem. This is a liability and major safety issue that range rover needs to be addressed. Car has 9000 miles. Car shutters and bounces. Rpms unpredictable and car has idling issues. Please help -we don’t want to hit someone because the car unexpectedly lunges forward.

Within the first weeks of ownership failed to reengage the transmission after the eco feature turned off the engine.

The car has to be turned off and restarted to get the transmission to engage. This takes several seconds to do and creates a very dangerous situation. I have contacted the salesman at the dealership and he said he has heard this happen to others but they do not have a fix yet.
