2020 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

Windshield has water leaking into the inside of the car with water running out of the bottom of both front seat doors when it rains and now has severe condensation on the inside front windshield that is soaking wet. Water is pooling on the inside of both doors when opened. Very wet. Most likely a sealant fail

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. N785V2 [XXX] I CHECK MY VIN THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Upon having my tires balanced and aligned I was informed that my fuel tank is rusting out. I have included pictues below for reference, I have attempted to have the dealer and Land Rover replace the fuel tank but they refuse to do so even though there is a 6-year Corrosive Warranty in place.

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.

The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle shut off on the freeway and on the road twice. The vehicle was low on oil. There was white smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V040000 (Engine). The contact needed to add two quarts of oil within two months. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer on three occasions, where it was diagnosed and determined that there was no oil in the engine and that an oil change was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

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.

At approximately 39,000 miles, my 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar developed a coolant leak from the front lower crossover in the engine valley. A repair facility confirmed the issue and recommended replacement of the front upper and lower crossovers, water pump, and hoses. The repair estimate is $2,727. This problem is a known defect in other Jaguar Land Rover vehicles (crossover/elbow coolant leaks) that were subject to recalls and lawsuits, but my VIN is not currently included. The defect creates a serious safety risk: coolant leaks can cause sudden engine overheating, loss of power, or engine failure while driving, putting occupants and other drivers at risk. The issue has been diagnosed and confirmed by a service center. Prior to the diagnosis, I observed low coolant levels and warning messages. I believe this is part of a widespread defect affecting the 3.0L supercharged engine, and I urge NHTSA to investigate whether 2020 Velar vehicles should be included in recall coverage.

CAR STALLS TURNS OFF AT A COMPLETE STOP. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT TURN BACK ON YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON. AT THE TIME OF IT HAPPENING YOU HAVE NO LIGHTS SO IT MAKES IT EASY FOR SOMEONE TO REAR END YOU. IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC IT MIGHT KILL SOMEONE.

The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that the driver’s side seat belt failed to latch securely. The contact stated that the seat belt warning light was illuminated. The contact stated the failure was like NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V668000 (Seat Belts). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 39,100.

I am reporting a significant safety issue related to my 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport involving sunroof water intrusion that has caused serious electrical failures throughout the vehicle. Shortly after owning the vehicle, I began to notice water leaking from the sunroof area, which has now caused malfunctions in the electrical system. These include: •Unresponsive or erratic infotainment and dashboard displays •Malfunctioning electronic safety features •Water pooling near or inside the footwell •Warning lights and errors on the instrument panel •Intermittent failure of lights, power seats, and other electronic systems This defect poses a safety hazard because electrical components exposed to water may fail while the vehicle is in operation, possibly leading to loss of vehicle control, disabled safety systems (e.g., airbags or brakes), or electrical shorts that could result in a fire. Upon researching, I discovered that this is a known issue in multiple Land Rover and Range Rover models, including Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) issued in prior years. It appears to stem from poor drainage design or faulty sunroof seals, and the location of sensitive electronic modules beneath areas prone to leaks. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this issue to determine whether it qualifies for a recall, and to ensure Land Rover is held accountable for resolving what appears to be a widespread and dangerous design flaw. Please contact me for additional documentation, photos, or repair records. I am currently working with a dealership, and I may pursue action under New Jersey’s Lemon Law if this is not resolved.
