I am submitting this complaint regarding our Range Rover Sport HSE P400 due to ongoing mechanical issues and the unacceptable service experience we have encountered with Land Rover. We have brought our vehicle to the dealership approximately six times for the same recurring issue. The vehicle repeatedly displays battery warning lights, experiences starting issues, and ultimately will not start. Despite multiple visits and attempts to resolve the problem, Land Rover has yet to identify and permanently correct the underlying issue. Throughout these visits, we have been given different explanations and advised to pay for or address different repairs, including: Replacing the battery. Repairing a leaking pipe. Being informed that oil particles were found and that the oil filter had not be

My vehicle started showing a battery high voltage error light and was coming on and off at random times while driving. I reported this to the JLR dealership and they scheduled an appointment to have it serviced. Even though the vehicle was showing signs of battery issues which was an active known recall, they never checked it or mentioned it. They advised that I needed a main battery which cost me almost $1,000. As soon as I cranked the vehicle to leave, the light came on again. I went back inside to advise that it wasn’t the main battery because the light is still on. They advised that their loaner fleet was low and said it was safe to drive. They were going to schedule a second service the following week. I emailed them the next morning to advise that I was traveling for work at the end

Hit a car that pulled out in front of me at about 20mph and the airbags did not deploy and the sos button did not activate. Then I pushed it manually and it failed to make a call until 20 mins later after the police arrived. Vehicle was in motion in the city when looking at some other range rovers at the collision center it seemed like the airbags were not as sensitive as they should be.

A potential concern has been identified on specific vehicles within the above vehicle range. A concern has been identified on Ingenium I4 2.0L Petrol Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) engines where the coolant pump drive belt can become damaged leading to detachment or destruction. Where coolant pump drive is lost, this leads to a loss of coolant flow in the engine. The lack of coolant flow can cause the engine to rapidly overheat, and subsequently ruptures an engine mounted plastic elbow in the cooling circuit. If the coolant elbow is ruptured this leads to a coolant leak onto the turbocharger heatshield which may lead to a fire in the engine compartment which can propagate to the whole vehicle.

Land Rover/Range Rover does not have remote start on the key fob, but instead proudly boasts of their InControl App. "InControl Remote provides information on your vehicle and enables you to interact with it remotely. Compatible with most AndroidTM and Apple iOS smartphones, this service allows you to lock/unlock the doors, remotely preheat/precool the vehicle using the climate control function and remote engine start, or find your Land Rover faster by using the Beep and Flash feature." A quick look at the App reviews or an online google search of this product indicates this simply is not the case. The App is unreliable at best and unsafe at worst. It absolutely does not operate as marketed. The App is defective and Land Rover is well aware and has done nothing to correct this. I have bee
My vehicle is currently subject to NHTSA recall # 26V-248. Then I started getting a check engine light with codes P0A1F-96 and P0A7B which are directly related to the recall. I took the vehicle to a Land Rover dealership and was told they are unrelated. My vehicle has only 46,000 miles on it and I was told I needed a new MHEV lithium Ion battery and that I would have to pay for it out of pocket. These batteries should last well over 100K miles if not for the direct problems caused by the recall. Having to pay for this out of pocket rather than the dealership covering it seems completely unfair.

steering 1 complaint shown
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 finge

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.

Faulty code P0A7B and P0A1F for the Battery Energy Control Module BECM was diagnosed. Check engine light appeared and then car shut off at a light when attempting to press accelerator. Was told by dealer the part needed replacement instead of just a software update. A recall was shown in general for my year and type but not specifically for my vehicle. My vehicle should be included with this recall to replace the component.
brakes 1 complaint shown
I had not driven the vehicle for about a week. When I started it, there was a message on the dash about the hill descent malfunctioning. I put the vehicle in Reverse, and without pressing the accelerator, it was incredibly difficult to stop. Had I not been in my own driveway, this would have been very dangerous. I had the vehicle towed to a service center, and they confirmed that the auxiliary battery was not producing enough voltage and this caused the brakes to fail. After researching this online, I can see that it is a known design flaw experienced by many people, but it has not been resolved by Land Rover! If this battery had failed in a different scenario, I may have been unable to stop the vehicle with a crash resulting.
