Land Rover Reviews

Range Rover Evoque engine blows up less than 25,000 miles. Vehicle recovered into a dealership by assist in October and still yet to be seen. Keep getting fobbed off with flimsy excuses by the dealership, supplied with sub-standard courtesy vehicles and no-one seems to care about the customer service side. False promises and awful communications. The vehicles may be fashionable and desirable, but the mechanicals are poor and the company does not give a hoot. Do not fall in to the same trap and buy one of their vehicles - you will be disappointed.

Bought a 2013 Range Rover Evoque from the dealer in August 2014 with 10,000 miles on it. Problems: Nav Screen wouldn't come on and flicker at will... (The dealer had to change the screen). AC wouldn't work. (Dealer had to work on it twice). Car stops in the middle of the road, poor battery... How can It stop in the middle? (dealer changed the battery). Engine Check Light: Oxygen sensor was gone. (Dealer said they replaced it). Engine Check Light came on again... 34,000 miles on it now.

We purchased a Range Rover Sport in March 2015 and we have had issues since we bought it. License plate fell off while driving 3 times even after we took it back on day 2 of owning it and they said it wouldn't come off again. That was fun to find. Week 3 of ownership the check engine light came on. Took it in to have it serviced and was told it was just an oxygen sensor and they had fixed it. Week 4 of ownership, check engine light back on, back in for service for 3 days and they said they fixed it but may need to order an oxygen sensor if it comes back on.

I bought a 2016 Range Rover and was happy with the transaction until the first time that I washed the car (3 weeks after purchase). I discovered spots on the sides of the car that actually changed the color of the paint. The spots were caused by the tire dressing that was on the USED upgraded rims which were represented as being brand new by the dealership. I know that they were used because 3 weeks after the purchase, the sales manager accidentally told me that they had 7,000 miles on them.

Range Rover sport HSE 2010 - As I read some of these reviews I realize that this scam bags at dealership did not disclose that these cars had to be recalled. I bought mine at November of 2010. Within the first month my navigation and center council kept on shooting off. They could or fix this even though the tech from England tried to remotely fix this. After thirty days they replaced the entire wiring and later on I sue and won 8k. Then I see the same violent leak and it was water pump and I have this again after 4 years. Then the gauge in the gas tank broke/stuck and I was left in middle of highway. Beautiful car even after 4 years but crappy workmanship. My boomers are coming out and body shop is telling me he does not like to fix it as any time he touches these cars something else break and does not worth for him.

I have a 2010 RR Sport HSE and I have been having an issue with the battery needing a jump start from time to time, and I assume it was from all the corrosion around it... However I needed a boost and after it took a good 5 minutes to get started, after we removed the cables, the inside lights cut off, the truck ran for 1 minute and died again... I also noticed it has a leak and the coolant is leaking out... Can anyone shed light on why the battery is not keeping a charge even after the corrosion was removed and then the head led lights were flashing on and off... Has anyone ever encountered an issue like this and what could it be?

Numerous problems with turbo not engaging. Several trips to dealership for "computer resets" etc. ** from the sales/service folks. Still left hanging in traffic with accelerator pressed, no response, then kick in and thrown back in seat. Most dangerous vehicle ever. Horns continuously blowing because I won't "go" at stop lights. Random overhead lights come on for no reason. If your brakes get close to 50% worn, you must replace the rotors! So I'm about $1k into brakes at 34000 miles. Pretty is all its got going for it. Place that sold it to me for 41k offered me 31k 10000 miles later. And it still won't accelerate! Waiting on recall or to invoke the Lemon Law. Land rover service is so far behind BMW as to be in another category altogether. The L for luxury actually stands for Lemon when it comes to Evoque! I want my $$$ back!

I have a 2013 Land Rover Evoque. This is by far the worse car that I have ever had. This car has had the most issues and it's only 2 years old. My oxygen sensor light has been on since May. Dealer says I don't tighten my gas cap. What was I doing before then. Last week the vehicle wouldn't start, surely it's not the battery. I take it in for service and I'm told it's the battery and they can't tell me why all these warnings are popping up; battery is $350. I go get a battery installed but the car keeps saying gear box fault. From reading all the posts. I'm scared to drive it. My headlights don't work properly. I can only drive at night with my fog lights on. The service man says my battery would solve a lot. When does a battery fix headlights. Guess what? I have a new battery but my lights still don't work. I have been on the Internet for 4 hours. I see a new vehicle in my immediate future.

I had a 2014 Range Rover Sport. It was lemon lawed. They sent me a refund check as I had paid the car in full. I got a 2015 Sport as they guaranteed me all issues were fixed. I have even more issues with this car. It gets stuck in neutral and the car has to be fully shut down and restarted. The navigation shuts down en route to a destination. Just goes blank. Now my battery died overnight and it is a nightmare because I have no car tomorrow morning and they don't bring you a loaner. Range Rover is a nightmare. I've had more issues with this car in 3 months than any other car in 5 years.

I purchased a 2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE LUX in December 2014. A couple weeks later I started hearing an intermittent high-pitched sound from the dash. I have not been able to pinpoint what causes the noise. It doesn't matter whether or not I have the heat or AC on. I have had the car back to the dealership several times, for weeks at a time. They have admitted there is a problem, but they have not identified a "fix." They have told me 3 other customers at my local dealership have the same complaint, but they have no answers. I have been in touch with both Land Rover North America Headquarters and the BBB. I have tried to evoke the SC Lemon Law. I have been told the noise does not qualify because it is not a safety issue. So here I am with a very expensive car that makes an obnoxious high-pitched noise and I can do nothing about it. I have never been more frustrated!

I know I marked Happy with RR Evoque because I love everything about this car. I just had a very unfortunate incident and after being on your website I noticed someone in UT had a similar incident. This one could have left me paralyzed, but it didn't and I just want answers. 2013 RR Evoque, parked in my driveway that is about a 1-2% incline. Placed in park, car was on, not moving.

I bought a 2015 LR4 in March, and thought I would share some information with prospective buyers. Land Rover USA has admitted that there is a problem in the air conditioning system of the 2015 LR4s, a problem that causes a high pitched whistle to be emitted from the dashboard area whenever the air conditioner is on (as it often is if you live in Texas). Land Rover says this is a "characteristic" of the 2015 LR4s, and have offered no fix for the problem. If you are considering purchasing an LR4, I would seriously reconsider, until Land Rover has a fix for this issue. Though the dealership has tried, they have been unable to fix the problem, and my car has spent over 40 days in the shop since I purchased it.

2013 Land Rover Evoque AC compressor does not work. Verified by 2 Independence shops, now facing big repair bill on a almost new car?? The dealer service representative in Peabody MA does not want to honor even a free warranty check up since the car has 60K miles. Really 2-year-old car leased from them has a AC compressor issue? Waste of money and aggravation, car has all kinds of electrical problems all the time.

Range Rover 2015 sport - Car lost steering power while I was driving with only 3,000 miles. I couldn't turn the wheel at all. Problems with the battery, it was replaced once and continues to drain and shows low battery every other week. New car with lots of problem. I'm trying to return it and get my money back. IT is a true lemon. Beautiful to look at, but can't trust it anymore.

The headrests in the 2015 Range Rover are not designed properly. They are tilted to push your head in a forward position, and cannot be tilted backwards enough to be level with the seat. They are extremely uncomfortable and causing neck aches, for both driver and front passenger. Land Rover was contacted but said there was nothing that could be done. I did not have that problem with my previous two Range Rovers. I do not have this issue with any of my other cars.

I was always told that these are good vehicles. Just very costly to fix. I went ahead and purchased the Rover anyway, and took a chance. It ran good for 5 months, engine light came on, had it looked at and it would come on randomly. Never could get it repaired correctly. I then was driving in a mountain area here in Colorado, when I heard a heavy thumping from underneath the Rover. Got out in the snow and ice and realized my front drive shaft broke at the u-joint which are machined on by a press. When it was flopping around it hit the transmission housing and cracked the pumpkin. So when the front drive shaft went, it also took out the transmission. I'M now driving a Volkswagen jetta that I couldn't be happier with while the Land Rover is sitting out back collecting weeds and dirt wondering if I should even fix the damn thing. I'M very disappointed with the Land Rover title.

