Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “Front differential bearing failed at 51500. Vehicle was brought into Land Rover dealer at approximately 48000 miles while still under warranty for a noise coming from the front of the vehicle and the dealer failed to diagnose it at this point. The noise rapidly became louder and the dealer finally diagnosed it 1500 miles out of warranty and refused to cover under warranty.”

NHTSA complaint #10397769, filed 2011-04, 51,500 miles

Brakes: “The brakes on my 2007 Land Rover LR3 discovery series iii began squeaking at 20,000 miles and by 25,000 miles I was told by the Land Rover service department that the brake pads and rotors (the entirety of the brakes besides the brake lines) needed to be replaced. He said it is a dangerous situation but when I asked if Land Rover will pay he said no. Please investigate this if it is within your power.”

NHTSA complaint #10272438, filed 2009-05, 25,000 miles

Other or unknown: “I was pulling into a staples store parking space and went to stop. The LR3 accelerated as I was braking and the powerful engine revved & wanted to keep driving the LR3 forward. I kept my foot on the brake and immediateley shifted the LR3 into park; shifted back & forth before the LR3 stopped idle. Luckily there were no people or cars directly in front of me, but I did go across the lane and nearly hit a parked car. …”

NHTSA complaint #11053374, filed 2017-12, 114,000 miles
