  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.

  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.

  MY 2010 RANGE ROVER SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING STOPPED FUNCTIONING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY DASH BOARD WENT DARK AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. WE COMPLETELY LOSS CONTROL OF THE CAR WITH A TOTAL SYSTEMS FAILURE. TWO ACCIDENTS WERE NEARLY AVOIDED. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO REEVES IMPORT MOTORCARS FOR INSPECTION, INVESTIGATION AND TESTING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE CAUSE. REEVES HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 6 DAYS AND STATED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THE SUDDEN DASH BOARD AND ENGINE FAILURE. ADDITIONALLY, ON MANY OCCASIONS REEVES CONFIRMED THAT THEY CHECKED KEY ENGINE FLUID LEVELS INCLUDING OIL AND FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS SATISFACTORY. REEVES PROVIDED A LAND ROVER MULTI-POINT INSPECTION REPORT WHICH DIRECTLY LISTS THE OIL FLUID LEVEL AS "OK." FIVE DAYS AFTER REEVES GAVE US BACK OUR CAR IN JUNE, THE RANGE ROVER SHUT DOWN AGAIN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WE TOWED IT TO ANOTHER LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND REPAIR SHOP TWO HOURS AWAY FROM AND THIS DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT MY RANGE ROVER ONLY HAD 3.5 QTS INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 8.1 QTS. THIS NEW LAND ROVER REPAIR SHOP ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ANY OIL LEAKS. WE WERE TOLD THE LOW OIL LEVEL LOCKED THE ENGINE UP AND NOW MY CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS WHETHER AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, INCLUDING FAULTY OIL WARNING LIGHTS OR SENSORS, CAUSED MULTIPLE FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS TO MISS THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A DANGEROUSLY LOW OIL LEVEL. HAS THIS TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE PRESENTED IN ANY OTHER LAND ROVERS OR RANGE ROVERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE ELECTRICAL AND/OR ENGINE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO BE HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

  Vehicle: 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport VIN: [XXX] Issue: A safety recall repair previously performed on my vehicle has failed, recreating the original safety hazard the recall was intended to fix. Details: My vehicle was subject to a recall involving [rear spoiler detachment risk]. The recall repair was “performed “ without proof by Land Rover of Cincinnati in Aug 2023. As of April 2025, the same issue has reoccurred. Specifically: The spoiler detached while driving on interstate 75. (This spoiler never detached before they “fixed” it. - This created a serious safety hazard coming undone in the highway. It actually got a semi trucks front number as he crushed over it..,the semi driver did not stop to report it though. Concern: This indicates the recall remedy may have been improperly performed or is ineffective. I am being told I must pay out of pocket $6500 to fix an issue that should have been resolved under a federally mandated safety recall. Request: I am requesting investigation into: 1) Whether the recall repair procedure is adequate 2) Whether this repair was properly completed 3) Whether other vehicles may be affected by failed recall remedies Dealer: Land Rover Location: Cincinnati OH INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  Previous recall repair on rear spoiler falling off did not work and it is falling off again. Dealer and manufacturer will not re-repair the manufacturers defect nor their work, leaving the hazard unaddressed. Sees below. NHTSA, Please be advised that Jaguar Land Rover North America is not adhering to the required National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s official recall, 21V635000, where the rear spoiler falls off due to a manufacturers design defect and potentially can cause a serious accident, injury or even a fatality at highway speeds. The vehicle was previously fixed under recall, but that fix failed. VIN: [XXX] I have been advised by the owner/manager of Land Rover of the Treasure Coast that it is more important that they get reimbursed prior to fixing the defect, despite the safety of others on the road. This needs to be investigated. My concerns are: 1. Did Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) hoodwink NHTSA into a cheap, non-lasting fix just to satisfy the liability and recall requirement? If so, NHTSA should reissue another recall to recheck the previous recall to verify the fix was adequate and either do it again or develop another solution, bringing those affected vehicles in again for additional work. This is especially true since JD Power and other reputable car statistical reviews consistently rate this brand towards the bottom of reliability and repair costs. This historical point demonstrates why the NHTSA should not trust JLR. 2. How important is public safety? If a safety recall was important enough to be issued in the first place, how is it that a follow up repair for the same recall isn’t addressed? Why isn’t there a readily available avenue for reporting this shortcoming on the NHTSA website. Can anyone explain how if a safety recall campaign was important enough to be issued in the first place, why is it not if the same issue fails again, or if the approved resolution was inadequate?

  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..

  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
