Example complaints

Electrical system: “Hit a car that pulled out in front of me at about 20mph and the airbags did not deploy and the sos button did not activate. Then I pushed it manually and it failed to make a call until 20 mins later after the police arrived. Vehicle was in motion in the city when looking at some other range rovers at the collision center it seemed like the airbags were not as sensitive as they should be.”

NHTSA complaint #11362049, filed 2020-09, 5,000 miles

Engine: “Faulty code P0A7B and P0A1F for the Battery Energy Control Module BECM was diagnosed. Check engine light appeared and then car shut off at a light when attempting to press accelerator. Was told by dealer the part needed replacement instead of just a software update. A recall was shown in general for my year and type but not specifically for my vehicle. My vehicle should be included with this recall to replace the component.”

NHTSA complaint #11692476, filed 2025-10

Other or unknown: “This car does not have a spare tire. I was unable to get a flat tire repaired in the dark of the night after hitting a pot hole. This is a safety concern and I don't understand why any car would be allowed on the road without a spare tire!”

NHTSA complaint #11402670, filed 2021-03, 15,000 miles

Brakes: “The braking system keeps repeatedly failing. I have numerous times been driving when the braking system locks, leaving the car uncapable of securing a safe stop at any given moment. In 2024, the vehicle was serviced at Landrover Englewood, NJ where I paid for repairs. The same problem yet again emerged causing the risk of potential accident on September 1, 2026 while driving on the local city roadways. …”
