2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport (5 Seat) SUV 4WD

In July 2019 the 2016 Land Rover Discovery sport experienced a failure of the crank shaft pulley that completely destroyed the engine. At time of failure in 2019 car has approximately 96,500 miles. A claim was filed with Land Rover which was denied because they deemed the crank pulley a serviceable part that should have been maintained by car owner. The engine was subsequently replaced with used engine assembly with 60k miles and car placed back into service. January 2022 the same car experienced a crank pully failure on the engine that was replaced in July 2019. Car currently at Land Rover Dealership undergoing forensic evaluation.

The lock actuators in my vehicle (except for the driver door and tailgate) have all failed. It started when my 2016 Land Rover was at approximately 118,000 miles, with the rear driver side door failing first. Then in the last 30 days, the rear passenger side door and the front passenger side door fail to lock or get stuck locked. This causes several safety hazards to include the inability to egress from the vehicle in the case of an emergency. Additionally, I am obviously concerned about vehicle theft. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or other indicators of the issue prior to the failure, the locks just progressively stopped working. I haven't yet had the component inspected by anyone, but I am upset that my safety has been put in danger by these faulty systems and that I will now have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to get it fixed. It must be a frequent problem with these systems because some how three out of the five locks on my vehicle all went out over the course of two months on a relatively low mileage vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH or above, the vehicle started wobbling with contact almost losing control of the vehicle. The wobbling lasted less than a minute before the vehicle would regain normal stability and function. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE, SIX MONTHS APART, THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT SHEARS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR PART PASS THE CENTER HANGER BEARING NEAR 120KM/HR SPEED, THE VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE A TIRES BLEW OFF AND THE VEHICLE BECOME STRANDED. THERE WAS NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES, NO NOISES WHAT SO EVER OR ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM,IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF NO WHERE.THE INDEPENDANT SHOP WERE NOT ABLE TO CONDEMN ANY OTHER PART IN THE VEHICLE, NO CODES WERE PRESENT IN ANY MODULE, THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN DECEMBER 2020, 101000 KM MILEAGE,SECOND TIME IN JULY 2021,MILEAGE 105250 KM. THE DAMAGED THAT THE SECOND INCIDENT MADE WERE VERY SEVERE, BOTH DRIVESHAFTS FAILED FROM THE SAME SPOT, BOTH WERE DEALER PARTS. I HAVE PICTURES,VIDEOS,PHOTOS AND BOTH OLD PARTS.THE DEALER DECLINED THE WARRANTY ON THE PART TOO.

The door will not lock while in motion or at all. The intermittent problem has occurred twice while owning this vehicle. The driver can fall out during driving. The problem was reported to the dealership on three occasions and they could not find a solution they oiled the locking system and it sat overnight and in the morning they were able to shut it. No warnings at all. Similar recall on the Range Rover: Land Rover is recalling about 65,385 of its 2013-2016 Range Rover and 2014-2016 Range Rover Sport SUVs because doors that appear to be closed may not actually be latched, raising the risk that occupants could fall out, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that the vehicle's doors fail to lock when activated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who informed them that their failure was related to many recalls for the year/make/model relating to the door locks. The contact was unable to identify the exact recall however, the VIN was not included in any recalls. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed the VIN was not included in any recalls. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Sport. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the driver’s and passenger’s side air bag modules needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V941000 (Air Bags) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 53,627.

WHEN FILLING UP THE CAR WITH GAS.. THE GAS WILL NOT FLOW AT A FAST RATE. YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS VERY SLOW OR IT WILL OVER FLOW; THE PUMP WILL CUT OFF; OR IT WILL SPIT OUT GAS. THIS IS EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED; TURNED OFF AND NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE BEING USED. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT ANGLES ON THE NOZZLE BUT ITS THE SAME OR WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE ALSO TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS BUT NO LUCK. I HAVE REQUESTED TO GET THIS FIXED AND IT WAS TOLD TO ME ITS NOT ON RECALL. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS BEFORE. I BROUGHT MY CAR NEW IN AUGUST ON 2016.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH LESS THEN 40,000 MILES. NO EXTREME DRIVING, MAINLY CITY DRIVING. NO LIGHTS OR WARNINGS, JUST A RUBBING NOISE. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND OUTSIDE MECHANIC, BOTH CONFIRMED IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. UPON DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, IT WAS THE TURBO CHARGER THAT WENT OUT. COMPUTER READ OUT WAS "TURBO BOOST BUILDING UP PRESSURE". THE MILEAGE WAS AT 47,000 MILES ONLY. I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND REPLACEMENT WAS $4825 NEW OR $3661 FOR REMANUFACTURED. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED OR WOULD FURTHER DAMAGE THE ENGINE. THE PRINTOUT ON MY RECEIPT READ "CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD (TURBO), INTERNAL FAULT SOLENOID REPLACED TURBO/CHARGER/EXHAUST MANIFOLD. REPLACED WASTEGATE SOLENOID."

