Safety Issue:

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with 20-inch, 21-inch, or 22-inch wheels. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) recommended pressure has been set incorrectly in the instrument cluster.

Potential Risk:
Drivers may unknowingly operate the vehicle with low tire pressure, possibly causing tire tread separation, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

leaking coolant onto the Turbocharger. My coolant light has been coming on often for the past year or so. A month after I top off coolant my Warnings light indicates low coolant. I’ve been to Land Rover Range Rover multiple times with this issue, I was told there is no issue and they top it off and tell me it’s good to go, a month later same issue. I’ve noticed there has been a recall on this matter for 2019-2021 Land Rover Ranger Rover PHEV but not on Range Rover sport 2021 even though there has been many complaints about this. I went in today and I was not talking no for an answer and finally they check and as I had suspected coolant is leaking onto turbocharger. I will attach a photo that the technician from Jaguar Land Rover Fort Lauderdale has uploaded to the Service Status Tracker link, there you will see that it is the same issue that the recall was on for Land Rover Range Rover sport PHEV vehicles Recall no. 23V221000. They have not added my specific Range Rover Sport to the recall.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Potential Consequences:

I was driving the car on March 11th 2022, at around 10pm when the car suddenly lost power, while driving in a rural area of Interstate 5 in northern California when the vehicle lost power, I was unable to see anything at all and had to pull to the shoulder unsure of what was on the shoulder. Dash display stated "headlight detected" and the vehicle shut off. Everything was off including, power, lights, engine, and the vehicle was unresponsive for 30 minutes. After about 30 minutes, the car started up and I decided to drive it. Furthermore, after about 1.5 miles the issue repeated and the car shut off again. Car was off for about 5 minutes, at this point I decided not to drive the car as I felt it was dangerous. The night of March 11th, the vehicle was towed to the nearest Land Rover/Range rover dealership and was diagnosed on Monday the 14th. The dealership diagnosed the vehicle with a defective battery. The battery was replaced and I was assured that the technician was certain the issue is resolved, and they have experienced it with other Range rover sports in the past year. I picked up the vehicle on March 16, 2022. Today, March 19, 2022, while driving the vehicle around 1pm the vehicle, the dashboard displayed “headlight fault detected” and the vehicle was once again shut off, including all the electronics. I do not consider this incident to be as dangerous as it was during daylight and near my house. However, the earlier incidents were very hazardous as it occurred at night, with no vehicle lighting or street lighting in an unfamiliar area. I am not confident driving this vehicle at all, as it could lose power at any moment. Thankfully in this time, the vehicle was in a safe area, but this incident could certainly have happened in the middle of a turn, in an area with no shoulder, or in a construction zone. All of which would dramatically increase the risk of significant injury.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

Incident 1 I purchase my vehicle from Jaguar Land Rover Rosenthal Chantilly VA, a new Range Rover sport( one of the top-line models of Range Rover 100K+) , and it’s just 5 months only 3000 miles. One day (Thursday, Jun 10) car suddenly stop in the middle of the road with a gearbox faulted message, I can’t move a car from the park to neutral or drive mode. The local Sheriff had to call the towing guy to move a car from the road as it was in the middle of the road. I drop the car at Worst Jaguar Land Rover Rosenthal Chantilly Dealership on the East Coast. Chantilly VA ( based on my experience). I left a car on Thursday night in heavy rain, Friday morning I call them, visited the dealership to explain the problem, show the car to a service technician. There was problem with dealership but let’s ignore that & focus on car issue. I complain to corporate range rover, I am not sure what they did but just politely communicate with me. They said that they fix the recall and do something, In car report which does not describe anything than regular inspection..