Had 2013 lr4. Looks nice but rough ride, stiff seats, and 230 miles per tank. Brakes last 10,000 miles. I was about to get 3rd set, water pump failed. It always had a check engine light changed to Lexus gx460. Brakes cost 2000.00 set - horrible!!!

I bought a new Range Rover Evoque in Feb 2015 only done 6000 miles and the parts are failing as if this is a prototype test model and the company does not have the courtesy to replace the car, all they are doing is replacing parts. The car has been with the dealer for 6 weeks from my ownership of 4 months. Parts replaced so far - O2 sensor, ENGINE, couple of modules, brake discs, rear bumper, doing paint job under the hood... Last I heard they are replacing some more parts. After opening an executive case also, they keep assuring me everything will be fixed without even considering a replacement.

Had an accident right front bumper. I think messed up suspension. Happened same time. Broke parking light - damage behind that light caused plastic to touch tire. Crinkled rubber on outside of wheel well. Cost to repair? I love my 2005 LR3!

Range Rover Evoque - Car lost power on the highway going uphill. The dealership said I had a blown turbo charger and the car had 57k miles on it so it was not under warranty. $4k later & two weeks in the shop I have the car back and am nervous to drive it. I've also had both front headlights blow out during a nasty snow storm & dealership had no idea why. Good thing that happened under warranty or else I would have had to pay. The car is dangerous and there should be a suit against Land Rover.

My 2008 Land Rover LR2 is been a bad vehicle. The cooling fan went out and the motor loses power. I almost got into an accident and every person that has this vehicle have the same problems and also the front air bags, there's something wrong with them.

Recently I purchased a used Range Rover with 93K miles for my wife. In unbelievable mint condition on the outside, I had issues from the get go with an oil leak and a few electrical problems that kept the vehicle in the shop 4 out of the first 8 weeks of ownership. Scary to say the least. Fortunately, the previous owner had bumper to bumper coverage and Land Rover of Tulsa covered all expenses and got the ride in great working order. **, service manager, did a phenomenal job of taking care of myself and my family's new ride.

In 2012 our LR2 was at 118,421. We were told by Redwood City service that differential/transmission failed. Replacement cost = $7,000. We said "NO." It is 2015. LR2 is over 161,000 miles. Differential/transmission = good. Conclusion?

I have written a review before on this site but this time after 6 years of being in court with Land Rover. I can now tell you everything what has happened. First I have owned 6 Range Rovers and up to the last one I bought from Lloyd's Land Rover in Carlisle UK dealer. I had little or no problems with the cars. But then I bought a new sport HSE with the new Jaguar engine 3 litre. From the start this car was a lemon. After only driving less than 200 miles I had a fault when I was driving along it would pull up for no reason.

I have had my 2015 Evoque for 60 days now and we just picked it up from our Land Rover dealer service for a gearbox fault (I will get more into that shortly). On the way home on the highway, the car lost power in the fast lane, basically shut down and give us the same gearbox malfunction code as before. My wife and 6 year old child were in the car with me when this happen. Cars behind me had to slam on their brakes because my Evoque was slowing at a fast rate and I had no power to get out of the way. Luckily there was an opening in traffic for me to pull into the side of the road. The same thing happen last week when my wife was driving my son to the doctor and A SEMI TRUCK NARROWLY AVOIDED RUNNING INTO MY WIFE AND CHILD BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE! My wife doesn't want this car, I don't want this car, I feel like my family is not safe in it anymore and I honestly don't know what path to take.

Water leaks from a manufacturing defect related bad seam in the roof and poor seal in the side panel C pillar caused corrosion of the AV electrical components in the rear hatch area, resulting in multiple failures of the bluetooth phone module, amplifier, navigation unit. Technical Service bulletins issued identifying the problem as water ingress, but dealer failed to fix the leaks or to let customer know about the TSBs. Rover service rep lied about the cause. Extensive litigation ongoing over statute of limitations when repair or replace warranty is breached. Lesson: sue Rover often and early.

From my perspective, I've had far too many issues with this $55K SUV. I purchased the car from Land Rover (Lake Bluff) as a lightly driven dealer demo (approximately 2,500 miles on the odometer). Current mileage is 15K. Since buying the car I've had it into the dealer for several small issues - trim on driver seat popped off, driver seat squeaking and noise, car stalled during a rain store due to water getting into turbo charger intake, driver side headlight burned out, seal around back hatch was damaged due to design of hatch (not covered by LR), under carriage splash guard broke while driving on snowy/icy Chicago toll way (not covered by LR). Not very impressive for a car that still smells new.

The fact that they are endangering me and fiancée’s life by letting me drives a car that is seriously defective. Causes me to question the intentions of the companies risk management practices and their exposure in the event of an accident. I have made several telephone complaints throughout the years and have taken the vehicle in for various repairs but more importantly it is the engine/turbocharger issue that endangers my fiancée’s life when the vehicle is not operating properly. It will not accelerate and I will have to turn off the engine and restart the car. This is very unsafe and has been in the shop for over 44 days over a 24 months period. This was a brand new Range Rover Evoque -2013.

Have a Range Rover Sport- bought in August 2014. The car is 6 months old. The car door handle has fallen off. Range rover claims it is not a warranty problem. Poor customer service. A high end vehicle like Range Rover should stand behind their product. A car that is 6 months old should not be missing a handle!!! Nor should I have to pay out of pocket to get the handle replaced as it should never have fallen off in the first place. Dealership told us they have had numerous cars come in with this issue. A defect in the car??? Maybe Range Rover should stand behind their product and not tell customers that it's a wear n tear problem. Not when the car is NEW.

Car 16 months old to me - 29k miles only - driving in commuter traffic and had black smoke from bonnet. Took to land rover and will not honor the warranty as clutch wear was due to incorrect operation! I have had Vauxhall and Audi previously and driven over 100k miles and still no problems. So much for prestige vehicle. £1500 bill on the way!!!!!

I have the RR Supercharged. I purchased it in Mexico City in 2014 directly from the LR importer (and not any distributor) and actually has 22,585 kilometers, and I sent it to ETB Armoring company, the only company recommended by LR. This RR is in a very BAD condition due to the bad or the worst armoring assembling, everything vibrate and makes a lot a noise and the suspension is in a very bad shape. It looks like a 2 millions kilometers and not +/- 20,000 kilometers. And from the LR Company here in Mexico City NOBODY cares. I called many times. The person in "Charge of Service" by the name of Antonio ** and he did never care. What about the promises that is a millions kilometers SUV?! And the best service EVER? I think they meant NEVER and not ever...

I want to know the course of this problem in land rover v8 discovery series 11 (2000 model). When I start the car it will bring black smoking, and consuming the fuel and kill the plugs. What should be the problem sir?

Months ago we purchased a new Evoque and drove out to Death Valley for the Thanksgiving vacation. Running on the dirt road was very enjoyable till we had a flat tire. Well, flat tire should not be a problem at all since this is a new car and there is spare tire. The real problem happened when we noticed that the wheel has the special lock key bolt, and the car does NOT equipped with the tool to take off that special bolt! And there is no cell phone signal and we could not make a help call!

I have 2006 Model LR3. I really enjoyed the movement but at a point I noticed that attaining 90km/h it disengage automatically (like speed check). This has been the problem since and I think I need a better information to rectify this problem.