THE REVERSE LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND 5 AMP FUSE. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE MIGHT BE WITH A FAULT IN THE REVERSE LIGHT SWITCH. THE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION.

IN FEBRUARY I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING OIL. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT HAS TWO HOLES IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID IT WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN LTB00909NAS1. CONSUMERS ARE BEING PUT AT RISK WITH OIL LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO ALL OVER THE CAR. AT NOT FAULT OF THE CONSUMER.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY, AND THE PUMP SHUTS OFF MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE REFUEL PROCESS EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT ANGLES, DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, TRIED TO REFUEL SLOWLY BUT IT STOPS MULTIPLE TIMES.

DEFECTIVE GEAR SELECTOR. DRIVER PARKED THE CAR AND SWITCHED IT OFF. DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS. THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT ANYONE IN THE CAR. THE CAR RAN OVER A STATIONARY MOTORCYCLE AND OVER AND INTO A LOW WALL CAUSING ABOUT $20,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN AUTOMATIC BRAKE WHEN SWITCHED OFF AND EXITED. FROM THE MANUAL: "THE EPB APPLIES AUTOMATICALLY IF THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED IS BELOW 2 MPH (3 KM/H)." THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON JUNE 14, 2018. MY INSURANCE - FARMER' INSURANCE - FILED A CLAIM/COMPLAINT WITH RANGE ROVER, BUT IT WAS DENIED BY RANGE ROVER. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS - IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE ARE LUCKY THAT THE CAR DID NOT DRIVE OVER A PERSON WALKING BEHIND THE CAR. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH RANGE ROVER.

DOOR LATCH DOESN'T ENGAGE, DOOR OPENS FREELY WHILE DRIVING. 2ND TIME REPORTING, NO FEEDBACK! BRAND HAS A ISSUE. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND FIX. IT'S A MANUFACTURING FLAW

RECEIVED US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) NATIONAL HIGHWAY IMPORTANT RECALL THAT MAY AFFECT MY TIRES EMAIL TO ME FROM NHTSA

THE TURBO CHARGER IN MY 2016 LR DISCOVERY SPORT IS BAD AND NOW NEEDS REPLACED, OTHERWISE THERE IS MINIMAL ACCELERATION (ACCELERATION WORSE THAN OF A SMALL COMPACT 4-CYLINDER CAR). IT IS ALSO VERY NOISY DUE TO THE BROKEN PART. IT ONLY HAS 60K MILES ON IT. LEARNED FROM A RESPECTED AUTO BODY SHOP THAT SERVICES HIGH END VEHICLES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

WHEN USING KEYLESS ENTRY, WALKING UP TO DOOR AND OPENING WITHOUT UNLOCKING, THE DOOR LATCH WON'T HOLD CLOSED. CAUSING THE DOOR TO SWING FREELY. I'VE HAD TO TRY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK OR START AND TURN OFF MY TRUCK. AFTER 15-30 MIN, IT WILL USUALLY LATCH. BUT THERE'S NO CONCRETE REMEDY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I DIDN'T REALIZE IT. TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND MY DOOR FLEW OPEN. IT'S SUPER DANGEROUS! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS JUNE 6TH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON IN RANGE ROVERS. LAND ROVER HASN'T BEEN A HELP. YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH TO THEIR MAIN OFFICE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND REPAIRS.

I OWN A RANGE ROVER 1976 DISCOVER SPORT , AND THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM SEEMS TO RESET WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I PAID OVER $55,000 FOR A LUXURY SUV, AND I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO REBOOT AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS CAR USED FROM ELLIOT BAY AUTO BROKERS THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED? SHOULD THEY FIX THIS BEFORE I MAKE AN OFFER?

ENGINE OIL IS LEAKING FROM TURBO DIRECTLY ONTO EXHAUST. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD 15000 MILES. WHEN TRAVELING AND COME TO COMPLETE STOP, STRONG OIL BURNING SMELL IS IS NOTICED INSIDE THE CAR AND OUTSIDE THE CAR, NO FLAMES HAVE BEEN SEEN YET. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 24000 MILES AND IT IS GETTING A LOT WORSE. HIGH POTENTIAL OF FIRE.

WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON IN THE MORNING THE STEREO WAS NOT WORKING AND YOU COULD HEAR CRACKLING. I THEN WAS DROPPING MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL AND WE WERE GOING SLOW BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE SCHOOL ZONE.MAYBE 5-10 MPH I SMELLED SMOKE AND THEN LOOKED BACK AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR WHERE THE READING LIGHT IS IN THE BACK. I HAD TO PARK MY TRUCK AT MY DADS CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I GOOGLED AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF RANGE ROVER HAVE A FAULTY SUNROOF TO WHERE WATER LEAKS CAUSING ELECTRICAL DAMAGE. THIS WAS ALSO WHAT THE RANGE ROVER SPECIALIST TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN HAPPEN. MY TRUCK MODEL HOWEVER HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. BUT THERE ARE OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SUNROOF ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY SOMETHING LAND ROVER VEHICLES HAVE AN ISSUE WITH. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY JUST A MONTH AGO. WHEN I WENT YESTERDAY TO MY DADS HOUSE TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY TRUCK IT WAS COVERED IN MOLD. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH WATER THAT SEEPED THROUGH THE SIDES OF THE CAR. YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE THE MOLD WAS COMING FROM THE SEATBELT HOLES AND SUCH.

2016 RANGE ROVER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MECHANICAL PROBLEM. CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. *LD *JS

SEAT BELT ISSUE: SEAT BELT TO THE 2ND ROW, RIGHT DOOR SIDE ACTIVATING WITH ALTERNATING RED (X) AND GREEN (CHECK MARK) NOT ABLE TO DISCERN THAT MY 10 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR. ON 12/16/19, THE SAME ERROR OCCURRED WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD NEPHEW. ONCE HE EXITED THE CAR, DESPITE NO SEAT BELT BEING IN THE SLOT, THE ALARM KEPT BEEPING SAYING THAT IT WAS AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. TRANSMISSION: THE CAR HAS BEEN "JUMPY" IN TERMS OF TRANSMISSION CHANGES SINCE WE FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAD TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPGRADES WITH THE MOST RECENT IN 10/19 HAVING NO EFFECT. IT NOW IS SHIFTING OUT OF DRIVE OR SPORT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE D (IF IN DRIVE) WILL FLASH AND THERE IS NO ACCELERATION CAPABILITY. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EVENT AND GETTING ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE CAN POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT WITH REAR END INVOLVEMENT GIVEN THAT THERE WAS A CAR CLOSE BEHIND ME TRYING TO ACCELERATE AS WELL. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE SAME RECALL PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED WITH THE 2015 MODEL BUT LAND ROVER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE STATED THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY DO THE DIAGNOSTICS. ON 12/13/19 I CONTACTED LAND ROVER WARWICK RI DUE TO MY CONCERNS AND WAS TOLD TO NOT PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO THE VEHICLE AND TO "GET RID OF IT." ON 12/14/19, I NOTIFIED LAND ROVER OF NORWELL REGARDING TRANSMISSION CONCERNS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES THEY WERE AWARE OF. CAPE COD LAND ROVER ALSO WAS MADE AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION CONCERNS AND THEY WERE THE ONES THAT DID THE LAST COMPUTER UPGRADE WHICH AGAIN DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AS DESCRIBED. PLEASE ASSIST AS THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IS NOW OF CONCERN.

WITHOUT ANY SIGNS AND WARNINGS, MY CAR'S ENGINE LIGHT WAS SUDDENLY ON AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME. WHEN MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED A REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $20,000 BECAUSE OUR CAR (2016 LAND ROVER SPORT) WAS 7000 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY MILEAGE (50,000).

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE N336 IN JULY. MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR HAS SWUNG OPEN IN TRAFFIC 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AS I AM MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS!!!! I HAVE CONTACTED LANDROVER AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED BUT THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM YET. IT HAS BEEN 6 WEEKS SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED. THAT SHOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME!! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN!!!!

WHILE DRIVING DOOR THE HIGHWAY MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR CAME OPEN WITH MY DAUGHTER IN LAW IN THE REAR SEAT AS WELL AS MY 6 MONTH OLD GRANDAUGHTER. WHEN THIS HAPPEN..THE SCREAMING AND HOLLERING FROM THE BACK SEAT CAUSED MY, THE DRIVER, TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER HITTING A SAFETY GUARD RAIL AND DAMAGING MY REAR BUMPER. LAND ROVER REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY COULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LAND ROVER RANGER ROVER SPORT.

