“My driver's side door will not stay latched and my door opens unexpectedly on my 2016 Range Rover Sport Diesel. I will be in gear, starting to drive and the door comes open and the vehicle is automatically thrown into park. Or the problem happens when I enter my vehicle and attempt to close the door and it will not latch, it just bounces back open. A recall was issued for other 2016 RR models, however my vehicle vin was not included. My vehicle is currently at the Land Rover dealership service center in Tucson and they refuse to try appeal to Land Rover to cover this. …”
