2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport problems

“There are KNOWN areas around the A pillar, windshield, and sunroof that leak and allow water to enter the vehicle and pool up in the wiring channels next to the doors, the water causes shorts and corrosion in the wiring which causes faults (Check engine, etc) that the owner is forced to attempt to correct on their own. There are numerous videos made by Land Rover owners over the last 15 years showing the common areas where water enters the vehicle. The average owner is not mechanical inclined and will not pull apart their vehicle to search for places where water is entering. Land Rover knows about this issue and does nothing but charge their customers many hours of labor at the dealership to investigate. The water damage to the wiring has and will cause issues with the vehicle that the average person will or must go to the dealership to attempt a repair.”

“THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO OUT, AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG, HOWEVER IT FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO THE AIR BAG ISDUE.”

“THE TRUCK HAS BEEN JUMPING INTO 3 GEAR AT HIGH SPEEDS AND GETTING STUCK THERE.”

“FRONT BRAKE LINE HOSE FAILURE..BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. I WAS STOPPED, PUT CAR IN REVERSE, FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, ALL THE SUDDEN MY FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED BRAKE BUT STILL TO THE FLOOR. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR THE CAR WOULD STOP. I KNOW TO KEEP PRESSING BRAKE TO THE BOTTOM BUT ANOTHER DRIVER MAY NOT AND HAVE NO BRAKES. CAR IS AT THE DEALER RIGHT NOW GETTING IT REPLACED. HAVING WORKED ON CARS FOR YEARS THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE HOSE FAILURE ON A 105,000 CAR THAT IS 9 YEARS OLD.”

“I WAS DRIVING OUT OF WHATABURGER ON 8-2-16 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKES JUST WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND I STOPPED RIGHT BEFORE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON, I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES & THE BACK OF THE TRUCK JUMPS TO THE SIDE IF I HIT A BUMP. ALL OF THIS SCARES THE HECK OUT OF ME AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 5 MONTHS. ALSO THE TRUCK WOULD START AND CUT OFF SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP 4 TIMES AND THEY SO CALLED FIXED IT. I WAS TOLD I HAD OIL LEAKING INTO MY VALVES. IT IS STARTING BETTER BUT STILL SOME HESITATION AT TIMES.”

“I purchased four Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires (255 / 50R 19 107 W XL front and back) from Costco at 2700 Potomac Mill Circle, Woodbridge, VA on [XXX]. These tires were specifically for a 2009 Range Rover Sport HSE. The odometer reading was 105632 at the time of purchase, and the tires were installed on [XXX]. The present mileage as of today is 118233. However, after a mere 12,000 miles, all four tires are cracked along the bead inside the tire, showing the threads/wire. The tires are all torn in the sidewall at the bead above the inside of the rim edge and are non-repairable. There was no damage to the rim, nor any reason the tire might have been lacerated by the rim. The tire failure appeared to have occurred without provocation, and Costco had just conducted maintenance in April 2024. The tires have an 80,000-mile warranty, so I wonder how all four tires have the same issue on the inside of the tire after only 12,000-mileage has been recorded; it has been only two years. If the tires had failed while driving, this could have been catastrophic for me and my family, which could have ended up in the vehicle losing control and possibly loss of life since all…”