WHILE SITTING IN PARK AT IDLE RPM I HEARD A LOUD THUMP FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING AND AN ENGINE OVERHEAT WARNING. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. WHEN CARE ARRIVED AT MECHANICS SHOP THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY LITERALLY FELL OFF THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE FAILURE THAT RESULTED IN TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE ENGINE. ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXTENSIVE VALVE/ENGINE DAMAGE.

CAR WAS PURCHASED AS LAND ROVER CERTIFIED PREOWNED CAR 3/30/2019 AT 35133 MILES. CAR WAS DRIVEN FROM CITY OF BAKERSFIELD TO CITY OF INGLEWOOD/LOS ANGELES ON 5/5/2019 WHEN IT STOPPED AT COSTCO SHOPPING GROUND, WITH MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN READING :SPECIAL PROGRAM OFF". LAND ROVER ROADSIDE SERVICE WAS ACTIVATED, THAT CALLED AAA INDEPENDENT TOWING VEHICLE THAT TOWED THE CAR. ON 5/6/2019 IT WAS TOWED TO LAND ROVER RETAILER HORNBURG IN CITY OF SANTA MONICA. ON 5/8/2019 THE SERVICE LOCATION CENTER TEXTED ME WITH INFORMATION THAT "IT APPEARS THE CAR IS NOT STARTING BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE LINE THAT'S BEEN CUT. THE SENSOR FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT ACTIVATING DUE TO THIS, SO IT WON'T LET THE ENGINE START. WE NEED TO REPLACE THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE THAT HAS BEEN CUT, WHICH WOULD COST $725.46." ON FOLLOW UP TEXTING, THE TECHNICIAN AT LAND ROVER SANTA MONICA WROTE THAT "THE REQUEST FOR REPAIR AUTHORIZATION WAS REJECTED BY LAND ROVER SINCE IT'S OUTSIDE INFLUENCE, NOT A DEFECT OF THE CAR" ON 5/9/2019, HE WROTE AGAIN THAT "FOR A LACK OF A BETTER WORD, WE'D SAY 'MALICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES." HE MAILED A PICTURE OF THE CUT BRAKE LINE, FOLLOWING A VOICE DISCUSS WITH ME, HE INQUIRED IF "I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYBODY THAT CAN DO THAT, HENCE I BECAME SUSPICIOUS, THAT A CPO CAR I JUST BOUGHT WITH CURRENT MILEAGE OF 35971 (DRIVEN ABOUT 600, NO DMV REGISTRATION PLATE NUMBER YET, HOW COULD SUCH BRAKE LINE CUT. THE CAR I DROVE FROM BAKERSFIELD TO LOS ANGELES/INGLEWOOD, IT DID NOT STOP ON THE FREEWAY OF INTERCITY STREET AND I DROVE IT TO A SHOPPING CENTER WHILE IT JUST STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING EXCEPT THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN OF "SPECIAL PROGRAM OFF". I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND OF CPO FROM 35133 MILES PURCHASED 3/30/2019, TO 35971 MILES INCIDENT DATE 5/5/2019.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A FIRMWARE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LOGIC OR AT THE VERY LEAST IF A DOOR IS SENSED AS OPEN AUTOMATICALLY PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK. BACKSTORY....I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2+ YEARS AND HAVE MISTAKENLY PLACED THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE (VIA THE DODGE RAM STYLE PRNDL SELECTOR). WHEN THIS HAPPENS I USUALLY CATCH IT BEFORE I EXIT THE VEHICLE. ADMITTEDLY IT HAS HAPPENED AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN RUN OVER BY MY OWN CAR. THIS IS A HUGELY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

THE CAR FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OR WARNING LIGHT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND YET ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CAR IS UNDER A LEASE WITH APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES ON IT AND IT FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. LAND ROVER OF SUDBURY AND LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA REFUSE TO WARRANTY THE VEHICLE AND CLAIM THE REPAIR WILL COST OVER $35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITH A BEEPING NOISE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO JAGUAR LAND ROVER WEST CHESTER (1568 WEST CHESTER PIKE, WEST CHESTER, PA, (610) 436-0600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO AN ELECTRIC POLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN CAUSING COMPLETE LACK OF STEERING CONTROL BY OPERATOR WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 75MPH. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON STRAIGHT AWAY OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY 565 ALABAMA WITH GRASSY MEDIAN. UPON STEERING WHEEL DETACHMENT, VEHICLE VEERED LEFT AND INTO THE MEDIAN WHERE BRAKES WERE APPLIED UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLID TO A STOP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEDIN EMBANKMENT. NO INJURIES OCCURRED DUE TO LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT.

