2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (7 Seat) SUV 4WD

The driver door latch: there has been a handful of incidents where the door does not get full closed and I assume the system has a malfunction because then the door does not latch to vehicle as if the latch locks assuming vehicle had been closed. Therefore to close the door it has to be forcefully slammed to shut.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER'S DOOR UNLATCHED AND THE DOOR OPENED. THE CONTACT HELD THE DOOR CLOSED AND DROVE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER PLAZA MOTORS (11654 OLIVE BLVD, CREVE COEUR, MO 63141) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V387000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 116,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE REPORTED. THAT THE DOORS OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE. THIS IS HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. DEALERSHIP SENT ME A RECALL IN 2019. BUT, NOW THEY SAID I HAD TO PAY $675 FOR IT ! THIS ISNT RIGHT. WHEN THERE IS A RECALL. AND I ALREADY PAID SOME ON THE LAST TIME THE DOORS CAME OPEN

MY CAR DID NOT TELL ME WHAT THE RECALL WAS, AND IT WAS NOT REPAIRED SUCCESSFULLY, BUT MY MAIN DRIVING DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED AND LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY; ANOTHER FAULT IS THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A LOUD FRICTION SOUND WHILE DRIVING, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED FOR ME; THERE IS ALSO THE FEELING THAT THE LOWER HALF OF THE DOOR IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF, LIKE A BROKEN CAR; BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE FAULTS, MY CAR WAS BASICALLY PARKED AT HOME.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPENING ON ITS OWN WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR MAKING A TURN WHILE DRIVING EVEN AFTER I LOCKED IT. HAD I NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION I WOULD HAVE FEEL OUT OF THE DOOR .I NO THERE IS A OPEN RECALL ON THAT CAN YOU ALL PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT IS TAKING THEM SO LONG TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOME GET HURT OR WORSE

THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME WITH KNOWN DEFECTS BY THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE HAS KNOWN REPEATED DEFECTS WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM, LOW COOLANT WARNING LIGHT REPEATEDLY COMING ON, RADIATOR, REPEATED WATER PUMP FAILURE, CROSSOVER PIPE SEEPING, GEAR BOX/ GEAR SHIFT FAILURE, FRONT SUSPENSION BOTTOMING, UNUSUAL WEARING OF BRAKES, ECO START/STOP FAILURE, REPEATED O2 OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE TRIGGERING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNINGS, WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID LEAK BEHIND FRONT BUMPER. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF DEFECTS AND PERFORM DECEPTIVE, MINIMAL REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THESE DEFECTS WILL PRESENT BIGGER PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND WILL INCUR COST AT CONSUMER EXPENSE AND DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER PROFIT. FAILURE OF THE DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR THESE DEFECTS HAS CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE IN MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR 3 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MANUFACTURER AND THEY ARE STALLING AND DELAYING IN PROVIDING ANY REMEDY FOR THIS MATTER. I HAVE FULL DOCUMENTATION AND SERVICE RECORDS SINCE OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR. CAR WAS SERVICED AT LAND ROVER DEALERSHIPS. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE HAS HAD VARIOUS RECALLS KNOWN TO NHTSA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. UPON TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE "BATTERY LOW, START ENGINE" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MECHANIC ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: Q343 (LOSS OF COMMUNICATION/BATTERY WARNING LIGHT). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,800.

MY DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING AND LAND ROVER / RANGE ROVER IS TELLING ME IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PRIOR INVESTIGATION, RECALL OR OTHER. FIRST, I COULDN'T GET MY PASSENGER DOOR TO LOCK, THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOW, I CAN'T GET MY DRIVER SIDE TO LOCK, AND MY PASSENGER IS FINE. LAND ROVER CLAIMS THEY ALREADY UPDATED MY "SOFTWARE" BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING MUCH MORE DETAILED THAN THAT, AS THERE ARE LITERALLY 1000'S OF PEOPLE ASKING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NOT SURE IF THIS WILL RESULT IN MY DOORS FLYING OPEN SUDDENLY, AS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN PRIOR CASES WITH NHTSA FOR MY YEAR RANGE ROVER - BUT I TRULY FEEL AS IF THEY KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THEIR DOOR ACTUATORS, SOFTWARE AND LOCKS BUT ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THEM IN THEIR DEALERSHIP UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY. SEVERAL DEALERS HAVE NOTED FOR MY VIN, THEY'VE DEVELOPED NEW ACTUATORS BECAUSE OF FLAWS IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS AND WANT ME TO SPEND UPWARDS OF $2K TO HAVE REPLACEMENTS.

