2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

ROOF TRIM PIECE BLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HEARD A BANG NOISE ON MY ROOF AND WHEN I PULLED OVER I SAW MY PASSENGER ROOF TRIM STRIP HAD BLOWN OFF. WAS ONLY GOING 40 MPH.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT THERE IS A SKIPPING/GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER VEHICLE AROUND THE TRANSFER CASE. I'VE HAD THE FLUIDS FLUSHED BUT NOISE STILL REMAINS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN UNDER MORE TORQUE LIKE GOING UP A HILL.

SAFETY RECALL N335, RECALL WAS DONE AND DOOR STILL DOES NOT SHUT, AT TIMES OPENS WHEN DRIVING. IT DOES NOT SHUT WHEN ONE THINKS IT IS SHUT

THE CAR STARTED LEAKING GAS. APPARENTLY THE FUEL MODULE AND FUEL PUMP BROKE. IT LEAKED WHILE RUNNING.

THE DOORS UNLATCH AND OPEN WHILE DRIVING, YOU SEE THE LOCK LIGHT ON BUT THE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR TO MAKE IT TO YOUR DESTINATION THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS AND NO FIX TILL POSSIBLE THE END OF THIS MONTH HE SAID AND THAT'S NO GUARANTEE HE STATED!! WHAT ARE WE TO DO DRIVING VEHICLE WHERE THE DOORS SWING OPEN WHILE DRIVING?!?! I'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY WITH THIS TRUCK!!!

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH (INSIDE MY SUBDIVISION AS WAS ONLY LEAVING THE MY GARAGE TO COMMUTE INTO WORK) AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE LEFT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF. INITIALLY UNAWARE OF THIS (INSIDE LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON, NOR THE PASSENGER DASH HIGHLIGHTING ANY INFORMATION) I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, ONLY TO HAVE THE NOW OPEN DOOR SMASH INTO A BRICK COLUMN WHICH WAS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE RIGHT TO ASSESS WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND FOUND THAT THE DOOR WAS DENTED AND SCRATCHED BUT NOW THE DOOR LATCH WAS NOW ENGAGED AND THE DOOR NOT ABLE TO CLOSE. THANKFULLY MY 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER, WHO USUALLY SITS ON THIS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS NOT WITH ME. I AM EXTREMELY ALARMED AND CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR COULD BECOME OPENED BY ITSELF AND NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA DUE TO OTHERS HAVING HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THAT I TOO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND AM DOING MY BEST NOW TO WORK WITH LAND ROVER DIRECTLY TO ASSIST ME IN FIXING THE ISSUE, INCLUDING THE ROOT CAUSE AND BODY WORK. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE IS ALREADY SUGGESTING NO FAULT BY THE VEHICLE.

IN 2016, THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TESTED IT FOR A LEAK, DIDN'T FIND ONE, SO JUST TOPPED OFF THE FLUID. THREE MONTHS LATER, HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY DID A QUICK PRESSURE TEST AND DIDN'T FIND A LEAK. THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND AT ONE POINT, THE DEALER REPLACED A WATER PUMP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. STILL, THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, LOW ENGINE COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND MY ENGINE OVERHEATED RIGHT THEN, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT COST ME $3,400 TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE- LO AND BEHOLD, ALL OF THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED OUT. AFTER THOSE REPAIRS WERE DONE, I HAD THE CAR BACK FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,,,THEY SAID IT WAS AN O2 SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED. GOT CAR BACK- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. LONG STORY SHORT- NOW IT'S THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIR AND I AM NOW QUESTIONING IF THIS VEHICLE WAS EVER ROAD SAFE TO BEGIN WITH. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH REPLACING THE TIMING CHAIN AND SOME OTHER REPAIRS, WHICH LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA DID PAY HALF OF. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE ONE OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS AT LAND ROVER FRISCO SAID THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF ROVERS WITH THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT ON AND ALL THEY DO IS TOP OFF FLUID. I AM AFRAID THEY HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN WHAT THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING. BTW- LAND ROVER DALLAS IS WHO DID THE LATTER REPAIRS AND LAND ROVER FRISCO INITIALLY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP...WHICH WAS A WASTE OF MONEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAGUAR LAND ROVER OF THOUSAND OAKS (LOCATED AT 3601 AUTOMALL DR, THOUSAND OAKS, CA 91362, (805) 267-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FAILED WITH CODE B0020-13, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V093000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,959.

CAR ABRUPTLY SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. GEAR WILL NOT MOVE TO PROPER GEAR ONCE THIS OCCURS. CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS LOST.

WHEN STATIONARY, BACKING UP, AND EVEN DRIVING THE COMPUTER SCREEN LOCKS AND PARKING AID ALERT, CAMERAS UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DEALER. WARNING COMES ON PREVENTING THE ABILITY TO SEE BLINDSPOTS WHEN BACKING UP THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE BY TURNING AND LOOKING ALONE OR USING MIRROR. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY AND SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN DONE. HOWEVER THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. I CONTACTED LANDROVER AND THEY STATED THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND NO CODES AS TO WHY IT HAPPENS ARE ABLE TO BE STORED ON THIS MODEL AS IT WAS NOT MADE FOR THIS, HOWEVER THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE IF CODES ARE STORED. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THIS AND SENT TO LANDROVER, HOWEVER THEY STILL WANT CODES EVEN AFTER TELLING ME THEY KNOW IT WILL NEVER HAVE THEM. THIS IS ALARMING AS THE CAMERA HELPS TO ENSURE NO PERSON, ANIMAL, OR OBJECT IS BEHIND VEHICLE THAT IS UNABLE TO BE SEEN WITHOUT CAMERA AS THIS VEHICLE SITS HIGH. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS OTHER SAFETY ALERTS THAT ARE PART OF THE SAME SYSTEM THAT HAS ME WORRIED COULD MALFUNCTION AT ANY POINT SUCH AS AUTO BRAKING TO PREVENT HITTING VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU AND AUTO CRUISE CONTROL THAT KEEPS A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU BY SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHILE SET. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR EVEN KILLED AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE. ALSO, MY DASH THAT SHOWS SPEED FUEL, AND SUCH IS ALSO FULLY DIGITAL AND AM WORRIED THIS MIGHT BE EFFECTED TOO AND AT ANY POINT LOCKUP OR DISAPPEAR. PHOTOS SHOW DIFFERENT TIMES ON SCREEN.
