2016 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT Complaints

The lock actuators in my vehicle (except for the driver door and tailgate) have all failed. It started when my 2016 Land Rover was at approximately 118,000 miles, with the rear driver side door failing first. Then in the last 30 days, the rear passenger side door and the front passenger side door fail to lock or get stuck locked. This causes several safety hazards to include the inability to egress from the vehicle in the case of an emergency. Additionally, I am obviously concerned about vehicle theft. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or other indicators of the issue prior to the failure, the locks just progressively stopped working. I haven't yet had the component inspected by anyone, but I am upset that my safety has been put in danger by these faulty systems and that I will now have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to get it fixed. It must be a frequent problem with these systems because some how three out of the five locks on my vehicle all went out over the course of two months on a relatively low mileage vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH or above, the vehicle started wobbling with contact almost losing control of the vehicle. The wobbling lasted less than a minute before the vehicle would regain normal stability and function. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE, SIX MONTHS APART, THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT SHEARS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR PART PASS THE CENTER HANGER BEARING NEAR 120KM/HR SPEED, THE VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE A TIRES BLEW OFF AND THE VEHICLE BECOME STRANDED. THERE WAS NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES, NO NOISES WHAT SO EVER OR ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM,IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF NO WHERE.THE INDEPENDANT SHOP WERE NOT ABLE TO CONDEMN ANY OTHER PART IN THE VEHICLE, NO CODES WERE PRESENT IN ANY MODULE, THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN DECEMBER 2020, 101000 KM MILEAGE,SECOND TIME IN JULY 2021,MILEAGE 105250 KM. THE DAMAGED THAT THE SECOND INCIDENT MADE WERE VERY SEVERE, BOTH DRIVESHAFTS FAILED FROM THE SAME SPOT, BOTH WERE DEALER PARTS. I HAVE PICTURES,VIDEOS,PHOTOS AND BOTH OLD PARTS.THE DEALER DECLINED THE WARRANTY ON THE PART TOO.

The door will not lock while in motion or at all. The intermittent problem has occurred twice while owning this vehicle. The driver can fall out during driving. The problem was reported to the dealership on three occasions and they could not find a solution they oiled the locking system and it sat overnight and in the morning they were able to shut it. No warnings at all. Similar recall on the Range Rover: Land Rover is recalling about 65,385 of its 2013-2016 Range Rover and 2014-2016 Range Rover Sport SUVs because doors that appear to be closed may not actually be latched, raising the risk that occupants could fall out, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

WHEN FILLING UP THE CAR WITH GAS.. THE GAS WILL NOT FLOW AT A FAST RATE. YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS VERY SLOW OR IT WILL OVER FLOW; THE PUMP WILL CUT OFF; OR IT WILL SPIT OUT GAS. THIS IS EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED; TURNED OFF AND NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE BEING USED. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT ANGLES ON THE NOZZLE BUT ITS THE SAME OR WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE ALSO TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS BUT NO LUCK. I HAVE REQUESTED TO GET THIS FIXED AND IT WAS TOLD TO ME ITS NOT ON RECALL. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS BEFORE. I BROUGHT MY CAR NEW IN AUGUST ON 2016.

THE EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. UPON DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, IT WAS THE TURBO CHARGER THAT WENT OUT. COMPUTER READ OUT WAS "TURBO BOOST BUILDING UP PRESSURE". THE MILEAGE WAS AT 47,000 MILES ONLY. I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND REPLACEMENT WAS $4825 NEW OR $3661 FOR REMANUFACTURED. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED OR WOULD FURTHER DAMAGE THE ENGINE. THE PRINTOUT ON MY RECEIPT READ "CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD (TURBO), INTERNAL FAULT SOLENOID REPLACED TURBO/CHARGER/EXHAUST MANIFOLD. REPLACED WASTEGATE SOLENOID."

THE REVERSE LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND 5 AMP FUSE. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE MIGHT BE WITH A FAULT IN THE REVERSE LIGHT SWITCH. THE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION.

IN FEBRUARY I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING OIL. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT HAS TWO HOLES IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID IT WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN LTB00909NAS1. CONSUMERS ARE BEING PUT AT RISK WITH OIL LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO ALL OVER THE CAR. AT NOT FAULT OF THE CONSUMER.

DOOR LATCH DOESN'T ENGAGE, DOOR OPENS FREELY WHILE DRIVING. 2ND TIME REPORTING, NO FEEDBACK! BRAND HAS A ISSUE. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND FIX. IT'S A MANUFACTURING FLAW

RECEIVED US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) NATIONAL HIGHWAY IMPORTANT RECALL THAT MAY AFFECT MY TIRES EMAIL TO ME FROM NHTSA