Ranger rover evoque 2014 - Just got this vehicle few months back. Dealership at Flatiron tried to sell us with extra tags... but that's another story which was the start of the poor customer service. So vehicle was working perfectly until we took it back to the center for some updates they called us for with a letter. We get the car back, door floor lights stopped lighting and after one day car won't start altogether. We'd call the same service center and he tells he doesn't have time and I will have to wait 7 days for them to see the issue. (This is the place we got the car and they did the update.) We called another service center, they were ready to see the car. So now we are responsible to get the car at the service station. Called roadside assistance and they were not able to find a towing company. Spoke with them several times. No use. 3 days I am sitting home with car standing on the side of the road outside my house. No assistance, no spare car offered. Just scared what if I was stuck at on a highway or middle of nowhere. Highly disappointed. Rethinking my decision to buy Land Rover. Really questioning the premier tag on Land Rover... is it true?

Range Rover 2010 Sport - I love this car... It's like riding a baby pony that wants to go go go... I also own a Porsche 911 Turbo and as far as speed and agility go, the Range Rover can't be beat for an SUV. After reading some of the prior reviews, I agree that if you want to drive this car, you need to treat it like gold and have the $$$ to pay for consequences. I've had my car in for several things that were covered under warranty but were a pain in the **. Make sure to get an extended warranty. It will pay for all the quirks and issues that definitely will happen. An oil change and tuneup will cost you upwards of $700 (warranty doesn't cover that!). And if you lose your key, be prepared to spend another $600.

Has anyone else got one of the new 2013 version Range Rover Sports? I had delivery of mine in Feb. 2014 and have now been through 3 windscreens. They get a tiny chip and crack instantly. This isn't good! Right the way across the screen!! I'm getting nowhere with Land Rover themselves and need to take this further so need examples of anyone else in my situation as I'm being told that I'm the only one having this problem. By the way, I know I'm not as I've got a friend's partner who's now been through 6 of them. He's not getting anywhere either!

Bad service. The RR give you the dirty. Very expensive for the quality.

I left the car running on my street with the door open while I got out to put my dog away. When I came walking back from behind the house the Evoque was going up the street on its own. If kids would have been in the street like normal they would have been run over. The SUV door hit my brick mailbox and stopped the car. When I got in the SUV the gear shift control was still in the Park position.

For everyone who owns a Land Rover, listen up! We all know that Land Rovers are high maintenance! It doesn't matter if you have a 1990 Defender or a 2015 LR4. It will eventually fail in some way, shape or form! With that said, you have to treat them like gold. If you're one of those Soccer moms - with all due respect, that needs to jump in the car four or five times a day to run errands with the A/C blasting in the middle of the summer, then maybe this isn't the vehicle for you. Land Rovers are like Ferraris. You have to constantly be on top of them, know when the vehicle breaks before it does! Keep money in savings and always be prepared!

Land Rover LR3 Defective Suspension Compressor - Diagnostics showed original part was redesigned and suggested replacement. Contacted Land Rover. They would not replace as it was out of warranty. I told them it was not a defective part, it was a part they engineered wrong which is why the diagnostic showed that part was to be replaced with updated part. After writing, calling, etc I gave up. So I had to have local repair shop replace as the closest LR dealer was 3.5 hrs away, so 7 hrs round trip, plus two nights hotel as they said they needed 2 days. Local repair shop cost was $1,300.00 using Land Rover's updated part (dealer wanted $1,600). Land Rover does not stand by their product. Yes, vehicle was out of warranty, however, I have since learned that others have had the same problem. When I spoke with their dealer, they stated, yes they have had to replace many of these. So if you buy a Land Rover, and they have a known part that will fail eventually due to their poor engineering, you better hope it fails in warranty period.

I bought 2011 LR4 2 years ago. In the last 4 months, I have to send my car to fix parking brake 4 times. The problem is not fixed yet! The company did not keep its promise to reimburse my rental car. This is nightmare! The service department is no help at all. Can not get anybody from the dealer to help. This is the worst experience in my life.

I bought this truck used over 4 years ago and couldn't be more happy. Had a couple electrical issues which required changing fuses and had to replace air bags, but that has been all. It is a gas guzzler but overall dependable especially in the winter. Parts are costly due to being foreign, but can find on internet cheaper.

This past weekend I left my home in Central PA Saturday morning to drive up to Saugerties, NY to pick up my daughter where she was at a horse show with my parents and niece. I went to see her ride in her 1st show, then in the afternoon I intended to depart for Southern NJ. My wife is there for the summer with the kids and I drive back and forth. It was our wedding anniversary on Aug 4th, so I was headed there to celebrate with her.

We bought our 2008 LR2 in early 2007. We have had nothing but headaches with this vehicle since day one. The first day driving, the sunroof seal peeled off and the screen became detached. Then the problems got worse to the point we thought the electrical system was defective. This vehicle has been in the auto dealership repair shop more than my wife and I have seen our doctors. It was so bad that Land Rover had to send an engineer out to look at the vehicle to get an idea what was causing all the problems and it seemed fixed. Lo and behold, the warranty expires and guess what? We start having more problems and costly ones at that. We literally lost our savings account for repairs on our LR2. The most recent repair over $1,200.00 for a cooling fan. It gets better.

Since I purchased my land rover, it's spent more time in the shop versus the road. Every time it's fixed it isn't and you spend more money on another part when it is still doing the same thing. The vehicle is worth nothing but a headache. This vehicle will never be recommended. Nor do I even know why they still exist as SUV company.

Love at first sight, beautiful, clean, no rust, interior spotless. Finally no more horror driving in winter every winter option on this HSE. Did not even think of no warranty too beautiful to care, that is where they get us, you just fall in love with the white soft leather, the heated seats, the beauty makes you forget about gas mileage and cost of ownership.

The electrical system and suspension bags goes off while driving. This includes all electrical indicators (low coolant, HDC fault, cruise control, parking brake, fog lamp, check engine, seat belts, oil pressure, battery, air bags deploy, high beam indicator, and emergency flasher, suspension bags inflate and deflate). Brought it to Land Rover January 2014 and service advisor said everything was fine. Took it back on February 2014 with the same problem and when he turned on the ignition, the problems above occurred. We have been in contact almost on a weekly basis for an update. To date, they still have the car. He thinks it might be the instrumental panel on the dash board but is only 70% sure. To replace that, it would cost us $1,400.00. If the problem continues, then bring it back for another diagnostic evaluation. It is unfair for us to pay for something that they are not certain will fix the problem and will not be refunded if the same problem occur but said if it does, then to bring it back for another diagnostic evaluation. At our expense? Is this fair? Is this a defective item on the 2006 LR3?

Land Rover Hinsdale worked on my car several times... Was guaranteed there will be no more problems with the rear differential. Less than a year later, it was leaking again. They took care of it but claimed I need a front wheel bearing... I wanted to confirm it had nothing to do with the rear Differential so did not authorize work until I can confirm it was truly a front wheel bearing... To my surprise they called claiming the car was fixed And I now owed $837.00. None of this work was authorized.... I was never able to confirm whether it was a front or rear wheel bearing or whether the rear differential was leaking. And that was why the rear bearing went out. Really makes me wonder... What were they hiding??? Why would they not let me confirm it was a front wheel bearing... was there a problem with my rear differential??? Was there a problem with my rear axle?? Did this cause problems to my rear wheel bearing?? I will never know!!! I was told by corporate Land Rover they've done all they can they are no longer going to pay for any repairs. They claim they done enough... They claim they paid enough... I wish I had this luxury!!!

Range Rover Evoque - Wipers come on for no reason.... Sensor lights come on when the sun is out. They are to come on when it starts to darken. Taken to shop and was to set where I manually turn them on. Why does it have auto? Well, been told by service manager that they cannot fix any when everything is working. Have produce videos and still tell me some cars are sensitive. They give me loaners and they don't ever experience the sensitivity my car has. Now they told me they put a new sensor and guess what still having the same problem. Mr. ** manager of service department was very rude. Also I cannot get paperwork of the new sensor. I believe they just lied, so I am just imaging this...just because I am a woman and don't know anything. I will try getting a hold of someone at corporate office.

I am a student in the United States. I wanted to purchase a car from the local retailer in Richmond, Virginia. They refused to sell me a car just because I am a student but I felt it was a race discrimination. They kept asking me from where I am getting my money. I wanted to purchase a car for my own use while I am here in the United States for the duration I am studying. They started asking me personal question like from where will you get your money.

