2015 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

I was driving on the highway and my turbo went out. My car has not been the same since. I’ve taken it to the deal many times but the engine is not the same and the car shakes when idol and does not properly accelerate

Rear driver side door opened while the vehicle was in motion. The original recall of this issue was reportedly completed in 2016 (this was prior to me owning the vehicle). The same door now has issues unlocking. The safety concern is the potential of my child in the backseat having an open door while the car is driving or being unable to open the door to get my child out of the car in an emergency. The problem of unlatching while in motion was part of previous recall and my local dealership confirmed the vehicle underwent the recall and correction on 02/25/2016. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms were identified prior to the issue. The door unlatching while in motion occurred one time in the summer of 2022. The inability to unlock and open the same door occurs several times per week without a known consistent pattern of when it may occur. This began in approximately November of 2022 and continues to occur.

Cooling notification not sufficient. Sensor location will not measure if coolant is low, therefor causing complete failure of engine of overheating without warning/error.

The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and turned off, the rear liftgate inadvertently opened, causing the alarm system to be activated. The contact disconnected the battery to deactivate the alarm system. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 100,100.

Blind spot system has not worked since automobile purchase in 02/27/2019. Dealer refuses to repair. Car was under a recall reference TSB No. Q470. All system inoperable.

The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and slowing down to merge into traffic, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the RPM revved however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated the "gear box fault" warning light was illuminated. The contact coasted off to the side of the road. The vehicle came to a stop and the contact turned off the vehicle. When the vehicle was restarted, the vehicle failed to shift into drive and instead remained in neutral. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the secondary battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced but the vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V614000 (Power Train). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000. The contact has stated that the vehicle is no longer in their possession.

Steering completely went on my car. Thankfully I was just backing out of the driveway. I had to have the car towed to the dealership b/c it was completely undrivabe. If I had been driving on the highway, I don't know what would have happened. Absolutely no warning lights came on. The issue is a bolt snapped due to corrosion. The Land Rover dealership told me they need to replace the steering gearbox. I have done some research and have found this issue has been recalled in the UK and Canada but not in the US. The dealer acknowledged this is a known issue but that it has not been recalled in US yet.

My 2015 Supercharged Range Rover Sport 5.0L V8 has unexpected rhythmic body movements while stationary. One side goes up and down then the other side goes up and down. This repeats every few seconds the whole ride, obviously more noticeable when stopped. You don't know if the dynamic system is working or not. It can push your car further in to the turn when it does it on a turn. If you are used to the dynamic system you may not be prepared for this issue especially since you don't know it is not working properly. This problem is reproducible, it does it every time I start my vehicle. There were no warning signs or lights that alert you that there is even an issue. It scares people who are not expecting the jolt when riding inside. More seriously it is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen because it is a tripping hazard when getting into the vehicle or out of the vehicle. It has the chance to raise up or down the moment you go to get in or raise and lower when stepping out. This is dangerous for anyone. Especially the handicap or elderly, they can easily miscalculate the height and cause them to lose balance, considering the whole car becomes unstable at the same time. There was already a Land Rover Technical bulletin posted about this possible issue with 2014-15.My car exhibits this exact problem. My car isn't within that vin range. However, it's doing the same thing thats listed here, maybe there are more vehicles involved than they originally thought? I have a video to share, contact me for it since I cant share on here. This is what the land rover technical bulletin said: Situation: A potential issue has been identified with the Dynamic Response valve block on certain 2014-2015 Range Rover Sport (L494) and Range Rover (L405) vehicles (5.0L S/C V8 only) within the listed VIN ranges. Unexpected body movements when the vehicle is stationary may be experienced due to the system self-test pulse resulting in pressure in the actuators which is normally isolate from them.

I agree with another poster about an issue. We experience this too with our 15' Range Rover Sport supercharged V8 5.0L Dynamic vehicle. There is a dangerous lag in the accelerator when starting from a stop, or a low speed turn. It happens every time I stop or when turning a corner. It is most dangerous when pulling out of a parking lot or cross street when oncoming traffic is coming and you need the car to respond accurately to your gas pedal input. Instead, the vehicle does nothing for 1-1. 5 seconds, then lurches forward. With a V8 510 HP engine thats quite a huge difference in jolt. It makes it extremely hard to gage appropriate pedal pressure. This creates a very dangerous situation when you commit to pull into traffic, hit the gas pedal, and the vehicle doesn't actually move until the delay. I'm sure it looks to on coming traffic as if I stalled in front of them. It's only noticeable at low speed or rolling stops.

The Land Rover dealership inspecting my vehicle for routine service, found that both front spindles (right and left) had significant fatigue cracks in the metal of the front spindle assembly. The dealership stated it was a critical safety issue, and the entire front spindle assembly could break off or detach from the car while driving. The dealership will not allow the car to be driven in this condition. This vehicle has only 38,350 miles on it, and it is exclusively used for commuting between home and work. It has never been used off-road or in any improper manner. The metal (aluminum) used to forge the factory spindle assembly is defective and will prematurely crack under the weight of the vehicle and poses an immediate and potentially fatal danger to the driver and occupants.
