“On multiple occasions vehicle has been in reverse as indicated by gear shift and dash yet the vehicle has moved forward as if it were in drive instead. Reported to dealership and manufacturer without resolve.”
NHTSA complaint #11112351, filed 2018-07, 8,000 miles“Rear surround camera has blurry and hazy image upon activation of reverse gear. There is noticeable water ingress in camera lens. Vehicle had issue addressed in 2022 by replacement with part LR060915. Blurry/hazy issue was observed intermittently and now camera is inoperable with visible water in camera housing. I believe this is an extension of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reference number: 24V-023. Manufacturer does not want to assist with the recall on MY18-22 as my VIN is not included even though the issue is one and the same.”
NHTSA complaint #11742024, filed 2026-06“I had a 64,000 mile tune up on my vehicle upon picking up the car the tech mentioned I may want to replace start/stop switch as it “felt funny upon reprogramming the vehicle” I was given a written estimate and sent on my way in the vehicle. Driving on the highway 66mph heard a ding looked at dash to see a “start/stop switch fail” warning and the car went completely dead I had no blinker no hazards nothing thankfully I was in travel lane and there was a breakdown lane available to move into. My children and I were almost killed. Dealership claims they’ve never heard of this issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11577624, filed 2024-03“The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated while parked at the gas station, the fuel gauge became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that recalls were VIN-specific and offered no assistance. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V337000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the VIN was not included. …”
