While inspecting my vehicle, I discovered a crack on the driver’s side steering knuckle. I’ve learned that NHTSA recall 24v-840 was issued for this exact issue on full-size range rovers. However, the same problem has occurred on my Range Rover Sport (l494), in the identical location. The affected part numbers are lr146347 (front left) and lr146346 (front right), which match those referenced in the existing recall. This is a serious safety concern—I am currently unable to drive the vehicle due to the risk. I’ve attached two photos for reference. One clearly shows a linear crack near the bolt. In the other, you can see the factory-applied green alignment marker is now offset, further indicating a structural failure. I am requesting that a case be opened to investigate including Range Rover Sport (l494) models in this recall. Nhtsa recall: 24v-840 transport canada recall: 2022668 - Land Rover.

My brother in law was driving my 2018 range rover (with only 47,000 miles) on the busy highway. Without any warning, the car lost power. He was able to swerve into breakdown lane (thankful he was in right lane). The car was smoking so badly he thought the car was going to explode into fire so he and his wife evacuated the car and sat a safe distance away. Car was towed to the range rover dealer where it was diagnosed. We were told the coolant manifold pipes under the supercharger ruptured causing what they believed was a catastrophic engine failure. We just joined a class action lawsuit over this issue alleging range rover has known about this dangerous situation in many of their cars for many years but they continue to market and sell the cars as "safe vehicles" without recalling the defective parts.

I was having suspension problems when I purchased the vehicle. Took into Land Rover proformed a suspension evaluation they made recommendations on what should be fixed I proformed the repairs but when I accelerated a hard knocking on the left side of the vehicle still happened I found a video on youtube about the staring knuckles failing on my 2014 and decided to check to see if mine had the problem I cleaned both staring knuckles and found the beginning of fracture cracks on both. I called Land Rover they said there were no recalls for my vehicle and I called corporate they said I need to bring it in for an inspection and there were no recalls for my vehicle. I will bring it in for inspection. But wanted to make NHTSA aware it's happening to my vehicle as well.

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.

Here's an improved version: --- while driving on m59, the main screen turned off unexpectedly. I exited the main road and pulled into a strip mall outside a costco.

After waiting for 5 minutes outside the car, I got back in and called the local dealer, Land Rover of troy, michigan. While on the phone, the car suddenly turned back on as they were answering. This incident happened yesterday, and I want to ensure there's a record of it because it was extremely dangerous. ---.

Less than 2 hours before my car completely shut down while driving, I received an error message stating "stop safely. Electrical fault detected. " I immediately reached out to the service department who told they didn't think the car would have any additional issues and that I should bring it to the shop on Monday (the incident happened on Saturday). While driving down an entrance ramp to a major highway, my car shut completely off leaving me with no steering, brakes, emergency brakes, hazards or anything--completely dead to the point where absolutely nothing worked. I had to do my best to steer a dead car down an entrance ramp and onto a grassy area on the side of the highway as to avoid being hit by another vehicle or crashing into a vehicle or tree. The safety of myself and my family was put at risk because the car completely shut down leaving no emergency equipment for me to use. I had cars behind me, in front of me, and beside me on a busy highway with a speed limit of 70 mph. I was also going down a ramp with no brakes. At first I thought it was the battery as did the dealership, then they suspected the generator, then they said it was the converter. They were able to produce the same problem after the generator was replaced and the car only ran for 15 minutes. Unfortunately we sold the car within 2 weeks of the incident because we no longer felt safe, and the manufacturer has been replacing one part at a time with the most important part being on back order with no indication of when it will arrive.

I am the owner of a 2018 Range Rover Sport. I bought the car about 11 months back from Land Rover of san antonio. It current has just over 9,000 miles. I along with my family was driving in houston on the busy ih-10 feeder lanes and when I attempted to turn left on gessner road, the steering of my car locked for a few seconds, and then came back to normal function - in that split second my car slipped into the next turn lane. Fortunately, the car turning in that lane was behind us, and so we avoided an accident. Right then I saw some versions of the following messages on the display: "forward alert not available" "aeb not available (or working)" "power steering function reduced. " right after the turn the steering again became impossible to move. I barely managed to maneuver my car into a strip center lot - it took an inordinate amount of power to turn the car and had to be done in multiple forward and reverse steps. Subsequently, I called the roadside assistance line, and they sent a flatbed to take the car to Land Rover houston central on old katy road. All of this happened around dinner time (7. 30/8pm) on Saturday, 5/11. The dealership, of course, was closed by then and so the car is parked there waiting for service to look at what happened. This is my wife's car and she generally transports our kids in it. I was incidentally driving it yesterday as we are going to a family event. This could have been a big deal if there was a car in the next lane to us. It's hard to understand how the car would lock it's basic functionality (steering) midway at a decent speed. I looked online and there is some reference to a safety recall (n227 (NHTSA 18v-625)) - not sure if this is related. We received no notification at least from anyone regarding any recall on our car.

My car has had four claims with range rover where the car suddenly stop while driving . Again my car came out of gear when I used the keyless remote the car begin to suddenly rollled.

I have police records and documentation . I just want the car repaired so that it's safe to drive for me and my family to ride in.

On the highway, merritt 15 in CT, the car completely shut down, no power brakes, steering, no ability to speed up. Engine shut off, all electrical shut off. Luckily I was going slow since my exit was coming up but I lost all ability to control the vehicle in a safe way and if I was going the highway speed it could have ended very badly.