Steering vibration, in for repair 3 days ago. I has only done 166 miles awaiting outcome!!!!!! Not a cheap car should be perfect. New buyers beware.

I have the following issues with the car: Engine light with decreased engine performance, multiple warning lights going on, failure of the heating system, and more. In the last year, I brought the car in at least 4 times and each time the car was returned to me not fixed and all the service personnel said was "Drive it for a short while and it will work itself out." They charged the warranty repair insurance each time and fixed nothing. Most recently, I brought it in yet again for all these and for NYS Inspection. After 3 days in the shop - the dealer/service personnel returned it will all the warning lights and the heat still not working - said, "We don't know what's wrong and we can't fix the car and we can't inspect it because of the warning lights." I said, "But you are the dealer, you sold me the car, it is still under warranty, so what are my options?" They said, "We have nothing to say and we can offer you no solution." Complete incompetence and rudeness on top of that. I also suspect this is their business practice - to take in cars to the dealership for repair - bill the warranty service, not do the said repair and hope the consumer does not come back.

I purchased a 2008 Range Rover HSE. Car started making loud rapping sound from engine compartment. No warning or service lights are on. Had car towed to where all service had been done, Land Rover of North Hills in Pittsburgh. Was told that no oil registered on dipstick and that low oil light was now on but no service reminder light is on. Check of records shows last oil service was done there 40,000 miles/16 mo. ago. Inspection of car at dealer shows oil full 10,000 mi/5 mo ago. Advised to get new engine at my expense. I feel dealer/manufacturer bear some responsibility because service light/low oil light never came on and argue that most customers have several cars and rely on these lights to keep track of service intervals. Dealer and Land Rover International feel you cannot rely on the lights and have to keep track of service intervals and oil level yourself.

I have a 2010 Land Rover LR2. With about 57,000 miles. I recently started to hear a roaring noise from my rear and got it inspected by the dealer. They said my rear differential was bad which would cause about $3500. Is this amount accurate? I feel like I'm being ripped off. Any advice?

I have actually had over six (6) issues with my rear differential on my 2008 LR2! I notified Land Rover USA and told them that this rear differential issue is really a big problem! You can guess the rest, lol.

While driving home, the engine revved up, an engine light came on and vehicle died. I had it towed to Land Rover dealer in Maryland, and was told the engine locked and the vehicle needed a new engine. Extended warranty took care of a refurbished engine after being in the shop for a month. After replacement of the engine, light and revving continued. The vehicle has been in the shop over 15 times for engine light issues. I even had a new wiring harness placed on the vehicle for $1100. The engine light came back on three weeks later. After randomly speaking to people who I come across with the same vehicle, I discovered that the engine light is a common problem. One man told me his engine light has been on for 3 years. WOW!!!

Within 10 months of purchase of a new 2012 Range Rover from the Glen Cove dealership, the "check engine" light came on. I took it to the same dealer for service. Within two days, I got my car back. A week later, the light came back. I took it in for service again. This time they told me that the entire fuel system was contaminated from bad gas and needs to be replaced, but the warranty does not cover that and it will cost me $8,700. The insurance apparently does not cover that either. I am outraged. My car is less than a year old, and I can't drive it. I have never heard of such a problem in my 30 years of driving many cars.

I had a 2008 Range Rover L3222 HSE NA 2008. I loved it! At about 54,850 km, I started getting intermittent reduced engine efficiency warnings that began to result in engine not starting and not cracking, only switches on. Check on touch screen display cuts off by it while driving at normal speed. Sometimes, it shows blank screen. Check engine light occasionally would come on as well. I had my mechanic replace Battery and cable assy. For repairs and troubles, I took it to the Land Rover dealer (Mohammed Yousuf Naghi Motors which cost me S.R. 3,778). Same problem repeating soon after two days from the repair. Now, the Land Rover dealer informed me of steering problem which would cost me around S.R. 18,000 plus. Please advise.

I am a disabled US Marine and made report to the US Government about this problem with this Land Rover LR2 HSE 2008. I asked for recall because this is a dangerous problem with this Land Rover LR2 HSE. If this gets attention from the public, it's going to someone soon enough. This Land Rover LR2 has two pumps in the front and the pump to fix this problem is at the bottom (and SE too). So the problem is big because my dealer told me that the pump costs $25.26 and to fix it, they need to remove the front bumper to replace the new pump. The cost to remove the bumper is between $150 and $200 (to replace a windshield pump on this Land Rover LR2 HSE 2008).

I had a 2006 Range Rover Sport HSE. I loved it! At about 90,000 km, I started getting intermittent "reduced engine efficiency" warnings that began to result in low speed stalls. Check engine light occasionally would come on as well. I had my mechanic replace several sensors. Then I took it to the Land Rover dealer (in the next city) who diagnosed a mass airflow sensor as the culprit. This was changed but it kept reoccurring. More diagnostics (and the money associated with that) and resetting of the codes: same mafs but nothing was wrong with the sensor! Land Rover was unhelpful and quite frankly, disinterested. I guess the repeated cost resetting charges were making everyone happy (except me). So, I bought a 2013 Ford Explorer, a great vehicle at a half the cost, same great cargo space, better ride (!) and a more accessible dealer network. It's a great truck.

It's only two years old and a piece of **. My Rover didn't even make it out of warranty before it had issues. I had replaced the alternator just before the warranty was up. About 4 months after the warranty was up, I had small issues with the vehicle. Exactly 1 year after I replaced the alternator, I had to replace it again, and this alternator is overpriced like you wouldn't believe! My vehicle is now currently sitting in a transmission shop, where they just called and told me that I needed to just trade in my vehicle because I have over 30 codes wrong in the diagnostics. My rear end, and my engine is next to go out in my vehicle! The transmission shop is not even charging me for the service, and he said that he wouldn't feel right fixing the transmission, when the engine in the rear and is about to go out of my vehicle too. I wish that Land Rover was that honest with me when I bought my vehicle. I am a previous Mercedes owner. I will never, in this lifetime, ever purchase another Land Rover.

In January 2012, we experienced a blow out on front driver side of our 2008 Black Range Rover, which tore up the wiring harness that was above the wheel well. Land Rover was unable to secure parts to fix the vehicle, namely the wiring harness, for seven months. During the seven months they had the vehicle, they had told us they would take care our financial costs to rent a vehicle during this time due to them not being able to loan us a car from the dealership. They have now refused to help with any of the $3,944 worth of expenses we incurred from renting another vehicle to drive during that seven months. They have been terrible to deal with and are liars.

Range Rover, less than a year old, was broadsided by a red light runner (no injuries). Eleven months later, it's still in the shop being repaired due to delayed parts shipments, wrong parts sent, and complete lack of interest by Land Rover in any customer assistance.

I bought a 1999 HSE from a guy in NW Houston. He was only too happy to unload this ** on me for $3300. It drives great, it blows cold AC, but since I've had it, I've spent nearly twice what I paid for it. First, the key fob broke. It cost $700+ for them to send me this ancient looking control two weeks later. The sun roof track broke. They told me it would cost $2800 to replace the parts. Later, it was $2900 for brakes and shocks, and then, the last straw was $3000 for the catalytic converter. The back story: On one of my "wallet siphoning" trips to RR North Houston, I had a head lamp reflector lamp come off and a fuel issue that caused my check engine light to come on. I paid $1300 for that, but the week later, the reflector came off and the check engine light came back on. They told me the "code" was new on the check engine soon, and to bring the truck in so they can see if I had done something to the light which is really only a snap in.

