2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT Complaints

The passenger front door opened by itself while the vehicle was moving. Speed was fairly slow 20-25kmphs an hour. The door almost struck another car in the right lane. The door locks were engaged and no light or warning was on the dash. I pulled over and closed the door and it closed as normal. Not sure what part of the door failed and caused it to open but I’m assuming the door latch? I called the dealership but they were closed. Will call them again but seems like a very serious issue that should be addressed by Land Rover. I could of struck another car, pedestrian or a cyclist. The door fully swung open. My vehicle is available to be inspected anytime. I have not made a insurance or police report etc.

I receive a constant warning light - check engine light comes on - for loose gas cap. I will adjust the gas cap and it will go away and then come back on, illuminate again shortly after. There is a strong fuel smell inside and outside of the vehicle.

The driver door latch: there has been a handful of incidents where the door does not get full closed and I assume the system has a malfunction because then the door does not latch to vehicle as if the latch locks assuming vehicle had been closed. Therefore to close the door it has to be forcefully slammed to shut.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER'S DOOR UNLATCHED AND THE DOOR OPENED. THE CONTACT HELD THE DOOR CLOSED AND DROVE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER PLAZA MOTORS (11654 OLIVE BLVD, CREVE COEUR, MO 63141) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V387000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 116,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE REPORTED. THAT THE DOORS OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE. THIS IS HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. DEALERSHIP SENT ME A RECALL IN 2019. BUT, NOW THEY SAID I HAD TO PAY $675 FOR IT ! THIS ISNT RIGHT. WHEN THERE IS A RECALL. AND I ALREADY PAID SOME ON THE LAST TIME THE DOORS CAME OPEN

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPENING ON ITS OWN WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR MAKING A TURN WHILE DRIVING EVEN AFTER I LOCKED IT. HAD I NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION I WOULD HAVE FEEL OUT OF THE DOOR .I NO THERE IS A OPEN RECALL ON THAT CAN YOU ALL PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT IS TAKING THEM SO LONG TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOME GET HURT OR WORSE

THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME WITH KNOWN DEFECTS BY THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE HAS KNOWN REPEATED DEFECTS WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM, LOW COOLANT WARNING LIGHT REPEATEDLY COMING ON, RADIATOR, REPEATED WATER PUMP FAILURE, CROSSOVER PIPE SEEPING, GEAR BOX/ GEAR SHIFT FAILURE, FRONT SUSPENSION BOTTOMING, UNUSUAL WEARING OF BRAKES, ECO START/STOP FAILURE, REPEATED O2 OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE TRIGGERING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNINGS, WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID LEAK BEHIND FRONT BUMPER. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF DEFECTS AND PERFORM DECEPTIVE, MINIMAL REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THESE DEFECTS WILL PRESENT BIGGER PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND WILL INCUR COST AT CONSUMER EXPENSE AND DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER PROFIT. FAILURE OF THE DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR THESE DEFECTS HAS CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE IN MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR 3 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MANUFACTURER AND THEY ARE STALLING AND DELAYING IN PROVIDING ANY REMEDY FOR THIS MATTER. I HAVE FULL DOCUMENTATION AND SERVICE RECORDS SINCE OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR. CAR WAS SERVICED AT LAND ROVER DEALERSHIPS. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE HAS HAD VARIOUS RECALLS KNOWN TO NHTSA.

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.

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.
