Example complaints
Electrical system: “On March 11, 2026, the vehicle's DC/DC Converter failed completely without warning. It was towed to the Land Rover of Monmouth (NJ) where this failure was confirmed. The failure of the DC/DC converter resulted in the vehicle going completely dead while driving with my wife and children. There was no warning. Fortunately for my family and I, it occurred on a side street by my home and did not occur on a highway or other busy road. Had this occurred on a highway or busy road, this would have absolutely put our lives in danger. …”
NHTSA complaint #11725005, filed 2026-03Transmission and drivetrain: “I put my car in park while still running and exited it to grab something about 15 feet away on a front porch. I heard the engine make a noise, I turned my head and saw the car starting to move towards me up a slight hill on its own. I ran to the car, opened the driver door, and tried to stop it but fell. The car ran over my foot and hit the front of the house that caused it to stop. Prior to this incident it was in for service for a foul odor that was coming from inside of my car. They had it in the shop twice and made a repair that did not fully correct the issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11308801, filed 2020-02, 950 milesBrakes: “On December 17, 2022 I got back in my car from an earlier outing and had no brakes whatsoever. There was no warning, only a warning light afterwards that read something along the lines of *** brake problem. Still safe to drive. The car is under warranty so I had it towed to Tacoma Land Rover. The brake situation was so dire that I sealed the key in an envelope, warning people there were no brakes. Long story but they determined that the brake failure was caused by a dead auxiliary battery. …”
