2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Complaint Log

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.

While driving on the interstate in good weather on flat even ground the suspension fault warning came on. Maximum speed recommended 30 mph. Pull over, stop the car, turn off the engine and investigate. Car is still at operating height, no blown air suspension components. Get back in, start the car…. No warning, suspension button on console adjusts the suspension to access height, clearance, etc… Driving home it happens again. No DTC readable from my scanner, no idea if it is a sensor or bad connection.

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?

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.

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).
