WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WASH IN BRENTWOOD, TN. I HEARD A LOUD POP. THE SPOILER CAME OFF THE TOP OF THE ROOF. THE WIND DEVICE MUST HAVE BLOWN IT OFF? I HAVE TAPED IT DOWN WITH 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. IT IS NOT SECURED.

AIR BAG LIGHT TURN ON ON 06/15/2020 THE CAR STARTED LEAKING ALOT OF FUEL WHEN I WENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND A LIGHT TURN ON RESTRICTED SERVICES. *TR

THE COOLANT RESERVOIR HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WELL KNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LAND ROVER. THE COOLANT RESERVOIR HAS A LEVEL INDICATOR BUILT INSIDE THE RESERVOIR WHICH GETS SATURATED WITH COOLANT AND DROPS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIR. THEN THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON ON THE DASH GIVING YOU A FALSE READING EVEN THOUGH THE COOLANT IS NOT LOW. FOR THIS THE CAR OWNER WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WHICH COST OVER $200 IN PARTS PLUS LABOR. THE LEVEL INDICATOR COST IS PROBABLE UNDER $5 DOLLARS, BUT IT'S BUILT IN AND UNABLE TO REPLACE JUST THAT. I THINK THIS IS POORLY BUILT BY THE MANUFACTURER OR IS POORLY BUILT THIS WAY FOR CONSUMERS HAVING TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN PARTS AND LABOR.

I BOUGHT A USED RANGE ROVER SPORT VIN NUMBER SALK2D49AA241247 FROM A SLEAZY SHOP. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE ON PRETENSE FOR THREE DAYS. FIRST DAY I GOT VEHICLE WITHIN 24 HOUR SEVERELY OVER HEATED, COOLANT COMING OUT , CAUSING THROTTLE AND THE RUINATION OF THE ENGINE. ANY OTHER LIKE SITUATION FOR 2010 RANGE ROVER REPORTED. THE VEHICLE IS A GONER. SOMEONE DROVE IT ABOUT ONE HOUR AND WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS GOING ON THE VEHICLE STARTED STEAMING BADLY. PULLED OVER NEVER RAN AGAIN. THE COST OF REPAIR IS MORE THEN THE VALUS OF THE VEHICLE. DID THE DEALER HAVE REASON TO KNOW? ANY LIKE REPORTED INCIDENTS FOR THAT YEAR.

I PURCHASED THE 2010 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT HSE AUG. 2015, IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED ILLUMINATING (ON A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN OFF A COUPLE OF DAYS) ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO...IN THE LAST MONTH I TOOK TO MECHANIC THAT SPECIFICALLY SPECIALIZE IN RR, I GOT SEVERAL DIAGNOSES WITHIN THE 4 TO 6 HOURS I WAS THERE...ONE DIAGNOSIS WAS POSSIBLE OXYGEN SENSOR THEN THE OTHER WAS POSSIBLE HOLES IN A CERTAIN TUBE WHICH WAS SEALED BUT DIGNOIS STILL WASN'T FOUND COMPLETELY 100 PERCENT. ..WELL A WEEK LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON...WELL SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE AS TO HOW MANY RR OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE...NOW I'M HIGHLY CONCERNED ABOUT WAS THERE A PRIOR RECALL... THE LR BRAND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLICABLE AND HIGH QUALITY ORGANISATION BUT I DO BELIEVE THEY FOCUSED TO MUCH ON THE "PRETTY" COSMETICS OF TRUCK AND THE FOCUS WAS NOT ON THE MECHANICS.. AND REALLY IT WAS TOO MANY UNNECESSARY "BELLS AND WHISTLES" ADDED TO TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO TAX FOR LURXY PRICES THAT THE TRUCK JUST SIMPLY CAN'T HANDLE..

ELECTRICAL FAULT OCCURS RANDOMLY AT ANY SPEED. AIR COMPRESSOR FAILS, TURN SIGNALS FAIL, WINDOWS MALFUNCTION, TPMS WARNING, INFOTAINMENT FAILURE, OCCASIONAL FAILURE OF SUSPENSION STABILIZATION. LOCKS WILL NOT WORK AND ENGINE WILL NOT START BUT IF STARTED ALL OF THE ABOVE HAPPENS BUT ENGINE RUNS NORMALLY. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR. NO SOLUTION. UNPLUGGING WIRING HARNESS UNDER GLOVE BOX WILL RESET AND ALLOW START BUT ISSUE RECURS VERY FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

MY WIFE BROUGHT IN OUR 2010 LAND ROVER/RANGE ROVER SPORT: SUPERCHARGED. IT WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE. WE WERE INFORMED BY MAINLINE THAT THE DIAGNOSIS IS AS FOLLOWS: THE ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO NO COOLANT BEING IN THE ENGINE. WE ALWAYS HAD THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AT MAINLINE LAND ROVER SINCE OUR ACQUISITION OF THE SAME. THERE WAS NEVER ANY INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MALFUNCTIONING OR ABOUT TO MALFUNCTION (I.E. SMOKE, ODOR, ELECTRONIC DISPLAY/INDICATOR, RESIDUE OF COOLANT, LEAK, OR CHANGE IN OPERABLE). THIS FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE TO MOVE HAPPENED IN AN INSTANT AND WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR INDICATION. WE HAVE CONSULTED SEVERAL CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALISTS INCLUDING A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE IN AUTOMOTIVE SCIENCE WHO WORKS FOR ANOTHER LUXURY VEHICLE RETAILER. ALL OF THE AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONAL, UNANIMOUSLY CONCLUDE, THAT THIS DIAGNOSIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. THEY HAVE CONSIDERED ALL SCENARIOS. *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS IN THE EVENING AND LOST POWER IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS FOR ABOUT ONE SECOND. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY WAY HOME WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. EACH TIME MY LIGHTS WENT OUT I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND NEAR THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT HAD A ISSUE SINCE BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY TO LOSE MY HEADLIGHTS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. *TR