I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 6 TIMES FOR THE REAR ELECTRIC LIFT GATE OPENING RANDOMLY ON HIGHWAY AND ROADS. I HAVE HAD ITEMS FALL OUT THAT COULD HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT. IT IS KNOW THAT LAND ROVER HAS ISSUES WITH DOORS OPENING AND I NOW AM INCLUDING THE LIFT GATE. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN REVERSE AS INDICATED BY GEAR SHIFT AND DASH YET THE VEHICLE HAS MOVED FORWARD AS IF IT WERE IN DRIVE INSTEAD. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER WITHOUT RESOLVE.

1.) WATER PUMP FAILED AT 21,000 MILES CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. 1 YEAR LATER CYLINDER #1 LOST COMPRESSION IN THE ENGINE MAKING THE CAR INOPERABLE AT 58,000 MILES. DEALER INDICATES THAT THE ONLY POSSIBLE REPAIR OPTION IS A NEW ENGINE AT THE COST OF $21K EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS ACTUALLY BROKEN IN THE CYLINDER. THREE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS HAVE ALL INDICATED THAT THE WATER PUMP IS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF THE FAULT IN THE CYLINDER AS IT MORE THAN LIKELY CRACKED A CYLINDER HEAD WHEN THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING. MY CAR FAILED WITH NO WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET, MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. 2.) THE INTERNAL COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED ON THE CAR, WHICH WOULD NOTIFY THE DRIVER REGARDING SERVICE, ENGINE TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH ANY FAILURES IN THE CAR'S SYSTEMS. DEALERSHIP USED BOILERPLATE PAPERWORK TO COVER UP THAT THE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING TWICE. ON THE PAPERWORK IT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE "SERVICE INTERVAL REMINDERS" WERE RESET. I NOW KNOW IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO UPDATE THIS AS THE JUNE 2017 PAPERWORK SHOWS WHERE LAND ROVER IMPLEMENTED A FIX FOR "MESSAGES - NOT APPEARING IN THE SERVICE CLUSTER." LAND ROVER KNEW THIS FOR OVER A YEAR AND DIDN'T NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO KNOW THAT SERVICE REMINDERS AND SENSORS HAD FAILED ON THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN MISSED MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THE CAR'S OPERATING SYSTEM HAD FAILED. THE END RESULT BEING LAND ROVER IS DENYING ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ISSUES THAT WERE CAUSED BY THE COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THE TECHNOLOGY IS OVER A DECADE OLD AND IS A STANDARD EXPECTATION ON TODAY'S CARS. IF LAND ROVER HAD NOTIFIED THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH A RECALL NOTICE AS SOON AS THEY BECAME AWARE OF THE SYSTEM FAILURE, THEN THERE WOULD BE NO FIGHT REGARDING THE COVERAGE FOR MY ENGINE.

AFTER DRIVING ALL DAY ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3 2017. IT CUT OFF WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO DROP MY FRIEND DAUGHTER AT HER HOUSE. I TURN IT OFF THE ENGINE THEN START MY TRUCK AGAIN BUT WOULDN'T COME OUT OFF PARK. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. TWO DAYS LATER THE MECHANIC CALLED ME AND I WAS TOLD HE HAS TO REPLACE A PART AND IT WAS A ELECTRIC SHORTAGE. MY TRUCK IS ONLY A YEAR OLD AND IT WAS VERY SCARY AND NOT DEPENDABLE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A RANGE ROVER EVOQUE 2016. WHEN MY CAR IS FACING FORWARD ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE IN REVERSE GEAR, THE CAR WILL ROLL FORWARD. WHEN THE CAR IS ON A DOWNWARD BACKWARD SLOPE FACING UPHILL IT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT LAND ROVER CHANGED THE SOFTWARE IN THE 2016 VEHICLE WHICH RESULTS IN THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE MAKES THE CAR INHERENTLY UNSAFE IN THESE SITUATIONS. JAGUAR/LAND ROVER DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TO BE A FAULT BECAUSE IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND IS, THEREFORE, PART OF THE OPERATION OF THIS MODEL.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW MAY 2016. IN SEPTEMBER 2016, WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND THE GEAR DIAL WAS NONOPERATIONAL. THE ISSUE RECURRED IN NOVEMBER 2016 AND AGAIN FEBRUARY 2017. FEBRUARY 2017 WAS EXTREMELY ALARMING AS IT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK. I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING SPACE AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE ISSUE JUST RECURRED AGAIN, TODAY, MARCH 18TH WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH CHILDREN IN IT. I COULDN'T PARK AND I COULDN'T REVERSE. I HAVE TO COAST TO A SAFE AREA, TURN THE CAR OFF AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKES.