I bought a 2004 Range Rover on 5/12/12 from this dealership (Vision Custom Car). Three days after having the vehicle, the car shut off on me. I called Mr. ** and advised what happened. He stated maybe the car needed service. I took the car to be checked out by two different licensed Range Rover professionals and they stated he sold me a lemon. This vehicle need over 5,000 dollars of work; it had engine problems and all kinds of oil leakage in 4 different spots. I contacted Eric in regards to what's going on. He never will take my calls and finally, I got in contact with him and he stated I cannot give the car back and he is not paying to repair it. I paid $13,000 for the car and over $5,000 to have it repaired. In Mr. **'s report of the car (Carfax), the car was in very good condition, had no mechanical problems and no engine problems. Well, that was wrong. I am upset at how he handled business and he should not be a licensed dealership selling cars that are lemons. I want reimbursement of the extra $5,000 I had to put into this car and it has only been 1 month.

I purchased a 2006 Range Rover HSE with 18,000 miles. I owned the vehicle for one year and that is when my financial nightmare started. The first incident that occurred was with the front differential, which needed to be replaced at 30,000 miles. Three months later, the air suspension needed to be replaced as well. I am lost for words as to why is it that this is a so-called top of the line luxury vehicle. I was suckered into buying this basically junk and ** expensive vehicle, which is costing me and a lot of others nothing but financial burden and headaches. I cannot wait to unload this junk by any means. I will never purchase a Land Rover ever again!

Transmission replacement was declined while under warranty. I had taken my vehicle in for issues with the transmission. I brought these issues to the attention of the dealership while the vehicle was still under an extended warranty. They kept the vehicle for several weeks at a time and did not make any repairs to the transmission. My transmission continues to show signs of impending failure. I took the vehicle back in to have the issue addressed and they said that the transmission needed replacing; however, due to the extended warranty expiration, the repairs to the transmission will be at my expense. The service manager at Livermore Land Rover said that there are several notes in my service records that I had concerns with the transmission problems. I have sought an attorney. However, his suggestion is for me to take the consumer affair route first as he sees that the case is very simple. A preexisting condition is the responsibility of the car company to repair.

My Land Rover Range Rover Sport came to an emergency stop at over 60 mph after Land Rover told me it was fixed and had been in the dealers for three days. I then drove it going to work at a speed of over 60 mph. Suddenly, it stopped then I went forward and back and I went forward and back again. As I came back, I broke my neck on the headrest. I am now on a wheelchair with very little use of my left side and in constant pain. The car has done the same thing several times before but only at a speed of between 5 and 10 mph. It only caused a small jolt. Land Rover will not admit liability but has offered me a small amount of money which I refused. Before the one that caused my accident, I had four other Sport HSE's that I never had problems with. It was a faulty product fault. Why can Land Rover say sorry. The part that caused the problem will have been made by another small parts company instead of making me suffer. The book should be put onto them. I am not happy with Land Rover at all. I am a shareholder in the company and this is how I am treated.

I am an old customer of Land Rover since years and I was really satisfied with the services I got until now. An incident occurred where my car caught fire suddenly and it caused damage to my car. Thankfully, nothing happened to the passengers seated inside it, but the front part was completely damaged. The car is under warranty and has also been given for servicing on time. There was no fault with the car, but the sudden fire did take us all by surprise. Luckily, the door lock worked and the car opened and we could come out and stop the fire. I am a proud customer of Land Rover since years and this is my car of this company. I have a Range Rover sport and two Freelander 2.

I purchased this truck for my wife on January 2007 with 30,000 miles. On August 2007, my truck was hit by some guy from Indiana who didn't have insurance (by this time, I had 32,000 miles), but I was fortunate to have full coverage on my vehicle. I had my car towed to the Land Rover dealership in Darien and was told by Land Rover to have my car towed to Coatling's Auto Body Shop because it was their preferred repair shop for Land Rover. They had to replace the front end, transmission, which they got paid by well over $25,000 for the repair (minus my $1000 deductible). I didn't get my car back until June 2008 and mysteriously, I had 42,000 miles on my vehicle.

Loud humming noise from the rear end started 400 miles after warranty was up. It will cost over 5K to repair. Zero covered. Land Rover does not stand behind this issue. You can google Land Rover rear differential problem and get thousands of issues. Just look at Land Rover’s only website. Land Rover has not done a recall on this issue or anything about it.

While driving home on a very cold night, the seat heater in our 2003 Discovery burned a hole in the driver's side heater. Research shows that this is not the first time that this has happened to Discovery owners. We bought the car new and I loved it until now. I called the Land Rover National Headquarters and was told that they would look into it.

I purchased a 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharge from Santa Monica Rover on November 26, 2011. 15 days later, on December, the check engine light came on. I took the car in for service at Encino Land Rover, $1,024.69 dollars later, the car was ready and running. On January 4, 2012, again the check engine light came back on again. I took it back to Encino Land Rover again on January 10, 2012, the dealership called and say it's the transmission needs replace at a cost of $7,500. there was an extended warranty on this 2006 that ended on the 29th of December 2011. Need to get the repairs done on this car and need to figure out what sort of compensation can be extended.

The drive shaft rusted/disintegrated at 75,000 miles, leaving us stranded in the roadway. The Land Rover N.A. is caustic and rude, and refuses to assist in repair or payment. Local dealer has never responded or acknowledged. The repair cost $9,000.

Driveshaft broke on my 2003 Land Rover Discovery. There is a recall for the 2003 Range Rover for the same problem, same year for the truck but the recall doesn't exist for the Discovery! Numerous complaints are all over the internet regarding the same issue! Land Rover refuses to do anything about it. In fact, the person I spoke to at Land Rover said "I'm not really sure what you should do?” really?

My name is Francesca and I recently moved to Antibes, France with my daughters Chiara and Allegra. We are English and chose our new car three years ago from Land Rover Azur Cars. A Defender 90 in gun metal grey --love at first sight!

My Land Rover LSE current has 28,500 miles on it--mostly city miles (it is four years old). I have been forced to replace front and back brakes ($2300) and tires ($1200), all of which were not covered by warranty. I recently had to replace the stablizer (which fills the air in the suspension system) for $1200, also not covered by warranty.

I have had my Land Rover LR2 for 6 months. It has cost me several thousands of dollars in repairs now and has never completely run without an issue. It's a 2008 with 50k miles. No one, including Land Rover certified technicians, can issue me any sensible answer to this horrible vehicle I am now stuck with. I should have bought a KIA.

The car has 50,000 miles on it and I have had to replace the power steering shaft at a cost of $1,600. The horn button broke off and they do not sell just the button, they make you replace the entire horn. Most recently, my check engine light is reporting miss fires and they are recommending replacing all wires and spark plugs at a cost of $1,100. All of this within a 3 month period - awesome.

I just bought a new 2011 Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE. And on the day I was supposed to pick up the vehicle, I was told that those vehicles do not come with floor mats. I have to buy one. I was shocked and asked the sales rep (very pleasant and helpful), how such an expensive vehicle come without floor mats. The cheapest Toyota offers that. After a while, I got a call that the manager will put complimentary cheap floor mats, not the original floor mats. Or I could get the original one at factory price. The problem is, in the invoice I got, it was not stated that the car comes without floor mats. And I do have to start the expenses before I enter the vehicle. Does such an expensive car really come without floor mats?

Our 2008 Freelander 2 caught fire while driving down the road. Minutes later, it burned to the ground. It was absolutely amazing and completely unprovoked. The car had 43, 000 kilometers on it. It was well-maintained; and we're heartbroken. The cause of fire -- who the hell knows? It's gone!

It's amazing how many complaints there are about Land Rover cars. If you are considering buying one of these, don't! My latest "fix" was the back hatch on my 2005 LR3 that broke. The dealer said that it would cost between $600-$900 to fix. I got it fixed today at a local repair shop for $115 and that included new tail light bulbs and replacing the headlight bulb which have had to be replaced 10 times in six years! Way too much stuff to complain about here, but these have to be the worst made cars since the Yugo.

I have a 2004 HSE Range Rover with only 87,000 miles. Nothing was wrong with my truck except the recall for the shaft in which I just had done by the dealership in Wayne, PA. I drove the car not even two months, and now, they are telling me I need a transmission. I did research and those transmissions are supposed to last at least 225,000 miles. I am now convinced my truck is useless and will continue to cause issues and problems since Land Rover cannot stand by their product. I now have a $4,000 to $5,000 transmission to install.

