Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “I bought a 2010 Land Rover LR2 from the dealer less that 1 year ago. It had 72,000 miles when I bought it, the sales rep and Land Rover said the car was a loaner car for customers. They said it was fully maintained and serviced at the appropriate miles. Ive only driven it 8,000 miles and the drive train is now humming and whirling. I took it to an independent shop and they said that these Land Rover are infamous in having these problems. More than any other car. …”

NHTSA complaint #10896474, filed 2016-08, 5 miles

Electrical system: “This vehicle has terrible battery issues. The battery will never stay charged for more than 2 days without driving it. The battery dies regularly and has left my family and I stranded on multiple occasions. I have had to replace the battery 6 times in 3 years. Each time I purchase a high end battery to try to mitigate the problem, but it persists. The battery starts out great, but over time is worn further and further down. This is an in going issue with many, many people that has never been resolved. This problem needs to be addressed and fixed. …”

NHTSA complaint #11416794, filed 2021-05, 97,000 miles

Other or unknown: “I have a 2010 LR2 hse with approx. 59k. Just took it to my repair guy who diagnosed a problem with the rear differential. He referred me to the local dealer to repair. After speaking with the local dealership to make an appointment and realizing that they knew exactly what the problem is with my vehicle, I did some research and see that this is a common problem with this model of car and is a very costly repair. …”

Air bags: “I recently purchased the 2010 LR2 from a used dealership and the airbag light and seat belt light are on. The seat belt works just fine, but the light stays on (even when a passenger is in the car and has their seat belt fastened). I saw that there was a previous recall on LR2's for my year about the airbags and I am worried that they won't function if I get into a wreck because the light is on.”