DASHBOARD DIMMER SWITCH DOES NOT WORK. MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER IN THE DAYLIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. DEALER STATES THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED.

PULLED INTO PARKING SPOT. PUT CAR IN REVERSE. PRESSED GAS. CAR JUMPED FORWARD AT A FAST SPEED. ROLLED OVER CURB AND THROUGH FENCE. HIT BRAKE. STOPPED AN INCH BEFORE GOING DOWN A 5 FOOT DROP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SUDDENLY THE 'CRITICAL WARNING MESSAGE' AND 'BRAKE' LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR LOST POWER QUICKLY, WITH THE MOMENTUM THE CAR RAN FEW HUNDRED FEET TO STOP. THEN, THE WORD 'GEARBOX FAULT' AND 'BATTERY CHARGE' APPEAR. THE ENGINE STILL RUN, BUT I WAS COMPLETELY STUCK, COULD NOT ROTATE THE GEAR. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN ON AND OFF THE ENGINE AND ROTATE THE GEAR SOME TIME THE 'CRITICAL WARNING MESSAGE' AND 'BRAKE' LIGHTS CAME ON AND SOMETIME THE WORD 'GEARBOX FAULT' AND 'BATTERY CHARGE' CAME ON, BUT STILL COULD NOT ROTATE THE GEAR. AFTER 10 MINS, SUDDENLY, I COULD ROTATE THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAVEL LANE WITH THE HELP OF POLICE OFFICERS. IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES, THE FIRST TIME (7/25/2016) JUST TWO DAYS AFTER I HAD THE CAR (200 MILES). AFTER THREE VISITS, LAND ROVER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED WITH COMPUTER RE-SETTING AT THE FIRST TIME, THEN PART REPLACEMENT AT THE SECOND TIME AND FINALLY COMPUTER SETTING AT THE LAST TIME. NOW, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN ON 10/8/2016 (3000 MILES). I FEEL I AM LUCKY. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ON OUTSIDE LANE ON I-4 (ORLANDO), I COULD GET OUT OF TRAFFIC QUICKLY. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS ON A LOCAL ROAD: SUMTER BLVD. (NORTH PORT), I COULD NOT GET OUT OF TRAVEL LANE, BUT THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD ENOUGH TIME TO STOP, CRASH ALMOST HAPPENED.

TWICE NOW, I HAVE COME OUT OF THE AUTO START/STOP MODE AFTER BEING IDLE. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO LAG ON ENGAGING AND BOTH TIMES MY STEERING HAS BEEN LOST. BOTH TIMES, MY SPEED WAS NOT MORE THAN 5 MPH AND IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS FOR THE CAR'S STEERING TO RETURN. ONCE I WAS TURNING AT A LIGHT AFTER BEING STOPPED AND ONCE IT WAS AT A DRIVE THRU. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ONCE AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT WILL BE ON IT'S WAY AGAIN.

WHILE DAD WAS LOADING CAR FOR VACATION, 3 YEAR OLD GRANDSON SITTING ON RUNNING BOARD WHEN IT RETRACTED. TINY FINGERS NARROWLY ESCAPED AS RETRACTION OF BOARDS HAVE NO SAFETY CLEARANCE.

I HAVE HAD A 2016 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT FOR 6 DAYS NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 50MPH. DURING THIS SPEED, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN A HIGHER GEAR AND THAT RESULTS IN INTERMITTENT JERKS. THIS MAKES THE RIDE VERY UNEVEN. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY WHEN THE SPEED IS ABOVE 50MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM WITH EVERY DISCOVERY SPORT. THEY SHOULD STOP SELLING SUCH VEHICLES TILL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED OR LET THE BUYER KNOW THAT THIS IS CASE WHILE SELLING THE VEHICLE.