They sold me a gearbox that he said was visually correct and tested out fine on the bench, then shipped me a box with a front cover ripped open, input shaft mangled, cluster mangled and blue with heat. A mess and easy mess to see, advise them at all times.

I scheduled my leased vehicle for a routine maintenance and was told they I will probably need tires and brakes done in the future. I was given a quote. The work was performed without my consent and nothing was done to correct the issue.

The 2004 Land Rover Discovery always had ticking noise in engine. It was in six times under warranty and never fixed. It became worse at 62,000 miles. I was told I need a new motor because a cylinder sleeve slipped. Lana will give me $5000 and I now have a perfectly maintained worthless vehicle.

Purchase 2003 Land Rover four yrs ago. Oil changed every 3,500 miles. With only 54k miles, my engine die with no notice.Oil light did not come on. Check engine light did not come on. Found out later that the 2003 and 2004 had serious engine defect. Do not buy the 2003 or 2004 Land Rover Discovery.

My 2008 range rover was stolen and all of my audio and video equipment was taken out of the car. The car has been at Darien, CT Land Rover (poor dealership) since March 14th 2010. It's been 5 1/2 months and I am still getting a runaround as to when the replacement parts are going to be in the USA. I have contacted as many people as possible as I could to get this rectified but to no avail. My biggest complaint is that their senior management is very incompetent and are not able or just won't get involved, including Gary ***! I should have listened to consumer reports who rates this vehicle at the bottom of all their categories--service, problems and headaches! Range Rover UK and Tata motors, hope you take this seriously because your poor management team here in America stinks-- as do your cars!

All of the damages that I am listing are due to a weak fault of Land Rover and listed on their monthly newsletter or recall status and I have severe damages to my engine at this point. I have written to this line before and you people do not do anything. You are a worthless fraud. This system of writing this type of complaint is a fraud system in and of itself.

I purchased an '03 Land Rover Discovery. It instantly started having problems. The worst being when I was told my check engine light was on due to a cracked radiator. This was an out an out lie. The light was on due to two plug wires that were just a year old, falling off. The wires being off burnt up the ignition coil. Land Rover put the wires on but would not warranty their work. When I called the home office, I was told the service writer wrote the light was on because I brought it in with a cracked radiator. My radiator wasn't cracked when I brought it in so I refused to have it replaced.

I bought a new Land Rover LR3 in 2005. About 2 weeks ago after driving it back from SC on a 4-hour trip, the car began to stall and the engine light came on. The temperature gauge was normal. I immediately stopped the vehicle and then checked the oil and fluid levels. The car had been perfectly maintained by the dealer since it was new. A Land Rover-certified mechanic was within a couple of blocks of the incident and quickly ran a diagnosis test on the LR3. He determined it was water in the gasoline from a recent fill-up some 30 miles previously. He put something in the gas tank and told me to drive it out. Apparently, the additive contained a large amount of alcohol and the last fill-up had ethanol in the gasoline.

I have a new LR2 HSE 2009 and I have been plagued with all kinds of problems. I know that all cars have problems but it is the service that matters. I believed that when a person jumps to the luxury class of vehicles that service is better. That's a Big 'NO' with Land Rover Ottawa. Just now (06/18/2010) my rover has been sitting at the dealer for 8 days, I called to see what's going on and this is what they tell me -"your vehicle has been ready for days but will have to come back again for more service, we are waiting for parts and it may take a few weeks" what the hell is that. I leave my rover at the dealer for 8 days while I rent a car then only after I call I find out that nothing has been done and I have to bring it back for more repairs.

I purchased a new 2004 Land Rover Discovery Series II from Jacksonville Land Rover (Matheny). With less than 50,000 miles, the dealership had my car for 21 days, then advised my entire engine needed to be replaced. I paid 5 grand. Now, with 92,000 miles (47,000 on this new engine), once again my engine has been diagnosed as "terminal". Are you kidding me? That's 2 engines with 92,000 miles. LR Corporate wants to know "what I expect". It was a total joke. It is a huge finance burden. Corporate takes no responsibility and fault. The car is a complete lemon. I take excellent care of my car, doing oil changes, etc. This should not be allowed to happen.

I purchased a used Land Rover Discovery in 2007 from a Land Rover dealership. The vehicle had 45,000 miles on it. Soon after we moved to Kansas and in the middle of a snow storm, 2 of my window motors went out and the windows wouldn't go up. So I took it to the dealership here and at a cost of $200.00 each, I replaced them. Then I had to fix the head gasket due to a leak. In 2009, the oil pressure light came on and the vehicle died. I towed it to the dealership and was told the engine had an oil pump failure and you can't just replace the oil pump by design you have to replace the engine. Next, I learn from the internet (not the dealership) that there was a technical report sent out for my VIN range that warned dealerships of oil pump failures.

I bought a 2003 LandRover Discovery in 2006 with sixty thousand miles on it. I have put about 4K dollars into repairs, which include crankshaft seals twice, secondary air pump twice, head gasket. I am now on an additional $2300 for a wheel assembly, condenser housing, another secondary air pump. With all this, the dealer mechanic cannot figure out why the vehicle is running rough. So it will be an additional seven hundred dollars to pull the engine apart to find out what is wrong as their equipment cannot get a read of the codes. Lesson learned, I will never buy another foreign vehicle as this thing has been a financial nightmare. I have only put 30 thousand miles on it since 2006.

In January 2008, I purchased a 2003 Land Rover Discovery Series II HSE with 44K miles. When I purchased the vehicle, the selling dealer had performed an inspection which noted the vehicle in great condition. I also received a CARFAX report noting the vehicle had a good history. In February 2008, I brought the vehicle to Land Rover dealer to have a full inspection of the vehicle. This was mainly for peace of mind on the condition of the used vehicle as determined by certified Land Rover mechanics. The inspection report noted that the vehicle was in great condition with no issues needing to be addressed. But along with the evaluation paperwork provided by the Land Rover dealer was a Land Rover Technical Alert. The Technical Alert stated the following:

The vehicle surges forward when stopped. I already complained to the dealer. They tell me there is no problem and yet I continue to experience the surge. I fear that I might lose control of the vehicle.

I have wanted a Land Rover since the late 80's - it has always been my favorite! In 2006 I purchased a 2003 LR Discovery from Bolufe car dealership in Miami, FL. The truck only had 39000 miles and seemed in great shape. I only had the car for approximately 4 months when everything started going wrong. I have replaced switch and router on three of the windows- and two of them are broken again.

I purchased my 2002 Land Rover Discovery from Peoples Jeep in Folsom, CA in July of 2007, but the dealership is now closed. Since then, I have paid close to $9000 in repairs. I owe way more than the SUV is worth and am very disappointed with my decision to purchase this lemon, which is, from what I've heard, a lot of them are!

When I purchased my used certified 2003 Land Rover Discovery in November 2006, the problems began immediately. I have had all window motors break once every 6 months for the past two years. From the beginning, it had a nasty leak and I had it taken to the dealership on several different occasions to fix the problem. Successfully, the leak would begin again. They said it’s a faulty seal in oil cap. As time goes on, I'm sick and tired of taking to the dealership and getting the same outcome over and over. Humbly, I drive my car to an automotive place and ask if he could kindly put my car up on racks and tell me what exactly is leaking. It turns out my transfer case leaks, my radiator has lost all bolts and is all over in the hood and steering fluid is leaking. For almost two years, my transfer case has been faulty and never once did they fix. I have taken that machine in on multiple occasions for blown fuses that blow over and over, short in wires and heat blowing out at all times under my legs.

I am looking for some support from a group. I leased a 2008 Range Rover Sport HSE in August 2008 and have been into service 7 times for many issues. The one issue that I have is a delay acceleration during a left-hand turn, which almost got me into a car accident a couple of times. It was explained to me by the service tech that as the car is down shifting and you accelerate, the delay occurs because it's trying to figure out what gear it is in.

