ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1ST TIME AFTER CAR WAS PARKED IN COSTCO, LEFT WITH MY DAUGHTER AND ALL OUR GROCERIES AND AFTER A COUPLE IF BLOCKS, WITHOUT ANY SIGN THE CAR SLOWLY DIED, WHILE DRIVNG. IT WAS 9 PM AND WAS THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROAD. DANGEROUS. NOTHING ELECTRICAL WORKED, COULD N CLOSE WINDIWS, PUT NEUTRAL TO MOVE CAR FRIM INTERSECTIONWT HAD IT TOWED TO CAR CENTER AND CHANGED BATTERY. AFTER A COUPLE IF WEEKS LAST THURSDAY EVE, IN MY BUILDING GARAGE INSERTED KEY IN ENGINE, DID NOT TURN ON AT ALL. THE DRIVER DISPLAY SHOWED CHECK SYSTEM AS USUAL AND LIGHTS WERE ON, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN TO VEHICLE CENTER, THEY RECOMMENDED TO TOW IT AGAIN TO DEALER. I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAVE FAMILIES STRANDED IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS EITHER WITH BRAND NEW BOUGHT VEHICLE OR AFTER A COUPLE IF YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT LAND ROVER IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE COMPUTER, SOFTWARE PROBLEM THEY HAVE. AND THEY KEEP CHARGING THOUSANDS TO THE CONSUMERS FOR DEFAULT ISSUES IN THEIR ELECTRICAL, SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

SUSPENSION
REAR DIFFERENTIAL, EXCESSIVE NOISE RESULTING FROM DESIGN FLAW WELL DOCUMENTED BY LAND ROVER. COST OF REPAIR UNREASONABLY HIGH AND IS A SOURCE OF FINANCIAL ABUSE BY REPAIR FACILITIES. ACTUAL COST IS APPROXIMATELY $200 IN PARTS AND 5 HOURS LABOR. REPAIR FACILITIES QUOTES RANGE FROM $2,800 - $9,300 BY IGNORING ANY ALTERNATIVE TO A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT.

MY 2010 LANDROVER LR2 WITH 70K MILES, STARTED MAKING LOUD HUMMING /GRINDING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR END LATE IN 2016 WHEN DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, I CONTACTED LAND ROVER OF OMAHA AND LAND ROVER OF NORTH AMERICA FOR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE. THE ONLY HELP I RECEIVED WAS A QUOTE FOR ABOUT $9300 TO FIX IT. WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD. I NOW HAVE IT IN AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WITH A USED ONE THAT I HOPE LASTS FOR $1800

2010 LR2 WITH 25,900 MILES ON IT DEVELOPED A WHINE IN THE REAR END. DEALER SAYS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REBUILT/REPLACED FOR $2000+. SLIGHTLY OUT OF WARRANTY BY AGE (BUT NOT BY MILEAGE). DEALER SAY'S WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHER CASES FOR THE LR2 THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA OR THE DEALER IS INTERESTED IN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A PERVASIVE ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ISSUE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASENGER SEAT IS BAD. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. THE PART TO ME IS DEFECTIVE. USAGE OF THIS SEAT IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. THIS RESULTS IN THE AIRBAG NOT WORKING IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I WAS LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE AND THERE IS A SIMILIAR ISSUE TO MINE LISTED - 2013 LANDROVER LR2 - WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT IT THEY STATED THAT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

I BOUGHT A 2010 LAND ROVER LR2 FROM THE DEALER LESS THAT 1 YEAR AGO. IT HAD 72,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THE SALES REP AND LAND ROVER SAID THE CAR WAS A "LOANER" CAR FOR CUSTOMERS. THEY SAID IT WAS FULLY MAINTAINED AND SERVICED AT THE APPROPRIATE MILES. IVE ONLY DRIVEN IT 8,000 MILES AND THE DRIVE TRAIN IS NOW HUMMING AND WHIRLING. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THESE LAND ROVER ARE INFAMOUS IN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. MORE THAN ANY OTHER CAR. IN THIS CASE I STRONGLY FEEL LAND ROVER SHOULD AS A COURTESY FIX MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM AND A FLAW IN THESE CARS. THE HUMMING WHIRLY NOISE COMES AS YOU START TO RUN THE CAR AND GETS DUDE AS YOU SPEED UP. IN CONCLUSION THE REPAIR FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
VACUUM PUMP FAILED CAUSING NO BOOST FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER, COMPLETE LOSS OF VACUUM ASSISTANCE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS CONDITION RESULTED IN HARD FEEL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. VEHICLE BRAKING WAS VERY DIFFICULT, VEHICLE RAN THROUGH A RED LIGHT BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A CITY STREET. (SIMILAR LAND ROVER RECALL #P052) NO COMMUNICATION AVAILABLE WITH OCCUPANCY SENSOR CONTROL MODULE, AIR BAG LIGHT STUCK ON AND APPARENTLY MAY OR MAY NOT BE WORKING. MY DEALER IS TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. (SIMILAR LAND ROVER RECALL #P052)

