Land Rover has been made aware through several complaints that there is a widespread issue with their vehicles that requires recall. Thousands of customers have reported issues in their vehicles with cylinder 4 cracked pistons resulting in engine failure. Land Rover refuses to address the issue in their vehicles causing this malfunction and costly vehicle repair. Land Rover needs to issue a recall to address and rectify this issue in their vehicles as this issue results in the vehicle losing speed and coming to a complete halt with no warning from the vehicle. This could result in death of multiple people and cause crashes. It is highly dangerous and needs to be addressed by Land Rover with urgency.

The headlight and tail light assemblies get water and moisture inside the lenses whenever it rains. This has cause one of my headlights to short out. As a result, the DRL/Turn signal on the left side headlight has stopped working. As for the rear tail light, whenever there is water inside, the tail light will flicker on/off while driving. There is always condensation inside all of the lights long after the rain has stopped and water has dried. Also in addition to the lights, the rear view camera system does not function properly when it rains or after a car wash. It will intermittently display a distorted image and sometimes no image at all, just a screen of green lines.

I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THIS AND SENT TO LANDROVER, HOWEVER THEY STILL WANT CODES EVEN AFTER TELLING ME THEY KNOW IT WILL NEVER HAVE THEM. THIS IS ALARMING AS THE CAMERA HELPS TO ENSURE NO PERSON, ANIMAL, OR OBJECT IS BEHIND VEHICLE THAT IS UNABLE TO BE SEEN WITHOUT CAMERA AS THIS VEHICLE SITS HIGH. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS OTHER SAFETY ALERTS THAT ARE PART OF THE SAME SYSTEM THAT HAS ME WORRIED COULD MALFUNCTION AT ANY POINT SUCH AS AUTO BRAKING TO PREVENT HITTING VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU AND AUTO CRUISE CONTROL THAT KEEPS A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU BY SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHILE SET. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR EVEN KILLED AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU ABOUT A FLAW IN THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSE MECHANISM ON MY 2014 RANGE ROVER SPORT. AFTER ACCIDENTALLY GETTING MY THUMB CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AND IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO WATCH AS THE AUTO CLOSE MECHANISM PULLED THE DOOR CLOSED COMPLETELY BEFORE IT WOULD RELEASE & CRUSHING MY THUMB TO THE POINT WHERE I LOST MY FINGERNAIL AND NEEDLESSNESS TO SAY, SUFFERED SEVERE PAIN IN THE PROCESS. IT WAS CLEAR IN THE SECOND OR TWO THAT IT TOOK THE DOOR TO CLOSE COMPLETELY AND TRYING TO OPEN IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES, THERE WAS NO CHANCE IT WAS GOING TO OPEN UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE CLOSER SHOULD OBVIOUSLY RELEASE WHEN THE HANDLE IS PULLED OR RECOGNIZE WHEN THERE IS RESISTANCE AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION....UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 11/9/2015*JS
