Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “Recently began hearing a noise from the rear when driving. Thought it might be from the rear alignment causing the tire tread to make this sound. Driving faster the noise would get louder. Took to my mechanic for alignment and they said it was the rear differential going out. The bearings were making the loud noise. The vehicle only has 70,400 miles and is driven 10 miles a day and never off road. Looked for any recall notice I may have missed and then discovered this same situation from several others. I entered my VIN to check for any recalls and there are none! …”

NHTSA complaint #11390556, filed 2021-01, 70,400 miles

Other or unknown: “The rear differential needs replaced at only 71k miles - dealership has quoted a cost of $6,000.00. This is apparently a very common problem for the LR2 and Land Rover has issued a TSB but will not perform a recall and fix this known issue and factory defect.”

NHTSA complaint #11062291, filed 2018-01, 71,000 miles

Engine: “I had just driven 3 hours to chicago from galesburg, I was prepared to enter 90/94 at stoney island , but I decided to stop off because my cell phone was not charging my cigarette lighter was not working. I know enough about cars to change a little fuse. I popped my hood to check out the fuses, to replace it. I pulled the fuse for the lighter it was not blown, I put it back. I decided time is getting late, forget it, I will buy and external charger in indiana. When I replaced the fuse cover and closed the hood. …”

NHTSA complaint #10577730, filed 2014-04, 36,000 miles

As a result, the air bag deployed, but did not inflate. The contact and the front passenger hit the windshield and sustained injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed.
