The coolant reservoir has a known defect well known by the dealership and the service department at land rover. The coolant reservoir has a level indicator built inside the reservoir which gets saturated with coolant and drops to the bottom of the reservoir. Then the low coolant light indicator comes on on the dash giving you a false reading even though the coolant is not low. For this the car owner will need to replace the coolant reservoir which cost over $200 in parts plus labor. The level indicator cost is probable under $5 dollars, but it's built in and unable to replace just that. I think this is poorly built by the manufacturer or is poorly built this way for consumers having to spend hundreds of dollars in parts and labor.

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.

I noted that the rear spoiler consists of two main parts that are fastened together, however over time the two sections become separated. There does appear to be a current recall noted for this issue, however in the dealers initial notification it was indicated they would follow up with additional communication when they received the necessary parts for repair. Am concerned that the part could come off at any time while on the highway.

My 2010 land rover range rover sport is equipped with a keyless entry and push button start. While the key is inside the vehicle, as a safety feature, the vehicle can not be locked from the outside at all times. However, this safety feature malfunctioned today leaving my 2 year old son locked on the inside of the vehicle with my car key on the inside. This happened when I placed my son inside the vehicle and my purse(with my car key inside) and have to go to the other side of the vehicle to open the door for my 4 year old daughter. Upon opening the door, it was locked. All doors were locked while my key is inside the vehicle and there is no way that the doors can be locked from the outside while the key is inside.

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.