I bought a Land Rover LR2 from the dealership in 2006. Here it is in 2009 and the engine is blown and needs repairs. The bill is $10,410.98, not including the $200 to tow it there and the $250 to find the problem. So it’s for a total of $10,860.98. I had the truck for 3 years and had every service and upkeep done by Land Rover. When you buy these trucks, the salesman just tells how reliable the truck is and what a great resale value it has. It’s all lies and the Land Rover trucks are a rip off and the quality is horrible. The last Land Rover I bought I had for three years. I put $11,000 worth of repairs in it and they bought it back for $3,000. I bought the truck for $40,000. Worst trucks on the market today. The service people are horrible as well. Nothing but a nightmare. They got me once, suckered me into buying another one and now I’m done and wish I never walked into the showroom. Anybody who has a Land Rover and they will tell you the same story.

My car was towed on 8/3/09 due to overheating and leak of fluids. I was called and told that my thermostat had blown and it had to be replaced. I had the work done and the car was picked up (Thursday night). I heard a noise as if something was loose and called the dealer to inform them, along with a complaint that my passenger side mirror was broken (Friday morning). I was told to bring the car back but work would not allow me to go that day. So, on the following day (Saturday), I took it back.

I went to buy a small item for my Land Cruiser 1997, a cabled break fluid cylinder cover (costing SR38). The agent gave me the wrong item. I do not know Arabic and had asked my mechanic to write it in Arabic on a piece of paper, which he did. I wasted one hour and had to leave with the wrong part since the shop was closing for mid-day break.

We bought a 2004 Range Rover HSE from BMC (British Motor Corporation) San Francisco, CA. We have had nothing but problems with it from day 1. At last, my wife was driving home from work on Hwy 92 in San Mateo Bridge and the SUV blew up. She was 9 months pregnant and the car’s transmission went. We have never serviced it at any other dealer other than BMC & Range Rover of Redwood City. No 3rd party repairs. We had it serviced at BMC for every service and fluid change well after the warranty expired at 50K. She had to abandon the car after being told Range Rover Roadside could not be there for an hour plus. She had to then walk down the on ramp at 9 at night and call a cab.

I have a 2003 Discovery II. The car at 90 km had engine problem, and I was told it will be replaced under warranty. But later, I found that they just changed the upper block, and it took them 9 months, believe it or not, to fix the car. I came back to the dealer for heat and clicking noise problems and ended up paying for these problems, though I told them that I never had these problems with my previous engine.

My 2008 Range Rover was in a accident in November 2008. It is now June 2009 and my vehicle is still in the shop for repairs. Land Rover didn't have parts for the vehicle for eight months. I have been paying insurance and loan payments ever since on a car I couldn't use. Land Rover will only compensate me for one months loan payments. This is ridiculous!

I bought a 2007 Range Rover Supercharged from the dealership. It has been in the shop for over a month since the end of January, 3 times for the same thing. I resent the way I am being treated, the amount of time they needed to service a vehicle, how many times I needed to ask the same question over and over. I am still waiting for my owner's manual to learn how to use my DVD players in the back seats. I have been driving their rugged and dirty loaner for 3 weeks now and I want my car back. They promised me my car would be returned this afternoon and they didn't keep their word. I left a message for Ed to call me and he blew it off, again.

I have a 2005 LR3. The car in the first year wore out a set of tires due to a problem with engineering. It was a recall issue that has been resolved. Now I am having problems with the leather seats. My LR3 has about 27K miles on it and is not driven much as I have another car. I have been working with their poor excuse for customer support for 3 months trying to get one of their reps to look at it. The Customer Service rep I was assigned calls me and leaves a message about setting something up and I usually call her back within an hour. It then takes her another 7 to 10 days to call me back again. We have been in this look for 3 months. They finally called me to get me and the rep together and I had an appointment that day that was a conflict and was told that the rep could only see me at 3 pm on that day; otherwise, it would be his next trip. It took me 3 months to get this trip offered. I am taking it up above her. This is my second and last Land Rover. They do not care about their customers since Ford sold the company. I would say, do not buy one of these cars if you expect good customer service - it is non-existent.

My car has smelled bad and losing anti-freeze for 3 years. I have had my car in the shop at least 15 times. They failed to find the problem. They acknowledge the problem but yet failed to address or rectify it.

Wife and I were driving home last night when out of nowhere we smelled something unusual coming from the car. I immediately pulled over and thought I saw smoke coming from the car. I told my wife to exit the car and when I approached the hood, fire started dripping out under the car. I immediately called 911 to get the fire department, but within 2 minutes, the entire Range Rover was up in flames. The firemen told us that there must have been some defect because the car went up too fast and there was no kill switch on the fuel line.

The purpose of this letter is to document complete customer dissatisfaction as set forth below. I have never written a complaint letter before, but I felt compelled to do so following a very bad experience with a Land Rover vehicle. In short, I am completely dissatisfied and will never contemplate purchase of a Land Rover vehicle in the future. A brief summary of my two-year experience is outlined below.

Daughters 2002 Freelander overheated without any notice. Coolant was gone and engine seized up. Apparently, this is a common problem with these.

Bought new 2002 Land Rover Freelander in April 2002 from Darien, Connecticut dealer. The car has only 37,000 miles on it. The engine has a manufacturer defect and blew last week and had to be towed to the dealership. The transmission blew not too long ago and it also turns out it had a defect in manufacture. The problem here is that Land Rover does NOTHING about these manufacture defects and expects you to just buy another Land Rover!

I bought a Land Rover Freelander 2002 new from a dealer in Connecticut. I serviced it as I was obliged to, and did not have any issues with the vehicle until exactly one month after the warranty expired after the 4 year mark, that it started to have major, expensive mechanical defects. First, the transmission blew and needed full replacement at a huge cost. Now, just this past week, the engine has blown and I am told by the dealer that I need to have the engine replaced at $7,000.

I own a 2003 Freelander Land Rover with 60K miles. As I was driving down the highway, the fuel pump stopped working completely, which required an immediate pullover without power steering. I contacted Land Rover regarding the issue in San Antonio, Texas, and they refused to discuss my concern. I later realized that an engineering analysis is ongoing to determine whether a recall is necessary. Please add me to the list of complaints.

I purchased a brand new 2005 LR3 SEV8 in March 2005. I had about 2-3 months of carefree driving with this vehicle, and then it has been one problem after another. To be fair to the dealer and Land Rover, the items are covered under warranty, but the time and inconvenience caused has been ridiculous for such a premium brand. To this date (May 17,2008) I cannot drive my vehicle more than a week after service without getting an orange warning light. My vehicle is at the service department at least 1-2 times per month. Problems I have had to date:

I have been a lease holder with the Larchmont, New Rochelle Land Rover Dealership since 2003. The first lease I had was a 2003 Freelander which I returned in 2006. In March 2006, I leased a used 2005 LR3. Although this vehicle is considered to be of great prestige, I have had nothing but problems with this particular model.

$4,00 bill.

I brought my new range rover sport for the 1st service at 6200 miles. I also noticed squeaking in the brakes since I bought the vehicle. So when I brought it in I mentioned that they always squeak. Oh they said, it's probably brake dust. It took an hour to check me in that day, I didn't get a loaner car, they wouldn't provide me with one. So I waited. When they finished the service 21/2 hours later. They told me my brakes are completely worn. I need new brakes and the price is 1400.00 dollars. WHAT!!!I said I have a warranty, brakes aren't supposed to go in under 15000 miles. Plus 1400 miles out of the 6200 aren't local miles the car was driven up from a Florida dealership because NY didn't have white. So that means my brakes went in 4800 miles. Plus when they gave me back the vehicle it was unwashed and they treated me rudely. Especially the manager Mary. So I complained to land rover's main office in NJ. They still won't replace the brakes. They are unable to tell if they are defective because they are already worn down. So I'm stuck replacing the brakes. I filed a complaint to BBB. And I will do whatever it takes to make sure they lose business. I'm also selling the truck.

