2024 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

On 27 July 2025, my 2024 Range Rover Sport, suffered a sudden and catastrophic engine fire while driving shortly after an overheating warning appeared. This occurred approximately two weeks after routine maintenance at a Land Rover dealership. My VIN is not listed in the current recall range, but the defect, symptoms, and safety hazard are identical to vehicles included. This strongly suggests either: 1. Incomplete VIN capture in the recall scope, or 2. A related but unaddressed defect with the same catastrophic consequences. The fire completely disabled the vehicle, placed my safety at extreme risk, and caused total loss. Given the life-threatening nature of this defect, I request NHTSA investigate to: * Expand Recall N908 to include my VIN and any similarly affected units, and * Require Land Rover to remedy and compensate impacted owners.

The contact owns a 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while activating the second row intelligent seat fold the contacts right arm had become trapped and pinned between the seat and the seat did not retract. The contact was unable to free the arm and police and EMS was called to the scene. The police officers was able to enter the vehicle and lift the second row seat and the contacts arm was freed. The contact sustained bruising to the arm and was treated at the scene. The manufacturer and local dealer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 9600.

On my 7 passenger RR when the button is pushed for the second row seat to move up to allow a passenger in the third row access, if the button is accidentally pressed to move the seat back into place, it will not automatically disengage if someone is stuck between the seat and vehicle frame. This happened to me. I moved the seat forward in order to lean into the third row to attach a booster seat. As I was leaning on the car frame to reach the 3rd row, my body somehow pressed the button that allows the second row seat to go back into position. I did not hear it moving back into place. I became stuck in between the seat and the car frame. I could not move and the seat would not release off my back. It was crushing me and my lung capacity was being compressed. I pushed with all my might for it to move off me and I could feel it compress my lungs further. I found a latch to pull but that did not release it. With half of my body inside the vehicle I could not reach the button that I was leaning on. I tried everything. Thank God I had my 6 yo grandson to help by climbing from the 3rd to 2nd row to push the button. Also, thank God, I'm a strong woman, former USMC, because if that had been a weaker person or a child I believe they would have been crushed. The vehicle can be inspected upon request and I have reported the incident to my dealership.

THE DRIVERS DOOR MOVES WITHIN THE OPENING OVER BUMPS AND UNEVEN SURFACES. THE WIND NOISE IS PREVELANT ON WINDY DAYS AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ON 4 OCCASIONS, I HAVE BROUGHT IT FOR SERVICE TO CORRECT THE ISSUES, WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A BRAND-NEW CAR AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR WILL RELEASE WHILE I AM DRIVING AND HURT SOMEONE OR POSSIBLY EVEN ME.

THIS VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH A FLAWED WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN WHEN THERE IS SALT ON THE ROAD BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER SNOW AND ICY WET CONDITIONS. THE FLUID LEAVES THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER AT THE END OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE PASSENGER WIPER LEAVES THE FLUID IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. ON THE RETURN STROKE OF THE WIPER IT PUSHES DOWN THE FLUID LEAVING THE WINDSHIELD STREAKED, WITH NO VISIBILITY TO DRIVE. I ASKED THE DEALERS TO FIX IT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS A DESIGN ISSUE. THE ONLY TIME I CAN USE THE WIPERS, IS WHEN IT RAINS. VISIBILITY IS NO GOOD, IF THE WINDSHIELD IS DIRTY AND YOU TRY TO CLEAN IT USING THE FLUID AND WIPING SYSTEM.

This four month old 2024 Range Rover LWB with Bosch brakes experienced a sudden and complete loss of braking capabilities. When the driver went to brake and while turning into a parking stall, the brake pedal was not in its usual position and did not work. It was stuck to or close to the floor mat and was unresponsive. The brake was not at the normal position springing back after having previously compressed it. The braking system failure happened at a low speed after a series of turns. The driver was unable to stop the vehicle and it crashed. The lack of braking capability occurred for multiple seconds while going into a parking space until the vehicle crashed. The driver attempted emergency measures when the vehicle’s brakes were unresponsive in a desperate attempt to do anything to stop the vehicle. That included potentially pushing the park button in the center console. After multiple seconds of the brakes not working and the driver attempting to take any measure to stop the vehicle and the vehicle extending onto a sidewalk past the parking lot, the driver accidentally hit the accelerator. The car was already off the roadway about to crash prior to the acceleration. The acceleration sped up the crash a second later. The car was totaled. There are multiple data and video evidence. The are numerous emails describing the incident in greater detail that can be provided. Some of the evidence was destroyed according to JLR as JLR states there is a designed pyrotechnic explosion that occurs post crash to dislodge the brake pedal to avoid entrapment. That does not explain the loss of braking system and unresponsiveness of the brake pedal prior to the crash. Range Rover and Progressive are conducting independent inspections. Range Rover claims that the brake system was never engaged and that the crash was user error. We believe Range Rover is attempting to whitewash the incident to avoid identifying a problem, costly repairs, claims, a recall, or a combination.

Here's an improved version: --- While driving on M59, the main screen turned off unexpectedly. I exited the main road and pulled into a strip mall outside a Costco. The vehicle then completely stopped and shut down. The hazard lights were not functioning, and I couldn't restart the vehicle. After waiting for 5 minutes outside the car, I got back in and called the local dealer, Land Rover of Troy, Michigan. While on the phone, the car suddenly turned back on as they were answering. This incident happened yesterday, and I want to ensure there's a record of it because it was extremely dangerous. ---

The contact owns a 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the contact became aware that the two-wheel drive-only message was displayed and traction warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.

On first occastions while driving at 60+ MPH on a busy highway, the vehicle beeped for a few seconds and the dashboard went blank, engine died, no brakes, no power steering. It was only a miracle that saved me from being hit at a high speed by other drivers. The dealer charged the battery and updated the SW. Approximately 5 weeks later, on the second occasion after driving 300 miles out of town, the same thing happened again. Luckily, I was on a local road and was able to get off the travel lanes. On both occasions, the vehicle was towed to a Land Rover Dealership. The vehicle remains at the dealership now for the past 10 days while they try to figure out the problem. The vehicle is less than 3 months with only 2600 miles. The Service Advisor at my local dealership told me that there have been several similar cases and that LR cannot seem to diagnose or fix the problem.

Was on the highway and there was a rumbling noise coming from under the car. It would only happen at highway speeds. (The dealer said this was normal and happened when he trest drive another car of the same model.) When driving at parking lot speeds and making sharp turns, the car would have a shudder and grinding noise. The car has 5,700 miles, and after taking it to the dealership, they said it needs a new transfer case. When they lifted the car, the part connecting the transfer case to the drivetrain was loose and would move when touched. And there is no ETA on the part. Now the car is undrivable, and there is no telling when it will be again.
