Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “2004 range rover differential failure. The vehicle failed twice in traffic and just shut down, I had to have it towed. I am lucky to be alive, this problem was very dangerous, when I did research on the vehicle I was shocked to learn that it has not be recalled. The dealer will hit you for cost everytime, it was a racket and a shame.”
NHTSA complaint #10196388, filed 2007-07, 62,000 milesEquipment: “While driving at speed in excess of 60mph the suspension, transmission, driveshafts failed multiple times. Require tow serviced each time due to complete powerfailures. Vehicle locked and forced me into emergency lane on the nj turnpike. Landrover replaced only the battery and alternator the first time and 3 months later the failure happened again , and they replaced the battery and alternator again. Vehicle has electronic problems I have had speakers,ecu sensors, steering wheel motor, parking sensors all replaced in a 12 month span of a 2 year lease. …”
NHTSA complaint #10205640, filed 2007-10, 37,000 milesSteering: “While driving the steering column dropped in my lap!!!! Car goes to dealer and they replaced broken steering column. I was told that they have had many cases of this. Nhtsa needs to hold lrna liable for this and make them fix this common problem before someone is killed. Between this and the differential issues someone is going to get hurt or killed. Forget about all the electrical problems these cars have.”
