Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car has been in 4 times with the same issue, the vehicle will randomly shut itself off, I.e. The car shuts off, the transmission moves to park. It is not ecostart or from my unbuckling the seatbelt. This happens when I am turning into parking spaces and immediately after the vehicle stops, occurrence is 20+ times now. The fault will not save in the computer and land rovers engineers have admitted its probably a software glitch but cannot fix if it doesn't show in computer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10865863, filed 2016-05, 16,000 miles“While driving on a 4 lane road at approximately 40-45mph, my vehicle (5 months old, 6,200 miles) suddenly lost power and rapidly decelerated and would not accelerate. A large warning signal displayed on the dashboard indicating warning gearbox failure . Luckily traffic was light at the time and I was able to maneuver to the shoulder of the road without incident. It appeared the transmission froze and the vehicle was towed. Land rover has not been able to determine the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10746598, filed 2015-08, 6,200 miles“I was stopped at a light and when I went to go the car would not go into drive - it would only roll backwards. I rolled backwards into another car. After the accident my car would also not go into park. I had to stay in the car with my foot on the brake until the police and tow truck arrived. Land rover said they were aware of the problem and applied a software patch to the vehicle to correct the problem with the electronic transmission. I feel that this is a potentially fatal condition that should warrant a mandatory recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10706110, filed 2015-04, 1,829 miles“In stop and go traffic for approximately 20 minutes the Range Rover's eco mode was engaging properly and shutting down the engine. It had been restarting properly however in one instance the vehicle did not restart and the 'd' indicator flashed. This left the vehicle disabled in the middle lane of traffic. Restarting the engine solved the problem however this could have been dangerous if I had been unable to reengage 'drive.'”
NHTSA complaint #10807147, filed 2015-11, 11,500 miles“As I was backing out my driveway I heard a loud pop noise and then noticed that my front drivers side tire has collapsed making the car un-driveable. Had I been driving at high speed it could have resulted in a dangerous life threatening situation. It was towed to the dealer for inspection. There I was told that Range Rover in canada and the uk had been recalled for the same malfunction. My Range Rover has only been service by an authorized dealer and was at low mileage for the year of the car. …”
