Fuel/propulsion system

4 reports
“The 2022 repair to address NHTSA Safety Recall Number: 21V-635 - Gasoline Fuel Tank Flange Assembly Cracking was inadequate and led to a fuel pump crack that we are now having to repair in January 2025, after a routine check indicated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. We transport three school-aged children in our vehicle and was told by a mechanic that the car was unsafe to drive and could blow up if we continued to drive it. My husband had the vehicle towed and contacted Land Rover, since we previously had it repaired and continued to experience the issues other drivers complained about even after the repair, including fuel odor, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminating and liquid fuel on the ground. Land Rover indicated that the repair from 2022 was adequate and refused to remedy the fuel tank leak. The cost for the repair is $1700.”

Power train

2 reports1 crash
“The transmission oil cooler pipes commonly leak on 2010-2013 LR4 and Range Rover Sport (LS) to the extent that a TSB (LTB00378NAS2) was issued on September 9th 2014 by JLR. The fluid leak causes undue wear on the transmission along with corrosion of the chasis. JLR in Alpharetta, GA wants to charge $3,100 dollars to replace the defective parts. I believe that this problem is much more common that JLR has previously represented in the model years mentioned above and that this should be reclassified as a recall as soon as possible.”

“WHILE TRAVELING ON I-49 NORTH AT 50 MPH IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI, OUR LAND ROVER LOST ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF CAR. THE CAR SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES LEAVING THE CAR DRIFTING WITHOUT POWER AT 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR OFF OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INJURY OR COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR HAD LIGHTS AND RADIO POWER BUT COULD NOT BE STARTED. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR'S EMERGENCY BRAKE COULD NOT BE ENGAGED, SO THE DRIVER HAD TO STAY WITH THE CAR TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AFTER THE EVENT. FIVE SECONDS PRIOR TO THE POWER SHUTDOWN, AN INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE. OTHER INFORMATION IS: 'EARLIER THAT DAY THE CAR HAD BEEN REFUELED WITH PREMIUM GASOLINE 'THE CAR HAS A ONE YEAR OLD BATTERY 'THE CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASE WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY. SOME OF THE KEY I HAVE WILL ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS INSTEAD OF LOCK THE CAR DOORS.”
