2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Complaint Log

Vehicle experienced sudden and complete shutdown while driving immediately after crossing railroad tracks. Dashboard warning displayed “battery failure.” Vehicle would not restart and would not shift into neutral, leaving it immobilized in traffic. Police department called and traffic was managed by 2 police officers. Vehicle was stuck on roadway and required manual override procedure (unknown to owner) to shift into neutral before being pushed off roadway. Vehicle was towed 250 miles. Dealership has indicated hybrid battery/system failure and ordered replacement battery. Concern: Sudden total loss of propulsion and inability to shift into neutral creates serious roadway safety hazard. If this had occurred seconds earlier, vehicle could have been immobilized directly on railroad tracks. Request investigation into hybrid battery/system failures causing sudden total shutdown without safe-mode capability.

Constant loss of coolant, overheating. Coored. Crossover pipes replaces. Pressure tests to coolant system come back as normal, but vehicle requires frequent topping up and dashboard warning lights. Car overheated on highway requiring immediate stopping and tow. After removing starter, pooling found while under pressure on shield under turbo manifold. Exact location of leak is tbd. These repairs should be covered by a recall for how frequently they occur. The MHEV turbo is generating too much heat for all of the plastic parts.

- I purchased my car in October 2022 and I have had a Coolant level low notification on my dashboard in December 2022. I then filled the coolant myself. - The warning notification showed up again after about 3 weeks in January 2023. I then took it to Land Rover Frisco Service and Parts Center on 1/25/2023 to get it get it inspected. They said they found 'Turbo Coolant Inlet and Outlet Pipes Leaking, Replace Turbo Coolant INLET Pipe and Replace Turbo Outlet Coolant Pipe' (exact words from the service note). - However, the SAME issue came back again after about 6 months, when I call them back for repair - they said I will have to pay it out of my pocket since my warranty has run out. - I asked them how much the cost would be, and they said to diagnose they would charge me $260 and then whatever amount the repair service would cost. As I could not afford it, I started re-filling the coolant whenever the car is giving me the 'coolant low' warning sign. And I have been doing that for the past good year or so. - I now some vehicles with the same year and model have been re-called for the specific safety issue that I am experiencing, However my vehicle is not part of the re-call. - I called them Land Rover this morning to request if they can fix my car for free, and they said since this car is not part of the re-called cars, I will have to pay for the fix. - I strongly believe this car should be part of the re-call as well.

On Monday, October 28, 2024, while driving on [XXX] [XXX] from McKinney, TX, to Irving, TX, a red oil can light appeared on my vehicle's dashboard. Shortly after, the car struggled to accelerate. I pulled over, and white smoke began coming through the dashboard vents. Noticing a strong smell, my daughter and I exited the vehicle. We observed fluid leaking on the ground and smoke intensifying. Soon after, flames engulfed the vehicle's undercarriage. The entire car was consumed by fire. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Engine makes noise even after taking to service 3 times with no solution Key remote operation stops working because of bad electronics

The infotainment system system that controls the AC RADIO DEFROST HEATED SEATS, SETTINGS, DRIVEABILITY SETTINGS does not turn on. This is my wifes car and she has to drive sometimes with no defrost while its raining and not AC/Heat control while the weather is cold or super hot in LA. The problem has been diagnosed by the dealer and there has been a recall issued for this specific recall, just not for my vin number. So Land Rover Corporate refuses to fix it or provide any financial help. The car has 45,000miles and we are the original owner. I believe our vin should also be included in the recall of the Land over Sport Infotainment system. I believe our model was not included because it was a diesel and not many range rover sport diesels are in the States,.

The engine's cooling pipes melt leading to the cooling system failing. This then overheats the engine which leads to dangerous driving conditions. This has been a known issue in other Range Rover VINs and also affects this one.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN TOUCHING THE DOOR HANDLES, THE CAR DOES NOT START WHEN TRYING TO USE PUSH TO START. GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE STARTED THEREBY STRANDING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY DURING THE COLD WINTER MONTHS.

RANGE ROVER HST WAS DRIVING IN FREEWAY WITH HIGH WINDS, AND THE LIFT GATE SPOILER JUST GOT DETACHED AND CAME OFF. WE BELIEVE THAT THE QUALITY OF THE PART USED WAS SUBPAR, AND IT SHOULD STAND THE HIGH WINDS, OTHERWISE, THERE MUST BE A WARNING THAT TELLS US THAT WE CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES.

HUMMING NOISE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES. ALSO STALLS FOR A SECOND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES. EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME IT'S DUE TO NEEDING AN UPDATE. THE ISSUE STARTED APPROX 8 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2019 RANGE ROVER SPORT. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 3/29/2019 AND IN 7.5 MONTHS I ONLY HAVE 4,194 MILES SO IT SHOWS I DON'T DRIVE MUCH. I TOOK MY FIRST ROAD TRIP TO VISIT MY SON AND I MUST SAY I ONLY STOP FOR GAS ONE TIME. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL I GOT NEAR RICHMOND VIRGINIA AND MY LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY COOLANT WAS COMING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR A TOW AND MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO LANDROVER OF RICHMOND. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT A PEBBLE OR ROAD DEBRIS 3CM WIDE HIT THE RADIATOR AND CAUSED THE COOLANT TO COME AND IN TURN FRIED THE ENGINE. THIS IS CRAZINESS FOR A VEHICLE THAT COST $80K. I'M INSURED BY PROGRESSIVE AND MY VEHICLE IS NOW DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE & RADIATOR WORTH $33K. I'M AT A LOST RIGHT NOW. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO WHAT THE RECENT RECALL SHOWS, BUT MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED. REALLY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

ALL THE SCREENS (3) WITHIN THE CAR AS SUBJECT TO FREEZING, OR COMPLETE FAILURE. THIS INCLUDES THE MAIN SPEEDOMETER SCREEN, THE CLIMATE CONTROL SCREEN, THE ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN, THE BLUETOOTH FUNCTION, THE LANE CHANGE ASSISTANCE WITHIN THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS. THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT IN ALL RANGE ROVERS, RANGE ROVER SPORTS AND VELARS, AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT HAS EXISTED FOR OVER 2 YEARS YET LAND ROVER CONTINUE TO SELL THE CARS WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE ISSUE TO BUYERS AND AS OF TODAY, HAVE NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, AS CONFIRMED BY LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA. THESE FAULTS CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, WITH NO PATTERN, AND NO WARNING. AS AN EXAMPLE, WHEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SCREEN FREEZES, THE WINDSCREEN CANNOT BE CLEARED IF FOGGED UP AS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS INACCESSIBLE, WHICH CAN BE HIGHLY DANGEROUS IN BAD WEATHER. LAND ROVER'S ONLY ADVICE IS TO "PULL OVER, SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN, WAIT APPROX 10 MINS, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE", WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE ON A FREEWAY ON A COLD DARK NIGHT.