I HAVE THE 2014 RANGE ROVER WITH THE V6 SUPERCHARGED GAS ENGINE. DURING A ROLLING START, SUCH AS ROLLING START TO PERFORM A U-TURN OR MERGING INTO A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATION IS DELAYED BY AT LEAST 2 SECONDS, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY DURING MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY THE 2 SECONDS ACCELERATION LAG COULD SEND FALSE INFORMATION TO THE OTHER CARS AND MADE ME ALMOST CRASH FOR A FEW TIMES. IT SHOULD BE A TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

ROOF TRIM PIECE BLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HEARD A BANG NOISE ON MY ROOF AND WHEN I PULLED OVER I SAW MY PASSENGER ROOF TRIM STRIP HAD BLOWN OFF. WAS ONLY GOING 40 MPH.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT THERE IS A SKIPPING/GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER VEHICLE AROUND THE TRANSFER CASE. I'VE HAD THE FLUIDS FLUSHED BUT NOISE STILL REMAINS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN UNDER MORE TORQUE LIKE GOING UP A HILL.

SAFETY RECALL N335, RECALL WAS DONE AND DOOR STILL DOES NOT SHUT, AT TIMES OPENS WHEN DRIVING. IT DOES NOT SHUT WHEN ONE THINKS IT IS SHUT

THE DOORS UNLATCH AND OPEN WHILE DRIVING, YOU SEE THE LOCK LIGHT ON BUT THE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR TO MAKE IT TO YOUR DESTINATION THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS AND NO FIX TILL POSSIBLE THE END OF THIS MONTH HE SAID AND THAT'S NO GUARANTEE HE STATED!! WHAT ARE WE TO DO DRIVING VEHICLE WHERE THE DOORS SWING OPEN WHILE DRIVING?!?! I'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY WITH THIS TRUCK!!!

JERK AT THE 5 MPH BEFORE STOP FEELS LIKE SOMEBODY BUMP IN TO ME

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH (INSIDE MY SUBDIVISION AS WAS ONLY LEAVING THE MY GARAGE TO COMMUTE INTO WORK) AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE LEFT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF. INITIALLY UNAWARE OF THIS (INSIDE LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON, NOR THE PASSENGER DASH HIGHLIGHTING ANY INFORMATION) I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, ONLY TO HAVE THE NOW OPEN DOOR SMASH INTO A BRICK COLUMN WHICH WAS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE RIGHT TO ASSESS WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND FOUND THAT THE DOOR WAS DENTED AND SCRATCHED BUT NOW THE DOOR LATCH WAS NOW ENGAGED AND THE DOOR NOT ABLE TO CLOSE. THANKFULLY MY 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER, WHO USUALLY SITS ON THIS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS NOT WITH ME. I AM EXTREMELY ALARMED AND CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR COULD BECOME OPENED BY ITSELF AND NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA DUE TO OTHERS HAVING HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THAT I TOO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND AM DOING MY BEST NOW TO WORK WITH LAND ROVER DIRECTLY TO ASSIST ME IN FIXING THE ISSUE, INCLUDING THE ROOT CAUSE AND BODY WORK. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE IS ALREADY SUGGESTING NO FAULT BY THE VEHICLE.

IN 2016, THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TESTED IT FOR A LEAK, DIDN'T FIND ONE, SO JUST TOPPED OFF THE FLUID. THREE MONTHS LATER, HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY DID A QUICK PRESSURE TEST AND DIDN'T FIND A LEAK. THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND AT ONE POINT, THE DEALER REPLACED A WATER PUMP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. STILL, THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, LOW ENGINE COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND MY ENGINE OVERHEATED RIGHT THEN, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT COST ME $3,400 TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE- LO AND BEHOLD, ALL OF THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED OUT. AFTER THOSE REPAIRS WERE DONE, I HAD THE CAR BACK FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,,,THEY SAID IT WAS AN O2 SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED. GOT CAR BACK- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. LONG STORY SHORT- NOW IT'S THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIR AND I AM NOW QUESTIONING IF THIS VEHICLE WAS EVER ROAD SAFE TO BEGIN WITH. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH REPLACING THE TIMING CHAIN AND SOME OTHER REPAIRS, WHICH LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA DID PAY HALF OF. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE ONE OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS AT LAND ROVER FRISCO SAID THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF ROVERS WITH THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT ON AND ALL THEY DO IS TOP OFF FLUID. I AM AFRAID THEY HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN WHAT THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING. BTW- LAND ROVER DALLAS IS WHO DID THE LATTER REPAIRS AND LAND ROVER FRISCO INITIALLY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP...WHICH WAS A WASTE OF MONEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAGUAR LAND ROVER OF THOUSAND OAKS (LOCATED AT 3601 AUTOMALL DR, THOUSAND OAKS, CA 91362, (805) 267-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FAILED WITH CODE B0020-13, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V093000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,959.

