UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED A STRESS CRACK IN THEIR LAND ROVER'S WINDSHIELD. WE HAVE HAD TWO LAND ROVER SPORTS, 2013 AND 2015, AND BOTH HAVE HAD STRESS FRACTURES FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT RESULTED IN HUGE CRACKS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND SIDE TO SIDE IN THE COURSE OF ONE DAY THAT ARE EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE PEOPLE AT OUR LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP HAD A REP FROM A-1AUTO GLASS IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS LOOK AT IT WHILE HE WAS THERE. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A BREAK AT THE TOP AND SURMISED THAT IT WAS FROM A ROCK. HOWEVER, THE CAR WASN'T DRIVEN AND HAD BEEN PARKED IN OUR HOUSE MILES AND MILES FROM ANY ROAD TRAFFIC. THOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT CRACKS CAN OCCUR OVER TIME, WE HAVE A COMPARISON--FORTUNATELY OR UNFORTUNATELY-- OF AN ACTUAL ROCK CHIP RIGHT ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE RESULT IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT, A CENTRAL STRIKE WITH RADIATING LINES AND A DISCERNIBLE POINT OF IMPACT. HAVING THE SAME STRESS FRACTURE AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE ON NOT ONE, BUT TWO LAND ROVERS IS REALLY BEYOND COINCIDENCE. FORGET THAT THESE WINDSHIELDS COST $1400 TO REPLACE. THE FACT THAT A STRIKE THAT WAS APPARENTLY SO TINY THAT A PICTURE HAD TO BE TAKEN AND ENLARGED TO FIND THE POINT OF IMPACT WOULD CREATE IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS A COMPLETE BISECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD FROM SIDE TO SIDE IS UNCANNY. NOT ON ONE CAR. BUT ON TWO CARS OF THE SAME MODEL LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ON THESE WINDSHIELDS THAT RENDERS THEM VERY UNSAFE. WE ARE HAVING IT LOOKED AT INDEPENDENTLY AND WILL UPLOAD PICTURES AND VIDEO FROM THOSE INTERVIEWS HERE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED THE 2010 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT HSE AUG. 2015, IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED ILLUMINATING (ON A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN OFF A COUPLE OF DAYS) ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO...IN THE LAST MONTH I TOOK TO MECHANIC THAT SPECIFICALLY SPECIALIZE IN RR, I GOT SEVERAL DIAGNOSES WITHIN THE 4 TO 6 HOURS I WAS THERE...ONE DIAGNOSIS WAS POSSIBLE OXYGEN SENSOR THEN THE OTHER WAS POSSIBLE HOLES IN A CERTAIN TUBE WHICH WAS SEALED BUT DIGNOIS STILL WASN'T FOUND COMPLETELY 100 PERCENT. ..WELL A WEEK LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON...WELL SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE AS TO HOW MANY RR OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE...NOW I'M HIGHLY CONCERNED ABOUT WAS THERE A PRIOR RECALL... THE LR BRAND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLICABLE AND HIGH QUALITY ORGANISATION BUT I DO BELIEVE THEY FOCUSED TO MUCH ON THE "PRETTY" COSMETICS OF TRUCK AND THE FOCUS WAS NOT ON THE MECHANICS.. AND REALLY IT WAS TOO MANY UNNECESSARY "BELLS AND WHISTLES" ADDED TO TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO TAX FOR LURXY PRICES THAT THE TRUCK JUST SIMPLY CAN'T HANDLE..

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WITHIN THE FIRST WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP FAILED TO REENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AFTER THE ECO FEATURE TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. ECO FEATURE TURNS THE CAR OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC OR A STOP SIGNAL TO SAVE FUEL ETC. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL BEING PUSHED AND THE CAR DOES NOT GO. THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. THIS TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO DO AND CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.I HAVE CONTACTED THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID HE HAS HEARD THIS HAPPEN TO OTHERS BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX YET.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. AFTER BEING STOPPED, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE SEEMED TO MALFUNCTION AND THE CAR WAS STUCK ON THE FREEWAY WITH TRAFFIC MOVING AROUND THE CAR, CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE VIN WAS PART OF A GROUP OF VINS THAT RECEIVED BAD SOFTWARE THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO OPERATE NORMALLY AND IT WAS ULTIMATELY TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED CERTAIN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTING ON THE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP. *TR

THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ENGINE
MY WIFE BROUGHT IN OUR 2010 LAND ROVER/RANGE ROVER SPORT: SUPERCHARGED. IT WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE. WE WERE INFORMED BY MAINLINE THAT THE DIAGNOSIS IS AS FOLLOWS: THE ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO NO COOLANT BEING IN THE ENGINE. WE ALWAYS HAD THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AT MAINLINE LAND ROVER SINCE OUR ACQUISITION OF THE SAME. THERE WAS NEVER ANY INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MALFUNCTIONING OR ABOUT TO MALFUNCTION (I.E. SMOKE, ODOR, ELECTRONIC DISPLAY/INDICATOR, RESIDUE OF COOLANT, LEAK, OR CHANGE IN OPERABLE). THIS FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE TO MOVE HAPPENED IN AN INSTANT AND WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR INDICATION. WE HAVE CONSULTED SEVERAL CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALISTS INCLUDING A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE IN AUTOMOTIVE SCIENCE WHO WORKS FOR ANOTHER LUXURY VEHICLE RETAILER. ALL OF THE AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONAL, UNANIMOUSLY CONCLUDE, THAT THIS DIAGNOSIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. THEY HAVE CONSIDERED ALL SCENARIOS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL SYSTEM OF THE 2015 RANGE ROVER SPORT DOES NOT ALLOW THE USER TO APPROPRIATELY FILL THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL WITHOUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF AFTER JUST EVERY COUPLE OF GALLONS. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW THAT THE TANK IS FULL WITHOUT FILLING THE TANK TO THE POINT THAT GAS SPILLS OUT NECK OF THE GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM. LAND ROVER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE FUEL TANK AND THEY HAVE REPRODUCED THE PROBLEM EVER TIME THEY HAVE TESTED IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT MANY RESETS OF THE PUMP AND ULTIMATELY SPILLING FUEL TO KNOW THAT THE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CASE TO LAND ROVER CORPORATE OFFICES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AT THIS TIME. *TR
