Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10145057, filed 2005-12, 17,704 miles“No problems observed with the car. Suddenly the steering wheel became loose and fell down to a position where the bottom of the wheel was stuck between my legs. The tilt mechanism failed while the car was the moving and the wheel, although attached to the car, was forced down onto my legs. Steering wheel would no longer stay in a drivable position without $1300 replacement of steering column. This was a common problem with range rovers (it was easy to find many others online with a similar problem) and Land Rover had a recall on another part a year ago, which they deny had any impact on this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10248817, filed 2008-11, 47,000 miles“I have to replace my fuel pump two times it cost me over $2,000 and now my steering column isn't working my key won't turn I tested it by taking the fuse out and disconnecting the battery still nothing went to a current range rover spot and they said that's common in those vehicles with the steering column going out which makes the key not turn I hope that you guys can really resolve this situation because for this to be an old vehicle I'm spending a lot of money out of my pocket thank you”
