Example complaints

Air bags: “Takata recall upon turning my car on the front passenger seat airbag warning indicator light has appeared. I'm aware that when the driver and/or passenger sits in the front seats of the vehicle a seat belt reminder sensor appears. This sensor triggers a warning light and an audible chime to remind the driver and/or passenger to fasten their seat belt. However, my car only reminds/chimes for the driver seat. The sensor does not trigger when there is an occupant in the passenger seat. I'm aware that other Land Rover makes/models have had recalls due to air bag issues. …”

NHTSA complaint #11076515, filed 2018-03, 40,883 miles

Engine: “Driving at a safe freeway speed 70mph, the motor suddenly stop with no warning. As the car slowed down, I was able to turn on hazard lights, move to neutral and safely make my way to right shoulder. The car was unable to start for over three weeks since then.. The car is currently with dealer. It was a dangerous situation with my 3-month old and wife with me, how does a car just stop on a highway.”

NHTSA complaint #11270220, filed 2019-10, 98,500 miles

Brakes: “Vacuum pump failed causing no boost from the brake booster, complete loss of vacuum assistance in the braking system. This condition resulted in hard feel to the brake pedal. Vehicle braking was very difficult, vehicle ran through a red light before coming to a complete stop on a city street. (similar Land Rover recall #p052) no communication available with occupancy sensor control module, air bag light stuck on and apparently may or may not be working. My dealer is trying to make me pay for this repair. (similar Land Rover recall #p052)”

NHTSA complaint #10873089, filed 2016-06, 57,000 miles

Other or unknown: “My vehicle accelerates in a forward lurching motion. This uncontrollable, sudden, and spasmodic thrust ahead is dangerous and in traffic could/will cause the vehicle to smash into another car or person; I have had several scary, close encounters. The problem seem to be in the engine's software. When acceleration is called for the turbo charger slams into action, roughly pushing the car ahead. …”
