2023 Land Rover Range Rover problems

“**Vehicle Information:** 2023 Range Rover (purchased used on December 19, 2025 with approximately 21,000 miles) **Component/System Involved:** Rear braking system (rear brake pads and rotors). The vehicle has experienced repeated premature wear of the rear brakes. The component is available for inspection upon request. **Description of the Failure/Malfunction:** At approximately 25,000 miles, I was informed by the servicing dealership, Land Rover Austin, that the rear brakes required replacement. At that time, I had only driven the vehicle approximately 3,355 miles since purchase. I subsequently learned that the rear brakes had already been replaced once before at approximately 12,000 miles. This indicates two rear brake replacements within 25,000 miles, which is significantly below expected brake life. The dealership service department indicated that this may be due to how the rear braking system engages during turning, particularly in city driving conditions, leading to accelerated wear. This is happening in the newer models, is what I was told. **Safety Risk:** Premature and accelerated brake wear creates a potential safety hazard, including reduced braking…”

“The contact owns a 2023 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the lost motive power and inadvertently shifted to park (P). Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The transmission failed to shift out of park (P). The contact stated that the failure occurred twice. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer replaced the overlay PWM circuit. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.”

“On March 18, 2026, while I was driving, the engine overheated. The coolant warning was hidden behind another alert on the instrument display, so I had no usable warning before a near engine failure. I had to pull over and the vehicle was towed to the dealer, where a coolant leak was confirmed and repaired. This is a recurring coolant system defect. It first appeared in December 2023, seven months after I bought the vehicle new, and has been reported to the authorized dealer nine times: December 2023, February 2024, March 2024, May 2024 (towed in), October 2024, April 2025, March 2026 (towed in after overheating), May 2026, and October 2026. Repairs have included replacing the radiator-to-thermostat hose assembly, oil cooler hose, thermostat, hoses, transmission cooler and cooler lines, coolant bypass tube, and upper radiator hose. The leak keeps returning, with repeated low coolant warnings and coolant leaking onto the ground. The safety risk is sudden engine overheating and failure while driving, with the overheat warning able to be hidden by other alerts on the display. I regularly transport children in this vehicle. The manufacturer has denied two repurchase…”

“After coming to a complete stop at an intersection, I looked left-right-left before proceeding across the intersection. At the time I began to cross the intersection my vehicle seemingly did not accelerate as normal, causing my vehicle to be hit on the right driver side panel, spun around, and ripping the entire front end of my car off. Injuries were sustained and the vehicle may be a total loss.”