I OWN A LAND ROVER LR2 2008, AND IT STARTED MAKING A HUMMING NOISE FROM THE BACK END STARTING AROUND 50,000 MILES. THE NOISE HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN LOUDER. AFTER CHANGING TIRES, DIFFERENTIAL FLUIDS, AND BRINGING IT TO A MECHANIC (INDEPENDENT), THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM. ONLINE RESEARCH CONFIRMS THIS PROBLEM AS COMMON AMONG THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS FOR THE FAULTY DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM AND IS NOT CORRELATED TO ANY FAULT OF THE OWNER/DRIVER. THE HUMMING NOISE IS LOUDEST WHEN ACCELERATING OR CRUISING. THE SOUND SOFTENS WHEN DE-ACCELERATING OR WHEN TURNING TO THE "RIGHT". CONTINUED USE OF A FAULTY REAR DIFFERENTIAL WILL RESULT IN THE GEARS LOCKING UP AND POSSIBLY LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. FAULTY DIFFERENTIALS ARE NOT THE RESULT OF DRIVING PATTERNS NOR MAINTENANCE NEGLECT. CURRENT RATES TO FIX REAR DIFFERENTIALS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL ARE BETWEEN $3K AND $5K AND LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA DOES NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS PROBLEM IS A PATTERN AND A TREND AND LAND ROVER SHOULD ISSUE AN OFFICIAL RECALL.

2013 LR2 BASE MODEL LURCHED AND ENGINE RPMS SURGED FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO DIES AT SLOW SPEEDS, AND DELAYED CRANKING. HAD IRREGULAR FUEL PRESSURE READINGS, SUSPECTED FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS. AFTER SENSOR WAS REPLACED, STILL HAD TROUBLE AND LAND ROVER ENDED UP REPLACING MY ENGINE AT 51000 MILES, ON A CAR THAT WAS 2 YEARS OLD. SERVICE NOTES ALSO SAY," B OPEN CAMP Q511 CAMP CAMPAIGN PARTS # 45835 RECALL DELAYED AT THIS TIME? NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS?

WITH 20,000 MILES AND 4 YEARS AND NOT UNDER WARRANTE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND REPORTED A LOUD NOISE, AFTER 2 DAYS AT THE SHOP THEY TOLD ME IN MIAMI THAT THE CAR WAS FINE, I REQUESTED THE SERVICE MAN TO DRIVE WITH ME AND SHOWED HIM THE REAR NOISE WAS NOT NORMAL, HE AGREE THEN HE QUOTED ME OVER $3,000 TO REPAIR THE REAR TRANSMISSION, AFTER TWITTING TO LAND ROVER AND FILLING A COMPLAINT THEY CAL THE DEALER AND AGREE TO DO THE REPAIR, THEN THE DEALER ONLY REPLACE A GEAR FOR $300.00 INSTEAD OF THE WORK THEY HAVE QUOTED; SOMEBODY SHOULD GET AN ATTORNEY AND REQUEST A CLASS ACTION TO REPLACE THE REAR TRANSMISSION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
REAR DIFFERENTIAL - NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD STARTED TO MAKE HUMMING NOISE AND IT SEEMS THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. LAND ROVER SHOP CHECKED AND SAID THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE TIRES. REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES ($1500) AND STILL THE NOISE REMAINED. GOT IT CHECKED FROM TWO OTHER LAND ROVER SHOPS AND BOTH REACHED THE SAME CONCLUSION - REAR DIFFERENTIAL / BEARING FAILURE!! MY LR2 HAS NEVER GONE OFF-ROAD. I CALLED THE LAND ROVER DEALER AND HE QUOTED $8900 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT!! UNBELIEVABLE!! ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM LR2 OWNERS ARE FACING. LAND ROVER MUST PUT A RECALL AND FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY TO RETAIN THEIR REPUTATION!!