THE DOOR LOCKS ON THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK THEY STAY UNLATCHED

WHEN STATIONARY, BACKING UP, AND EVEN DRIVING THE COMPUTER SCREEN LOCKS AND PARKING AID ALERT, CAMERAS UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DEALER. WARNING COMES ON PREVENTING THE ABILITY TO SEE BLINDSPOTS WHEN BACKING UP THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE BY TURNING AND LOOKING ALONE OR USING MIRROR. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY AND SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN DONE. HOWEVER THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. I CONTACTED LANDROVER AND THEY STATED THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND NO CODES AS TO WHY IT HAPPENS ARE ABLE TO BE STORED ON THIS MODEL AS IT WAS NOT MADE FOR THIS, HOWEVER THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE IF CODES ARE STORED. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THIS AND SENT TO LANDROVER, HOWEVER THEY STILL WANT CODES EVEN AFTER TELLING ME THEY KNOW IT WILL NEVER HAVE THEM. THIS IS ALARMING AS THE CAMERA HELPS TO ENSURE NO PERSON, ANIMAL, OR OBJECT IS BEHIND VEHICLE THAT IS UNABLE TO BE SEEN WITHOUT CAMERA AS THIS VEHICLE SITS HIGH. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS OTHER SAFETY ALERTS THAT ARE PART OF THE SAME SYSTEM THAT HAS ME WORRIED COULD MALFUNCTION AT ANY POINT SUCH AS AUTO BRAKING TO PREVENT HITTING VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU AND AUTO CRUISE CONTROL THAT KEEPS A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU BY SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHILE SET. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR EVEN KILLED AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE. ALSO, MY DASH THAT SHOWS SPEED FUEL, AND SUCH IS ALSO FULLY DIGITAL AND AM WORRIED THIS MIGHT BE EFFECTED TOO AND AT ANY POINT LOCKUP OR DISAPPEAR. PHOTOS SHOW DIFFERENT TIMES ON SCREEN.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CAME OPEN AND WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER WHO IDENTIFIED FAULTY DOOR LATCH. I RESEARCHED ISSUE AND LEARNED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL BACK IN 2015 ON THE DOOR LATCH FOR THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. I CONTACTED RANGE ROVER AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

UPON STARTING MY CAR, IT AUTOMATICALLY STARTS ACCELERATING IN PARKING. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINE TO STOP ACCELERATION WHICH TAKES AROUND 40 SECONDS. ONLY THEN I CAN PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE OR DRIVE MODE. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. UPON TAKING TO DEALERSHIP THEY WERE INFORMED ABOUT THE ABOVE PROBLEM. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND STATED THAT PLUGS NEED TO BE CHANGED. I PAID THEM $650. NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT STAY LIT UP AND THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM WAS GONE. AFTER 16 WEEKS THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AND THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING UPON STARTUP, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS TIME THEY SAID THEY CAR HAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. THIS TIME THEY STATED THE PROBLEM IS WITH OIL LEAKING. THE INVOICE WAS $3600. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR SECOND OPINION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A BIG HOLE IN THE HOSE. I CHECKED ONLINE IF THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS DUE TO HOSE LEAK PROBLEM. THE INTERNET SHOWS RECALLS FOR 2014 RANGE ROVER SPORT MODELS FOR HOLES IN HOSES. BUT WHEN I ENTER MY VIN NUMBER, NO RECALLS SHOW UP. SELF ACCELERATION SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY LAND ROVER. PLEASE ASSIST ME IN THIS ISSUE, AS THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO JUST ROB ME EVEN AFTER I GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE TPMS LIGHT STAYS ON IN MY CAR.

VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CONTINUOUSLY EMITS MOLD AND MILDEW ODOR EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION USING ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL SPRAYS. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE EVAPORATOR ON RANGE ROVER AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, AND I BELIEVE IT IS DANGEROUS TO OUR HEALTH DUE TO MOLD AND MILDEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO SECURELY LOCK WHEN THE DOOR WAS SHUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAGUAR LAND ROVER FARMINGTON HILLS (LOCATED AT 38200 GRAND RIVER AVENUE, FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48335, (248) 509-2990) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH AND CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V385000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,600.

THERE IS AN NHTSA ARTICLE FOR A RECALL ATTRIBUTED TO A FRONT SIDE AIRBAG WHICH AFFECTED VEHICLES BUILT FROM MAY 9, 2012 THROUGH MARCH 15, 2013. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2013-2014 MODEL YEAR RANGE ROVERS. WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON, I WAS IMMEDIATELY CONCERNED AND RUSHED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE INSPECTED. UPON DEALER INVESTIGATION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. OFTEN THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON. OTHER TIMES, THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN TURN OFF AND FINALLY AT ODD TIMES IT WILL REMAIN OFF. I WAS INFORMED BY A DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2013-14 MODEL YEAR RANGE ROVERS HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER HAS LIMITED THE ORIGINAL RECALL TO 3,912. WHILE I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THEM RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PART WHICH I WAS INFORMED WILL TAKE OVER 3 WEEKS TO RECEIVE. THIS IS THE SECOND FULL WEEK.

WHILE DRIVING HOME YESTERDAY MY DRIVER DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE GOING DOWN HWY 167 SOUTH. ( I KNOW THE DOOR WAS SHUT! IT WAS LOCKED WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR) WHILE DRIVING THE REST OF THE WAY HOME HOLDING THE DRIVER DOOR SHUT ! BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T CLOSE!( NOT EVEN THE SOFT SHUT DOOR CLOSE) I GOT HOME AND RESEARCH FOR RECALLS OR SAFETY ISSUES... THERE IS A RECALL BUT, SAYS IT WAS DONE A YEAR AGO! BUT, APPARENTLY THE RECALL PART OR SOFTWARE DIDN'T WORK! I ALMOST FELL OUT OF THE SUV YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING!

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. MY EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS BUCKLED IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SEAT. MY WIFE WAS LOADING GROCERIES IN THE TRUNK. SOME ITEMS SHIFTED AS SHE WAS LOADING THEM. THESE ITEMS MADE CONTACT WITH THE BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE WALL OF THE TRUNK THAT CONTROL THE INCLINE/DECLINE OF THE REAR SEATS. THE BUTTON WAS ACTIVATED AND THE SEAT MY DAUGHTER WAS SEATED IN STARTED TO DECLINE. SHE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO RESIST THE DECLINE AND THE SEAT FORCED HER TO NEAR HORIZONTAL BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO REVERSE THE SWITCH. SHE ESCAPED INJURY, BUT IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT AN INJURY COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS HAD THE SEAT DECLINED FURTHER. THESE BUTTONS NEED TO BE PROTECTED IN SOME FASHION TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ENGAGEMENT.

MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 40MPH AT A STRAIGHT PATH ON CITY ROADS WITH NO OBSTACLES OR DETOUR WHEN AT AN INSTANT THE VEHICLE'S DRIVE MODE LOGO ON THE SHIFT KNOB BEGAN TO BLINK CONTINUOUSLY FOLLOWED BY SYSTEM ERROR CODE WARNINGS FLASHING ON THE ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN AND DRIVER SCREEN AND FULL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. WITH COMPLETE SHUT DOWN INCLUDING LOSS OF ALL ELECTRONICS ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE FAILURE THEREAFTER CAUSING THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKES TO ACTIVATE AND LOCKING THE WHEELS. AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE CAME TO A VIOLENT AND SUDDEN STOP RESULTING IN A LOAD GRINDING NOISE COMING OFF THE ENGINE BAY. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START DUE TO NO RETURN OF ANY ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE SYSTEMS ELECTRONICS INCLUDING EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, WHICH TOOK A FEW TRIES BEFORE POWER AND VEHICLE ENGINE ENGAGED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME COMPLETE VEHICLE FAILURE AND SHUT DOWN REPEATED ONLY AFTER 200 YARDS FROM THE INITIAL FAILURE RESULTING IN TOW SERVICE HAVING TO BE CALLED OUT. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST NOR THE SECOND RECURRENCE, IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSE AND CORRECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED LAND ROVER DEALER. WHICH IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH IN REGARDS TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. TO DATE THE CAUSE OF CONTINUED FAILURE IS UNKNOWN.

