Danger is the occurrence of such an event on the Highway
Fuel pump power and fuel level sensor electrical connector has undersized pins and sockets in the 4.4L and 4.2L engine equiped full sized range rovers from 06-09. The connector located on top of the fuel filter assembly on top of the fuel tank overheats and melts the plastic surrounding the copper feedthru pins connecting the fuel pump to the fuel pump relay. The pins passing thru the male portion of the connector on the fuel filter appears to be undersized. I've had three fuel pumps fail, at least one of which required the entire connector to be replaced on the vehicle (by me).

A LOT WRONG WITH VEHICLE I COULD ONLY CHOOSE 3 PROBLEMS WHICH IS DIFFICULT.
WHEN I BACKED MY RANGE ROVER UP OVER THE SIDE CURB IT LOCKED MY STEERING. I CAN ONLY TURN MY WHEEL WHEN THE TRUCK IS DRIVING IT HAS NO POWER WHILE IN JUST SITTING AT A LIGHT. MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PARK MY TRUCK BECAUSE I CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT GAS TO THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO SEE IF IT WAS POWER STEERING BUT NO NOISE THE FLUIDS ARE IN THERE.
THE STEERING COLUMN MOBIZATION HAVE GONE ON IT. AND THE RANGE ROVER DEALERSHIP WANT TO FIX IT FOR 8700.00 I CAN'T AFFORD IT AND I'M AN ELDERL. PLEASE FIND OUT IS THERE A RECALL.

IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED OUT OF PARK, THE SIDE MIRRORS FAILED TO MOVE.

I WAS TOLD BY THE LAND ROVER SERVICE MANAGER SHON TORRES THAT THE STEERING COLUMNS ON VEHICLES OF THIS MANUFACTURING YEAR AND THE YEARS SURROUNDING IT HAVE OFTEN HAD ISSUES WHERE THE STEERING COLUMN WILL STOP RECOGNIZING THE KEY. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT MANY TIMES NO KEYS CAN BE REPROGRAMMED TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND AT THAT POINT YOU WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW DYEING COLUMN WHICH COSTS AROUND $10,000. THIS HAS HAPPENS ONCE SO FAR AND I HAD TO PURCHASE 2 NEW KEYS AND HAVE THEM PROGRAMMED. ONE DAY I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK AND WHEN I FOR IN IT TO LEAVE FOR THE NIGHT, IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, NOT EVEN WOULD THE LIGHTS COME ON. #2 IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITHIN THE SAME MODELS THAT THERE IS A LEAK THAT HAPPENS SOMEWHERE NEAR THE REAR WIRING WHEN IT RAINS IT CAUSES THERE TO BE A FAULTY CONNECTION TO THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND CAUSES A SHORT IN THE ABILITY OF THE RADIO TO STAY ON AND PERFORM CORRECTLY. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAPPENS OFTEN. SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN 15 MINUTES TIME AND SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN ONCE IN 15 MINUTES, BUT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. THE RADIO WILL CUTOFF AND SOMETIMES AFTER A FEW MINUTES COME BACK ON, OR IT WILL STAY OFF. IF YOU TURN THE RADIO OFF MANUALLY IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN POP BACK ON. THE DVD PLAYER DOES THE SAME.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO PREMATURELY SPLIT ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD SURFACE AROUND THE ENTIRE OUTLINE OF THE AIRBAG. THE CRACK HAS PROGRESSED IN A PRECIOUS OUTLINE OF THE CUTOUT OF THE AIRBAG. AFTER CONTACTING LAND ROVER OF AMERICA ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THEY CONSIDERS THIS AS A "WEAR AND TEAR" AND THEY STATE THIS WILL NOT EFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. NOTE: THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT OWNERS OF THE 2006-2009 MODELS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING (PER MULTI LAND ROVER WEBSITE FORUMS) THAT LAND ROVER HAS NOW REDESIGNED THE DASHBOARD ON THE NEWER MODELS TO HAVE THE CUTOUT OF THE AIRBAG ALREADY DESIGNED INTO THE DASHBOARD SO THIS TYPE OF DEFECT WILL NOT OCCUR. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS TYPE OF DESIGN DEFECT ESPECIALLY IF THE AIRBAG IS NEEDED DURING A COLLISION WHETHER IT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY AND THE FACT THAT LAND ROVER OF AMERICA IS INSTRUCTING ITS CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES TO ADVISE CONSUMERS THAT THIS IS A "WEAR AND TEAR" ISSUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE FOR THE DOT NHTSA TO REVIEW MY CONCERNS AND CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION WITH LAND ROVER REGARDING THIS MATTER ON MY 2006 RANGE ROVER SPORT. THANK YOU *TR
THERE IS A RECALL ON MY FRONT BRAKE LINES. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15V-039. I HAD MY BRAKE LINES REPLACED PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING ISSUED. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES FOR FREE OR REIMBURSE ME IF I HAD THE LINES DONE PRIOR TO THE RECALL. I PRESENTED A RECEIPT FOR THE REPAIR AND THE DEALER IN LITTLE ROCK IS REFUSING TO REIMBURSE ME. THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIR MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED LAND ROVER DEALER USING LAND ROVER PARTS. I HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED USING LAND ROVER PARTS, HOWEVER I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A DEALER. MY MECHANIC WORKED FOR THIS DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IS AN AUTHORIZED LAND ROVER MECHANIC WHEN HE LEFT. I VIEW THIS AS AN ATTEMPT TO TRY AND NOT PAY ME AND I DON'T THINK IT IS REASONABLE OR FAIR. I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE SOME ASSISTANCE! *TR
