2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT Complaints

The vehicle has a Incorrect Diesel Exhaust Fluid Quality Detected Warning only have 249 miles before no engine starts. Vehicle currently has 83,000 miles on odometer. Dealer stated that I needed a Catalytic converter and NOX Sensor cost $2800 The land keep assist, lane departure warning and front facing camera are all inoperative.

The airbag warning lamp came on. We took it to LR and they said the replacement would cost $1038. The airbag needed to be replaced at our cost. However, I did see that there us a recall for airbags on my year and model car which my VIN is not included on. However, I believe this may be an error on LR that they did not include my vehicle. I should also note my vehicle is diesel and that might be a reason it was left out? I believe it to be part of recall Part 573 Safety Recall Report 17V-154 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC Submission Date : MAR 13, 2017 NHTSA Recall No. : 17V-154 Manufacturer Recall No. : N026 Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC Address : 555 MACARTHUR BOULEVARD MAHWAH NJ 07430 Company phone : [XXX] Population : Number of potentially involved : 205 Estimated percentage with defect : 100 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2016-2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : SUV Power Train : NR Descriptive Information : 2016 MY Land Rover Range Rover Sport Vehicles in select VIN range Production Dates : SEP 20, 2016 - OCT 24, 2016 VIN Range 1 : Begin : [XXX] End : [XXX]Not sequential VIN Range 2 : Begin : [XXX] End : [XXX] Not sequential Vehicle 2 : 2016-2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : SUV Power Train : NR Descriptive Information : 2016 MY Land Rover Range Rover Vehicles in select VIN range Production Dates : SEP 22, 2016 - OCT 25, 2016 VIN Range 1 : Begin : [XXX] End : [XXX] Not sequential INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Was driving in traffic 7 min into the journey with no warning light the car shut down, would not start. No light or indicator before engine overheaded and never gave a warning of anything. This cause the engine to need to be replaced. The Land Rover dealership here in Jacksonville said they see this 3 Times a week.

Upon making a turn the driver side door unexpectedly opened. At this point it seems the latch is malfunctioning as the door will not stay closed.

While driving on the interstate in good weather on flat even ground the suspension fault warning came on. Maximum speed recommended 30 mph. Pull over, stop the car, turn off the engine and investigate. Car is still at operating height, no blown air suspension components. Get back in, start the car…. No warning, suspension button on console adjusts the suspension to access height, clearance, etc… Driving home it happens again. No DTC readable from my scanner, no idea if it is a sensor or bad connection.

The lock mechanism on the passenger side door stopped working, the door will not open from the inside or outside. I have searched online and this seems to be a very common occurrence with this auto maker. The car was not hit, has not been damaged. I parked and my daughter was not able to get out of the vehicle, the door will unlatch and open about half an inch but then the soft close mechanism engages and will not allow the door to be opened any further and instead automatically closes the door. This is cause for concern because if I am driving and get hit on the driver side will be trapped in the car. Since this seems to be a very common issue with Land Rover it should be a safety recall.

The gear shift button randomly stuck and was not able to pop back out. Reached out to numerous car repair shops that specialize in Range Rover sports and they informed that should be a recall issue since they do get a lot of calls regarding this issue. They said it’s a software issue and that the dealer should fix this issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Sport. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the driver’s and passenger’s side air bag modules needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V941000 (Air Bags) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 53,627.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH LESS THEN 40,000 MILES. NO EXTREME DRIVING, MAINLY CITY DRIVING. NO LIGHTS OR WARNINGS, JUST A RUBBING NOISE. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND OUTSIDE MECHANIC, BOTH CONFIRMED IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

DEFECTIVE GEAR SELECTOR. DRIVER PARKED THE CAR AND SWITCHED IT OFF. DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS. THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT ANYONE IN THE CAR. THE CAR RAN OVER A STATIONARY MOTORCYCLE AND OVER AND INTO A LOW WALL CAUSING ABOUT $20,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN AUTOMATIC BRAKE WHEN SWITCHED OFF AND EXITED. FROM THE MANUAL: "THE EPB APPLIES AUTOMATICALLY IF THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED IS BELOW 2 MPH (3 KM/H)." THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON JUNE 14, 2018. MY INSURANCE - FARMER' INSURANCE - FILED A CLAIM/COMPLAINT WITH RANGE ROVER, BUT IT WAS DENIED BY RANGE ROVER. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS - IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE ARE LUCKY THAT THE CAR DID NOT DRIVE OVER A PERSON WALKING BEHIND THE CAR. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH RANGE ROVER.
