Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving at ~10-15 MPH around lake mead in nv. As I pulled to a stop sign smoke began to come from under the hood of the car. At first I thought the car was overheating and tried to navigate it to the side of the road. All the cars systems went out before I got it off the road (30 seconds from the first smoke) and the smoke was billowing out from under the hood. I jumped out and tried to open the hood, still thinking it was overheating, but I was unable to find the catch. I decided to move away from the car just in case. …”
NHTSA complaint #10508711, filed 2013-04, 160,000 miles“While driving 55 MPH on I-80, my 2000 Range Rover engine cut out, after pulling to the side of the road, a small flame was visible under the rear engine. An entire fire extinguisher was emptied under the car, yet the vehicle burned up 100%. A total loss of all contents of the vehicle. My son was lucky to escape from the vehicle. The Range Rover had 128,000 and was regularly serviced by the dealer. The car is available for viewing at jacks towing yard in sacramento, california.”
NHTSA complaint #10203317, filed 2007-09, 128,000 miles“Coolant was found leaking onto the floor of the front passenger seat. In addition, one of the coolant hoses developed a leak, causing the vehicle to begin overheating. The dealer replaced the hose, but also reported the heater core o-rings needed to be swapped. The o-rings caused the original problem of coolant leaking to the vehicle's interior. After a short online investigation, this appears to be a problem for quite a few Range Rover owners.”
NHTSA complaint #10090603, filed 2004-09, 57,000 miles“The contact owns a 2000 Land Rover Range Rover. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact smelled smoke and pulled the vehicle off the road. He noticed flames under the hood of his vehicle. Within minutes, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. The fire department extinguished the fire and a report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a junk yard. There were no injuries. The failure mileage was 77,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10258057, filed 2009-02, 77,000 miles“The contact owns a 2000 Land Rover Range Rover. Whenever the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, she would hear a loud noise. There are no warning indicators illuminated when the failure occurs. The dealer stated that the intake manifold developed a large hole and, because it was a hole instead of a split, the failure would not be included in the recall. She called the manufacturer, but has not received a response. The intake manifold has not been repaired. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 111,000.”
