“I have taken the vehicle in 6 times for the rear electric lift gate opening randomly on highway and roads. I have had items fall out that could have created an accident. It is know that Land Rover has issues with doors opening and I now am including the lift gate. The issue has not been resolved”
NHTSA complaint #11155494, filed 2018-12, 25,000 miles“I received recall notice n336 in july. My passenger rear door has swung open in traffic 4 different times as I am making right hand turns in busy intersections!!!! I have contacted landrover and local dealership to try to get it fixed but they say they do not have the parts to fix the problem yet. It has been 6 weeks since the recall notice was issued. That should be plenty of time!! This is a huge safety risk and it continues to happen!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11252155, filed 2019-08, 48,000 miles“When I turned my car on in the morning the stereo was not working and you could hear crackling. I then was dropping my son off at school and we were going slow because we were in the school zone.maybe 5-10 MPH I smelled smoke and then looked back and saw smoke coming from inside the car where the reading light is in the back. I had to park my truck at my dads car because I did not feel safe driving it. I googled and found that a lot of range rover have a faulty sunroof to where water leaks causing electrical damage. This was also what the range rover specialist told me he has seen happen. …”
