2010 Land Rover LR2 Problems

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS NEEDED REPLACEMENT! VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. STRONG NOISE COMES FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY. HIGHLY DISTRACTIVE WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED MORE THAN 30 MPH.

THIS VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE BATTERY ISSUES. THE BATTERY WILL NEVER STAY CHARGED FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS WITHOUT DRIVING IT. THE BATTERY DIES REGULARLY AND HAS LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 6 TIMES IN 3 YEARS. EACH TIME I PURCHASE A HIGH END BATTERY TO TRY TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT PERSISTS. THE BATTERY STARTS OUT GREAT, BUT OVER TIME IS WORN FURTHER AND FURTHER DOWN. THIS IS AN IN GOING ISSUE WITH MANY, MANY PEOPLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. THIS THE CAR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER USE, WHAT IF THEY ARE STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE BECAUSE THIS BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS INSUFFICIENT? LAND ROVER HAS SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT TURNS INTO SOMETHING BIGGER. PLEASE REFERENCE THE LENGTHY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T36280_DS630765 PLEASE HELP US FIX THIS ISSUE.

I HAD TO PUT A SOLAR PANEL IN MY VEHICLE TO HELP WITH THE VEHICLE FROM DYING. THE VEHICLE IS STILL DEAD AFTER THREE DAYS. I CANNOT TAKE A TRIP AWAY FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE DYING.

2010 LAND ROVER LR2. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STEERING AND REAR WHEEL PROBLEMS AND REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED EVEN THOUGH THE INVOICE STATED ALL APPLICABLE MEASUREMENTS WERE CHECKED. SPECIFICALLY, THE STEERING GEOMETRY, WHICH WAS ADJUSTED, THE CASTOR, CAMBER, KING PIN INCLINATION, TOE IN/OUT ON TURNS AND THE REAR WHEEL. THE INSPECTION REPORT SHOWED ALL SAFETY, HANDLING AND DRIVEABILITY LINE ITEMS WERE IN PROPER WORKING ORDER. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO HEAR A NOISE AND FEEL A PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE . THE CONSUMER STATED BASED ON THE NOISES, SHE WAS CONVINCED, THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION.

OUT OF NOWHERE THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING THESE LOUD, ROARING AND HUMMING NOISES THAT EVENTUALLY TURNED INTO A GRINDING NOISE. FIRST THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE BRAKES; INNER & OUTER BRAKES AS WELL AS THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITH NO CHANGES, NOISES STILL CONTINUE. AFTER THAT; ALL 4 TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH A FULL ALIGNMENT, NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP THE NOISES AT ALL. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM; IT SEEMS THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL ON THIS MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS, THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS HIGHLY AWARE OF. I'M A MOTHER OF SMALL CHILDREN AND MY MAIN CONCERN IS THEIR SAFETY IN THIS MATTER; IF THIS PROBLEM IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE, IT COULD END UP WITH THE REAR WHEELS LOCKING UP. THIS ISSUE IS VERY SERIOUS; BETTER YET, VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 2010 LR2 FROM A USED DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE ON. THE SEAT BELT WORKS JUST FINE, BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON (EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR AND HAS THEIR SEAT BELT FASTENED). I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON LR2'S FOR MY YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND I AM WORRIED THAT THEY WON'T FUNCTION IF I GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LAND ROVER LR2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MODULE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,000. ..UPDATED 07-17-13 *BF

I STARTED TO HEAR A WHIRRING NOISE SO TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR CENTER (WITHIN 48 HOURS) THAT WORKS ON LAND ROVERS (THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY LAND ROVER DEALERSHIPS IN VT) AND THEY FOUND THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS DETERIORATED (VISCOUS FLUID, METAL CHIPS SHREDDING). THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE - THEY FOUND THAT, WHEN THEY ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART, THE SUPPLIER IS GETTING THIS PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL 4-5 TIMES PER MONTH. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD EXPECT ON A 3 YR OLD CAR WITH THE SUPPOSED DURABILITY OF A LR THAT IS DRIVEN ONLY ON REGULAR ROADS (NO OFF ROAD DRIVING WHICH SUPPOSEDLY CAN BE DONE IN A LAND ROVER). LAND ROVER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS 1) OUT OF WARRANTY AND 2) I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A LR DEALER EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES AS THE NEAREST DEALER IS NOW HOURS AWAY SINCE THE VT DEALER CLOSED 2 YRS AGO AND I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IF I HAD CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL PARTS INSTALLED IN THE LAND ROVER LR2 THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY FAIL. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 LAND ROVER LR2 WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD HAS THE ELECTRIC HEATING UNIT RUNNING VERTICAL THROUGHOUT. I NOTICED THAT AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE ELECTRIC ELEMENTS BECOME A DISTRACTION BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A CLEAR VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE I END UP HAVING AN ACCIDENT OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES THAT OWNS A LAND ROVER LR2. *TR

4 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT BROKE DOWN DUE TO A LEAK IN THE ENGINE, THAT WAS FIXED. COST A 1000 TO REPAIR, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR JUMP AND STARTED TO SMOKE SO I PULLED OVER AND GOT IT TOWED. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, I NOTICED THAT THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON. ALL DAY (IT WAS PARKED). THE ONLY THING THAT GOT IT TO STOP WAS TAKING OUT THE FUSE, BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. I REPLACED THE FUSE WITH A NEW ONE YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF IN MY GARAGE. THIS CAR ALSO HAS BATTERY ISSUES. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR TWO DAYS AND THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THIS CAR IS CAUSING ME TO GO INTO DEBT DUE TO ALL THE THINGS THAT KEEP HAPPENING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS MODEL AND MAKE OF THIS VEHICLE HAS THESE PROBLEMS. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS, I CALLED LAND ROVER TO ASK IF THIS WAS A ISSUE THAT HAPPENS OFTEN AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO A CAR THAT CANNOT BE FIXED.
