LAND ROVER Complaints

While driving, my husband noticed a clunking or knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle. He contacted the dealership in September and was told they were experiencing a system outage and could not assist us at that time. We continued to drive the vehicle, and soon after, the steering began to feel loose and started pulling to one side. While I was driving, the car suddenly jerked sharply, and I temporarily lost control of the steering. The vehicle felt increasingly unstable and unsafe to drive. Eventually, the car completely shut off while I was driving on the interstate.

Constant loss of coolant, overheating. Coored. Crossover pipes replaces. Pressure tests to coolant system come back as normal, but vehicle requires frequent topping up and dashboard warning lights. Car overheated on highway requiring immediate stopping and tow. After removing starter, pooling found while under pressure on shield under turbo manifold. Exact location of leak is tbd. These repairs should be covered by a recall for how frequently they occur. The MHEV turbo is generating too much heat for all of the plastic parts.

I received notice of safety recall N945 for the 2021–2025 Range Rover Evoque concerning a defect in the passenger airbag that could tear during deployment due to improper folding during assembly. This condition poses a serious safety risk because a torn airbag could fail to protect the occupant or release hot gases that could cause burns. Since the recall was issued several months ago, I have repeatedly contacted my authorized Land Rover dealership to schedule the repair. The dealership stated that they are unable to perform the recall because their internal system was “hacked” and they cannot access recall information or confirm when parts will be available. The manufacturer’s website still lists the recall as “incomplete – remedy not yet available.” It has now been over three months since I was notified of the recall, yet no remedy or scheduling information has been provided. This delay prevents me from having a critical safety repair completed and leaves my vehicle in an unsafe condition for any front passenger. I am filing this complaint because the manufacturer and dealership have not provided a remedy within a reasonable time frame, and I believe this represents a failure to complete a federally mandated safety recall in a timely manner

The contact owns a 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V454000 (Air Bags); however, the contact called a local dealer and was informed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the electronic throttle control warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel when the vehicle was started. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 16,900.

Windshield crack. No sign of impact or stress. Bottom Driver side start of crack then spread to midline and over to passenger side of windshield. completely unknown as to any cause other than a design or materials defect.

The vehicle has multiple safety and operational defects that remain unresolved after four service visits on April 10, May 28, June 19, and August 2, 2024, totaling more than 30 days out of service. Lane Keep Assist malfunctions unpredictably at highway speeds—at times making abrupt steering inputs without warning or failing to intervene during lane departure—creating a safety hazard. The vehicle has excessive wind noise, suggesting door or glass seal issues. The infotainment system intermittently crashes, freezing or disabling functions including the backup camera and Bluetooth phone audio. Dealer diagnostic scans showed 15 ECU modules not communicating and multiple diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) across systems, indicating systemic electronic faults. Despite software updates and repair attempts, the problems persist and continue to impair the vehicle’s safety, reliability, and normal operation.

Upon having my tires balanced and aligned I was informed that my fuel tank is rusting out. I have included pictues below for reference, I have attempted to have the dealer and Land Rover replace the fuel tank but they refuse to do so even though there is a 6-year Corrosive Warranty in place.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V514000 (Steering); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted on several occasions. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was not available.

Unacceptable response by Land Rover to remedy a serious safety recall identified and communicated in late July/early August 2025 in a timely manner! Multiple and contradictory explanations and excuses for the lack of solution and mitigation by both the local dealership as well as the national Land Rover North America corporate representatives. Additional confusion and lack of response is related to similar but separate suspension knuckle recall identifiers: D019 vs N759. Further, the company is not offering any other consideration in the face of the delay other than don't drive or "drive at your own risk"!