I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU ABOUT A FLAW IN THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSE MECHANISM ON MY 2014 RANGE ROVER SPORT. AFTER ACCIDENTALLY GETTING MY THUMB CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AND IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO WATCH AS THE AUTO CLOSE MECHANISM PULLED THE DOOR CLOSED COMPLETELY BEFORE IT WOULD RELEASE & CRUSHING MY THUMB TO THE POINT WHERE I LOST MY FINGERNAIL AND NEEDLESSNESS TO SAY, SUFFERED SEVERE PAIN IN THE PROCESS. IT WAS CLEAR IN THE SECOND OR TWO THAT IT TOOK THE DOOR TO CLOSE COMPLETELY AND TRYING TO OPEN IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES, THERE WAS NO CHANCE IT WAS GOING TO OPEN UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE CLOSER SHOULD OBVIOUSLY RELEASE WHEN THE HANDLE IS PULLED OR RECOGNIZE WHEN THERE IS RESISTANCE AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION....UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 11/9/2015*JS

I PURCHASED MY NEW VEH IN MAY OF 2014. FROM THAT TIME UNTIL NOVEMBER, MY VEH DROVE/SHIFTED SMOOTH. I TOOK MY VEH IN FOR ITS 1ST SERVICE ON NOV. 25TH, 2014 AND AT THAT TIME THEY PERFORMED A TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE. SINCE LEAVING WITH MY VEH, I NOTICED IT DROVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IT SHIFTED HARD, CLUNKED INTO GEAR & NO LONGER DRIVES LIKE A PREMIUM, NEW VEHICLE. I ADVISED MY SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX] A FEW DAYS LATER. AT THAT TIME HE SCHEDULED AN APT TO BRING IN & CHECK IT OUT. I ARRIVED FOR MY APT ON DEC 16TH, HAD THE SERVICE ADVISOR DRIVE WITH ME SO I COULD SHOW HIM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL THAT MY VEH WAS "READY TO BE PICKED UP". I ASKED "DOES THAT MEAN IT IS FIXED?" HE REPLIED, "AT THIS TIME, WE & LAND ROVER ARE AWARE OF YOUR CONCERN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO REMEDY/FIX AT THIS TIME." THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THERE WAS A KNOWN FIX/REPAIR. I PICKED MY VEH UP, & SINCE THEN, IT DRIVES EVEN WORSE. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE DEPT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY IT IS "SAFE TO DRIVE", THAT I DO NO FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. IN THE MORNINGS, THE SHIFTS ARE SO VIOLENT THAT I FEEL LIKE I AM DOING FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA (REP:[XXX]: 800.452.4827 EXT. [XXX]0) SEVERAL TIMES, HE STATES THE SAME THING, "LAND ROVER IS AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX AT THIS TIME". IN MY OPINION, THIS VEHICLE IS CLASSIFIED AS A "LEMON" BECAUSE I CANNOT OPERATE IT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR & FEEL SAFE, & THE DEALERSHIP/CAR MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY/FIX NOR CAN THEY TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. (I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE NOW FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS & THINK THE TIME FRAME I HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR IS MORE THAN REASONABLE, WHICH IS WHY I AM PROCEEDING NOW WITH FURTHER ACTION). THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENS. MY LEFT ELBOW WAS RESTING ON THE DOOR WITH JUST THE WEIGHT OF MY ELBOW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FEEL MY ELBOW DROP DOWN AND A GUST OF WIND. THE DOOR OPENED MAYBE AN INCH BEFORE CLOSING BACK UP AGAIN. THE DOOR QUICKLY CLOSES FROM EITHER THE WIND OR THE SOFT CLOSE DOOR MECHANISM. *TR

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE GOING APPROX. 2 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST THAT IT JUMP ONTO THE CURB AND HIT A TREE. LUCKILY, I DID NOT HIT A PERSON OR ANOTHER CAR. HOWEVER, MY BRAND NEW CAR IS NOW IN THE BODY SHOW AND IS ESTIMATED TO COST AT LEAST $40K. IT COMPLETELY DAMAGED THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. ITS MIND BOGGLING TO ME HOW THE SPEED ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT SO FAST. NOTE THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN BECAUSE IT IS IN THE BODY SHOP. ALSO, IT IS THE RANGE ROVER SPORT 2014 (THAT OPTION WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SELECTION SO I JUST CHOSE RANGE ROVER 2014). *TR

I HAVE AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE WITH LAND ROVER RELATING TO THE ENGINE / TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT AND THE NEED FOR AN O2 SENSOR TO BE FITTED TO THE VEHICLE. LAND ROVER (SOUTH WEST FREEWAY, HOUSTON) HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO A) SOURCE THE O2 SENSOR B) ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING CORRECTLY C) GIVE ME A DATE WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE.

