2023 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT Complaints

The contact owns a 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the parts being backordered. The manufacturer was contacted, who informed him not to drive the vehicle. but no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000. The VIN was not available.

Sadly, I have to report that I have not had my truck for more than 2 weeks and I had to already bring it to the dealerships for diagnostic evaluation for an Electrical fault detection message. As per the service department the vehicle needs a new Alternator. Hence, needing an alternator replacement when the vehicle has less than 200 miles is of great concern for the safety of my family and myself because this may have resulted from a manufacturer's safety-related defect? Or problem. I am hoping nothing major goes wrong with the vehicle after this initial repair other than regular maintenance and regular usage repairs. Needless to say, I am very disappointed and rethinking my automotive purchase. In addition, this is a great inconvenience to me. The vehicle currently at dealership for Alternator part replacement.

Adaptive Cruise Control does not recognize (at times) stopped cars. SUV will accelerate into a stopped car. Similar problem on the NJ Turnpike traveling 65 mph with Adaptive Cruise Control. All lanes had a meaningful slow down and SUV continued to accelerate into slowdown. Almost had an accident and had to slam on the breaks. There was NO collision warning (should he alerted). The Lane Assist is buggy and pushes against my natural steering for no reason. It’s constantly trying to steer against my 2 handed steering.
