2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport owner complaints

I have looked at blogs on the internet. This seems to be a recurring problem. The dashboard is now split on both sides of the passenger airbag. It cannot be repaired because it might affect the integrity of the airbag. This feels unsafe to me since I feel that the air bag could deploy at any time without impact.

Landrover is not notifying the owners of affected vehicles on the takata airbag recall. They say ' they are not having any problems' don't be concerned - they will notify owner when the have parts. This is taking way too long! *tr

Brought my car for an urgent airbag safety recall matter solicited by land rover and the NHTSA described as a matter that "can cause serious injury or death". Scheduled appointment two weeks in advance and was assured orally and in writing that "if required (the business will) provide a loaner vehicle for free". I arrived on time to my appointment and was told that no loaners are available. I have scheduled several appointments for today basing on the fact that I will have a vehicle, I took time off from work and I invested time and money to drive to solon for the safety recall appointment. I would like to receive a written apology from mr ralph lombardi or whoever scheduled this appointment and wasted my time and money. And I would like to know how is this matter going to be remedi

Dash board starting cracking perfectly around where the airbag is located in dashboard. My car is kept in covered garage to my house.

Passenger side dash is splitting on top over the air bag bracket, 3 separate splits. I am concerned air bag will deploy while driving and cause serious injury or death to front passenger. *tr

The ranger rover dealer (holmes european motors, 1221 e bert kouns industrial loop suite a, shreveport, la 71105, (318) 212-1300) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy.

The front right brake line split and all the break fluid drained out causing the brakes to fail. The car was towed to a land rover dealer. In speaking with the dealer, there is no service directive by lr to replace the brakelines at some point. I spoke to lr today and they told me that after warranty its the owners problem to monitor the car. The dealer also noted that another lr model, the sport, there is a maintenance directive to replace the brake hoses at 75,000 miles. Obviously, this is a very serious issue. Someone could have been injured or killed. This car has been under dealer care since it was purchased. Brake lines should not fail these days. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 land rover range rover sport. The contact stated the vehicle had an automatic air suspension system which malfunctioned and automatically lower the vehicle causing the speed of the vehicle to decrease dramatically. The vehicle was taken a dealer who advised him that the sensors, compressor, and wire harness had all been replaced six times. After having the vehicle repaired, the failure occurred again. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The Suspension system failed. I saw an car icon with two arrows on each side pointing down in orange color, indicating a problem with the Suspension, and then it felt like the car went down like a low-rider would. It was at night, my wife was driving and it was very scary since we didn't know what had just happened. We drove it about four miles back home and we felt every bump on the road and the tires were hitting the tire-well. Car still low to the ground if anyone wants to check it out. This happened on August 6th, 2025, We didn't take it to a dealership or mechanic because I don't think it's safe to drive so low to the ground. We foud through you tube that people have been comcomplaining about this issue for years now and nobody as done anything about this problem. I personally think i

The latest land rover / range rover has a red hexagon brake light with a yellow turn signal ring around it. When the brake light is on, it is very difficult to see the blinking turn signal. Isn't there supposed to be a minimum size for these lights? *tr

Fuel Tank Cover /Flange campaign does not include L320 2008 model..... I saw the rusted hole on the Fuel Tank Shield when I got the Oil changed, looked up the part WFN500021 and checked the recalls pending ...I wanted to find out if the same type of Flange was used in earlier models and why they were not included in recall?? Approved one is on August 12, 2021 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V635000 -Fuel Outlet Flange May Crack And Leak Fuel including 2010 onward L320.

The seatbelt will not engage and lock which renders the equipment inoperable and a safety liability.

7:30 am on lie (495) westbound from exit 49 to 41. All three lanes are bumper to bumper except the hov lane which looks like a ghost lane. My wife and I see this picture everyday as we ride together to work. Painfully, eventhough we're entitled to use this lane we cannot enter for a 5-mile stretch due to double solid line barrier. What is the rationale of such a barrier? It causes more traffic as it prevents the high occupancy vehicles to enter hov lane and adds more cars to bumper to bumper traffic. It discourages people from car pooling since reduces the effectiveness of the hov lanes. I think the hov lane should be free to enter from anywhere for hov's (as in most states, such as florida). If the barrier is a "must have" for lie, at least the entrances should be every a mile or two (

I leased car with custom wheels the wheels did not properly fit the car, the wheels were not the weight classification for the car and the dealer did not change door placard when they changed the wheels and one of the wheels came off while I was driving the dealer did not provide a lug wrench for the after market wheels the dealer refuses to cancel the contract. Called dealer about TPMS light came one block after I drove off and dealer said just keep driving. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 land rover range rover. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would jerk violently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on seven different occasions, where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and decided to send an engineer to inspect the vehicle. The engineer diagnosed that the rear axles were out of round and as a result, the axles and the drive shaft needed to be replaced. The remedy failed to repair the failure. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The failure mileage was 24,000 and the current mileage was 37,000.
