2010 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT Recalls, Complaints & Safety

See attached document for complaint

I have tried making multiple appointments at the dealership in mobile alabama to get this recall taken care of after 2 attempts I took it to the Nashville dealership. The first attempt in mobile I called before driving over an hour away to the appointment and they didn't have the appointment on there schedule when I had scheduled over a month in advance and the second time I called and they did not having parts in stock even though I made an appointment. I took it to Nashville dropped it off for 5 days while visiting when I came back the recall for the fuel tank still had not been done nor was I notified as to why. They did another recall and it was supposed to be finished by 8am the day I picked it up I wasn't able to leave the dealership until around 3pm due to their negligence and miscommunication still without the recall I brought it in for completed. Now there is a fuel smell and I now have tried making an appointment again with the mobile alabama dealership and they want me to leave it there for days to be completed and suggested I rent a car because they cannot loan a vehicle when this recall is only supposed to take a day.

Hello, i have 2010 Land Rover Range Rover sport. 4 weeks ago i smell gas and i saw error code about gas cap. I purchased 2 gas cap and replaced it but i keep smelling gas. I took the car to shop and mechanic confirmed gas leak. I call LandRover customer service and i talk to Debbie and Tiffany. I told them about upcoming gas leak recall and they told me they couldn't help me before official recall announcement. I took the car to Landrover dealer in Alexandria Virginia and i talk to Ash and he told me the same thing to wait until offical recall. I don't know why we wait until October 8, 2021 if gas leak is fire hazard. NHTSA i really appreciate for your help and thank you for your time. Have a blessed day.

I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR BASED ON THIS NOTICE, AND AM NOW BEING TOLD THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE, WITH NO ETA. I AM EXPERIENCING "LOSS OF USE" OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS SAFETY RECALL, WHILE I AM WAITING FOR THIS PART.

THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A CURRENT RECALL NOTED FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER IN THE DEALERS INITIAL NOTIFICATION IT WAS INDICATED THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE NECESSARY PARTS FOR REPAIR.

THE COOLANT RESERVOIR HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WELL KNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LAND ROVER. THE COOLANT RESERVOIR HAS A LEVEL INDICATOR BUILT INSIDE THE RESERVOIR WHICH GETS SATURATED WITH COOLANT AND DROPS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIR. THEN THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON ON THE DASH GIVING YOU A FALSE READING EVEN THOUGH THE COOLANT IS NOT LOW. FOR THIS THE CAR OWNER WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WHICH COST OVER $200 IN PARTS PLUS LABOR. THE LEVEL INDICATOR COST IS PROBABLE UNDER $5 DOLLARS, BUT IT'S BUILT IN AND UNABLE TO REPLACE JUST THAT. I THINK THIS IS POORLY BUILT BY THE MANUFACTURER OR IS POORLY BUILT THIS WAY FOR CONSUMERS HAVING TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN PARTS AND LABOR.

FUEL LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK FROM A CRACKED COVER.

THE VEHICLE GIVE INCORRECT MILEAGE BEFORE EMPTYING.

I BOUGHT A USED RANGE ROVER SPORT VIN NUMBER SALK2D49AA241247 FROM A SLEAZY SHOP. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE ON PRETENSE FOR THREE DAYS. FIRST DAY I GOT VEHICLE WITHIN 24 HOUR SEVERELY OVER HEATED, COOLANT COMING OUT , CAUSING THROTTLE AND THE RUINATION OF THE ENGINE. ANY OTHER LIKE SITUATION FOR 2010 RANGE ROVER REPORTED. THE VEHICLE IS A GONER. SOMEONE DROVE IT ABOUT ONE HOUR AND WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS GOING ON THE VEHICLE STARTED STEAMING BADLY. PULLED OVER NEVER RAN AGAIN. THE COST OF REPAIR IS MORE THEN THE VALUS OF THE VEHICLE. DID THE DEALER HAVE REASON TO KNOW? ANY LIKE REPORTED INCIDENTS FOR THAT YEAR.

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..

ELECTRICAL FAULT OCCURS RANDOMLY AT ANY SPEED. AIR COMPRESSOR FAILS, TURN SIGNALS FAIL, WINDOWS MALFUNCTION, TPMS WARNING, INFOTAINMENT FAILURE, OCCASIONAL FAILURE OF SUSPENSION STABILIZATION. LOCKS WILL NOT WORK AND ENGINE WILL NOT START BUT IF STARTED ALL OF THE ABOVE HAPPENS BUT ENGINE RUNS NORMALLY. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR. NO SOLUTION. UNPLUGGING WIRING HARNESS UNDER GLOVE BOX WILL RESET AND ALLOW START BUT ISSUE RECURS VERY FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

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

DRIVING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS IN THE EVENING AND LOST POWER IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS FOR ABOUT ONE SECOND. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY WAY HOME WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. EACH TIME MY LIGHTS WENT OUT I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND NEAR THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT HAD A ISSUE SINCE BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY TO LOSE MY HEADLIGHTS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. *TR