OUR 2014 RANGE ROVER SPORT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR DEACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY DURING MULTIPLE TRIPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER 7-12 MINUTES THE INDICATOR LIGHT NEAR THE SUNSHADE BUTTON WILL ILLUMINATE TO NOTE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED OR IS NOT OPERATIONAL; EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER IS SITTING CORRECTLY AND MAINTAINING CONSTANT WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. MOVING AROUND THE SEAT OR SHIFTING WEIGHT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER WILL NOT EXTINGUISH THE INDICATOR LIGHT; HOWEVER BRIEFLY UNBUCKLING THE SEAT BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND THEN QUICKLY BUCKLING THE SEAT BELT WILL CAUSE THE INDICATOR LIGHT TO SHUT OFF FOR 7 TO 12 MINUTES. AFTER THIS UNBUCKLING AND BUCKLING PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AGAIN. THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THIS VEHICLE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS. LAND ROVER ALSO NEVER MENTIONED TO ME THAT THIS ISSUES HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER RANGE ROVER VEHICLES. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS SEVERELY UNDERILLUMINATED. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE DAY AND THERE IS NO OTHER VISUAL OR AUDIO QUEUE TO THE DRIVER THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED. THIS IS TROUBLING BECAUSE YOU MAY NEVER NOTICE THE ISSUE UNLESS IT OCCURS AT NIGHT, BUT EVEN THEN IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THE DARK.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SIDE-VIEW MIRROR EXTERIOR OBSTRUCTING HIS VIEW WHEN TURNING LEFT DUE TO THE LOCATION AND THE SIZE OF THE MIRROR.

I WANTED TO INFORM YOU OF A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH 2014 RANGE ROVERS THAT MAY EITHER CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR STRAND SOMEONE MANY MILES FROM CIVILIZATION! I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE ROTARY SHIFTER WOULD NOT POP UP AS IT WAS STUCK DOWN AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN DRIVE! I HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE SO IT WOULD NOT START WHEN THE START/STOP BUTTON WAS PUSHED! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. MY CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING IT WILL BE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS TO REPAIR. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR ACTIVATES AND DEACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY DURING A SINGLE TRIP WITH A SINGLE PASSENGER. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER 45 MINUTES INTO A TRIP DRIVING A STEADY 75 MPH, THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO NOTE THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOW DEACTIVATED AND WILL REMAIN THIS WAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 4-HOUR TRIP. THIS OCCURS DESPITE THE FACT THAT PASSENGER IS SITTING AS SHE SHOULD, NOT MOVING ABOUT, AND WEIGHS 120 POUNDS. NO AMOUNT OF MOVING AROUND OR SITTING STILL CHANGES THE DEACTIVATION LIGHT. UNDOING THE SEAT BELT AND REFASTENING WILL OCCASIONALLY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO SHUT OFF FOR 10 OR 15 MINUTES, BUT IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN AND STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. ON SHORTER, LOCAL TRIPS THAT LAST AROUND A HALF HOUR AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, MEANING THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO LAND ROVER CHICAGO TWICE, AND THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE OR ASSIST FURTHER. LAND ROVER CORPORATE ALSO CLAIMS OPERATION IS NORMAL. YET, NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THE AIRBAG PROTECTION IS INTERMITTENT, WHAT WEIGHT YOU MUST BE TO RECEIVE AIRBAG PROTECTION, OR WHAT IS CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO CHANGE ITS MIND 45 MINUTES INTO A TRIP. NOR CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY THE SAME PASSENGER HAS AIRBAG PROTECTION DURING LOCAL TRIPS BUT NOT ON LONGER TRIPS AT FASTER SPEED. *TR

START/STOP FEATURE SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN WHEN STOPPED. ENGINE RESTARTS UPON RELEASE OF BRAKE PEDAL. CAR LURCHES FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTS. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN A PEDESTRIAN COLLISION. PEDESTRIAN WAS CROSSING AGAINST GREEN LIGHT. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTED NEARLY RESULTING IN UNAVOIDABLE COLLISION WITH PEDESTRIAN. START/STOP SYSTEM CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED.