While driving my 2006 Land Rover LR3 with 28k miles, the engine ignited on fire.During the past 10 months of ownership, purchasing it new from the dealership, the LR3 has had ignition problems, a radio replaced, uneven wear on all 4 factory installed Goodyear tires (which now must be replaced). What in the world is going on with what I thought was going to be a safe and wise- though expensive investment? While waiting a few days for the dealership to investigate, my own investigation has sadly turned up MANY MANY issues and problems across the country with the LR3.

I still owe a years payments on the vehicle and face $6,000 in repairs. We were told by service tech the overflow resevoirs were cracking on the Freelanders.

I have a lease 2005. It was leased in March 2006. My LR3 stalled on me three times and although Land Rover has provided me with their utmost service assistance, I am not satisfied with the vehicle. My concern is the stalling problem and my life. The vehicle was going 70 miles an hour when it stalled resulting in putting my vehicle in neutral and starting the engine. If I was not knowledgable in placing the vehicle in neutral, I could have had a really horrible accident which I am trying to avoid.

Purchased a very expensive luxury SUV in April 2005. Continuously break down without warning leaving the vehicle undrivable. Cannot trust this car with family or clients. The car is useless if you cannot trust it. It is in the service department constantly. They now valet it back since it has been repaired so many times. I am totally frustrated since LAND ROVER will do nothing to recognize this vehicle is TERRIBLE. They have my money...the end. My warranty expires in 6500 miles and I am forced to trade it in and lose much. I have been stranded so many times that I no longer drive the car.

Lost a U-Joint at 60K miles. No reason to have this happen this landrover has been in the shop more than any other vechile I have ever owned. I was told by customer service Sorry this happened we will note it I found out the local dealer has 10 u-joints in stock, why would they have 10 in stock if this is not a problem.

Could be up to 7,000 dollars in service. My daughter was sick for a month.

I took into the dealer, they fixed.

We purchased a used 2001 LandRover Dicovery II with 18,000 miles on it from Bellevue Auto House after checking the service records from the Land Rover dealer. The records were impeccable and the car seemed to be in great shape. Since then we have continued with the service consistency and added an additional 20,000 miles to the vehicle. Our 4 year warranty ran out 10 months ago and we did not buy an extended warranty.

I have a 1991 Range Rover that has both right and left rear wheelhouses for seatbelts that have rusted away. This is a serious saftey issue....that has been brought to their attention, which they have chosen to ignore. I took pictures, brought the vehicle to Land Rover, and also made numerous phone calls.

I purchased a 2004 Range Rover from Land Rover Newport Beach. The vehicle had significant problems, including a suspension malfunction which required it to be towed to the dealer several times and was only repaired after 3 attempts and about 20 days in the shop.

Defective liner on a brand new Land Rover Discovery 2004. First we had water leaks, then after two repairs the lining started coming apart from the roof of the car.

Loss of the vehicle that I purchased. Inconvenience. Loss of the vehicle that I purchased and continue to pay for. I have been provided with a Toyota Camry as a loaner for the first month, yesterday I was provided with a Ford Explorer as a loaner.

I had leased a 2002 Freelander. I returned the car in Nov 2005. I finalized all the remaining payments, wear & tear, etc when I returned the car. Land Rover Capital Group has now contacted me, stating the I still owe them over $400. They say that there is a disposal fee that I need to pay, which apparently was not collected. I don't understand because I thought everything was finalized and taken care of when I returned the car.

We have owned the new LR3 model car of Land Rover since 12/04. Since the car was five months new, we have been experiencing off and on total system control failure. At any random given point in time, the car stalls, does not turn on, sometimes you can not accelerate or brake while driving the vehicle. This is the ultimate scare any driver could experience.

My brand new LR3 has completely stut off while going 60 mph in the fast lane with my family in the car. It has shut off while driving several times since then. Each time I have brought the car to service they have replaced at least 5 parts. They are as follows: key phobs (3 times), right rear molding (just kept falling off), sunroof motor (open only when raining), passenger side seat belt (went to buckle up and came off in our hands, stereo speakers (couldn't hear the stereo), the starter (car towed for the second time), rear windshield wiper motor, front door moling, back seat ash tray (we don't smoke but at this point it's principal), knobs for lumbar support (fell off in hand), drivers door handle, the part that raises the car up and down, and several other parts.

After two and a half years of living an unmitigated nightmare with Land Rover, I have come to the end of my rope. The first car I had, a 2002 Freelander, was in the shop SEVENTEEN times before they finally agreed to give me another one to finish out my lease. Now, I have a 2004 Freelander that has been back in the shop six times already!!! And to add injury to insult, they promised me a loaner car then denied me one after I had spent a lot of time and agravation sitting in traffic. These people are the absolute WORST busines people I ahve ever seen!!!! They treat people with such little regard, it is truly amazing that they are stil in business!!

My 1999 Land Rover Discovery II became undriveable in July of 2004 due to a premature failure of the transfer case. The failure came shortly after the end of the warranty and with only around 54,000 miles on it. Ford/Landrover called this normal wear and tear on the most critical driveline component in a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Land Rover America has called me and written to me saying Thank you for your complaint but this is normal wear and tear on the vehicle and it is a result of how I'm driving! This letter and telephone call only infuriated me more! I have spent over $2000.00 over the past 2 years on service and brakes alone!

Purchased used 2000 Range ROver in May 2003 from Bear Valley Land Rover in Atlanta suburb. This SUV had about 43000 miles on it with a remaining 5,000 warranty. I did not purchase an extended warranty. At about 53000 miles (all highway and city) the Transmission failed and I had to spend about $4,000 replacing it. Now at about 57,000 the air bag Block Valve and Compressor failed (I was given an estimate by LR of CHatt to replace both for about $1,800 or convert the entire air system to shocks and springs for about $2,100). I made the decision to replace the air suspension system as the dealer indicated that there could be far more expenses related to this system. Additionally my research indicated the Rover has a history of customers having substantial maintenance expenses related to failure of the air suspension components.

Freelander engine quit on 12/6/03. When car delivered to local San Antonio dealer, within two hours the dealer advises of new engine needed due to possible hydra-lock, loss of coolant, and extreme off-road abuse. Afterward, local dealer wanted me to pay an additional $800 to tear the engine apart to really see what went wrong (I denied). Local dealer recommended going to insurance to try to pay. Insurance inspects and notes either electrical or mechanical at fault and insurance wont pay.

I purchased a 2000 Range Rover from Bear Valley Land Rovers in Atlanta in approximately June 2, 2003. This vehicle had 43,000 at my purchase and had some 5,000 remaining on the original factory warranty. This vehicle was and is in pristine condition and was serviced by Bear Valley upon my purchase. At 53,000 miles the torque converter and transmission went bad and had to be replaced at a costs of approximately $4,100.

My 2001 Land Rover Discovery rolled over on 11-21 -03, resulting in total loss of the vehicle and bodily injury to me( broken clavicle) and my wife (scalp laceration). The vehicle started to sway/rock from side to side while I was still going straight on the road at about 45 mph.I was approaching a turn but this behavior started even before I attempted to make the turn. The only thing I did was to MINIMALLY adjust my position in the center of the lane I was in.

My daughter was recently in an accident in her 2002 Land Rover Discovery.

On May 4, 2000, My sister and I were on our way to the mall. I was driving on a three way lane road, I happened to look in my left mirror to make sure I wasn't going to hit anyone when I saw all this white smoke behind me. I thought I was overheating, so I pulled over, turned the car off. I looked behind me in the mirror and saw a trail of some liquid leading to the car, that's when my sister yelled there's a fire under the hood. My sister and I had enough time to grab our purses and run out of the truck. I called 911, the police showed w/in 2 minutes, by the time the fire dept showed up, the truck was engulfed in flames. The truck was towed to a tow lot and is now still there.
