2010 Land Rover LR4 Problems

2021-08-11 Recall no. 21V635000 / Land Rovers recall # N623 were completed. Following the recall repair had to go back to dealer twice ( 9/15/22 & 10/22/22) for the same issue of the fuel smell in the vehicle could be driving, parked, or idling the smell remains the smell is very overpowering kids and I are getting bad headaches/light-headed. For sure it isn't safe and don't believe the initial fix was the answer and there is more to the recall.

while driving at approximately 70 mph on the highway, I encountered a severe issue that jeopardized my safety and the safety of others on the road.The problem manifested as a fuel leak, resulting in fumes inside the vehicle that caused impairment to my ability to operate the vehicle safely. This impairment led to the vehicle entering a gated mode and initiating aggressive braking, almost causing a collision.This incident is deeply alarming, and I believe it poses a serious risk to the well-being of drivers and passengers. I am reaching out to request an immediate investigation into this matter and to seek information on any safety recalls or issues related to the fuel system of the 2010 Land Rover LR4. Fuel tank flange failure caused complex problems for engine replacement needed. Not covered by land rover and was not repaired as reported

Back in Feb 2019 my LandRover suddenly leaked a large amount of gasoline and then broke down. It stopped running and needed the fuel rail & line replaced & stabilizer bar and bushings & subsequencely complete engine replacement. I also had fluid in the engine and wrecked the engine requiring us to replace the engine.

I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES DRIVING MULTIPLE LR4 AND A RANGE ROVER SPORT (I OWN BOTH). IF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE YOU LIGHTLY REST YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL (FOR INSTANCE IN DRIVING IN CLOSE QUARTERS) THE CAR WILL ILLUMINATE MULTIPLE WANRING INDICATORS INCLUDING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, GEARBOX FAILURE, PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, ABS FAILURE, TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE, STABILITY CONTROL UNAVAILABLE AND CRUISE CONTROL UNAVAILABLE. GENERALLY WHEN THESE CONDITION OCCUR THESE SYSTEM WILL DEFAULT TO REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY MODES. THIS PROBLEM IS REPRODUCIBLE AND IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE DEALER AND LRNA. LAND ROVER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND HAS NO CURRENT FIX OR PLANNED FIX. ITS APPARENT CAUSE IS A TWO STAGE BRAKE SWITCH WHICH CAUSES A SOFTWARE FAULT WHEN ONLY ONE OF THE TWO SWITCHES IS ENGAGED. LAND ROVER CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THE FAILURE OF THESE SYSTEM DOES NOT COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. AT THE LEAST THIS FRIGHTENS THE DRIVER WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MASSIVE SYSTEMS FAILURE OR AT WORST COMPROMISES VIRTUALLY ALL THE ELECTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THE CAR. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO APPLY TO THE LR4, RANGE ROVER SPORT, RANGE ROVER AND JAGUAR MODELS THAT USE THE SAME ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND BRAKE SWITCH. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LAND ROVER LR4. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED ON ITS OWN. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. SHE WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. REPORT 7424886 WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED BY THE DEALER. THE COMPUTERS MAIN SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AFTER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10,900. UPDATED 09/24/10. *LJ

VEHICLE DRIVE SHAFT IN 'DRIVE' BUT IT'S NOT ENGAGED WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING IN MOTION, BUT THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AND ENGINE REVVED PAST 7K RPM AND THE CAR DECELERATED. "TRANSMISSION FAULT" WAS DISPLAYED AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO COAST THE CAR ACROSS FOUR BUSY LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NON RESPONSIVE GAS PETAL TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED, ALL ERROR/FAULT MASSAGES WENT AWAY AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS INCIDENT.
