2014 Land Rover Range Rover Problems

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. The vehicle does not display any warnings even if dangerously low on oil - no warning sign will display. 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.

MY CAR DID NOT TELL ME WHAT THE RECALL WAS, AND IT WAS NOT REPAIRED SUCCESSFULLY, BUT MY MAIN DRIVING DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED AND LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY; ANOTHER FAULT IS THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A LOUD FRICTION SOUND WHILE DRIVING, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED FOR ME; THERE IS ALSO THE FEELING THAT THE LOWER HALF OF THE DOOR IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF, LIKE A BROKEN CAR; BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE FAULTS, MY CAR WAS BASICALLY PARKED AT HOME.

ROOF TRIM PIECE BLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HEARD A BANG NOISE ON MY ROOF AND WHEN I PULLED OVER I SAW MY PASSENGER ROOF TRIM STRIP HAD BLOWN OFF. WAS ONLY GOING 40 MPH.

The side/front airbags wire harness system are in and under the driver/or passenger seat and become disconnected when you move the seats, therefore making it so the side and front airbags won’t work. This is said to be a known issue says the dealership but not covered under any circumstances even though they detailed my car after having for two months trying to fix my brakes with no airbag issues and now I have this airbag light on and issue with my airbags. But it’s also a known safety issue flaw I was told by the manager at the mission viejo ca dealership ! Unacceptable!

Malfunction light is on

We first received notice of the recall on December 18, 2024. The front right suspension knuckle joint was making a clicking noise for several weeks and has now cracked and detached the suspension arm on the front right wheel. Thus making my car completely unsafe to drive. The manufacturer gave me an unclear answers for an extended period of time. They have now confirmed that the part is on back order and unavailable to order and they don’t know when it will be available to order. At this point, I don’t feel safe driving my car. I need the manufacturer, Land Rover, to either buy back my vehicle or to give me a rental or loaner car for the foreseeable future, until they are able to repair my car or replace my car altogether. I live in Woodland Hills, CA and there are two dealerships in close proximity which are available to provide a solution for me. I am a mother and I have three small children. This is our family’s primary car for daily transportation for my children to and from school and all activities. It is imperative that this is addressed immediately.

Front wheel knuckle failure. I received an email last year on a recall for specific VINs for this failure and my VIN does not apply within the specific years of 2014-2016. I have a 2014 L405 Land Rover and am very concerned of this failure. I would like this complaint filed and Land Rover to replace these knuckles before someone dies or is seriously injured.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT THERE IS A SKIPPING/GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER VEHICLE AROUND THE TRANSFER CASE. I'VE HAD THE FLUIDS FLUSHED BUT NOISE STILL REMAINS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN UNDER MORE TORQUE LIKE GOING UP A HILL.

I PURCHASED MY NEW VEH IN MAY OF 2014. FROM THAT TIME UNTIL NOVEMBER, MY VEH DROVE/SHIFTED SMOOTH. I TOOK MY VEH IN FOR ITS 1ST SERVICE ON NOV. 25TH, 2014 AND AT THAT TIME THEY PERFORMED A TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE. SINCE LEAVING WITH MY VEH, I NOTICED IT DROVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IT SHIFTED HARD, CLUNKED INTO GEAR & NO LONGER DRIVES LIKE A PREMIUM, NEW VEHICLE. I ADVISED MY SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX] A FEW DAYS LATER. AT THAT TIME HE SCHEDULED AN APT TO BRING IN & CHECK IT OUT. I ARRIVED FOR MY APT ON DEC 16TH, HAD THE SERVICE ADVISOR DRIVE WITH ME SO I COULD SHOW HIM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL THAT MY VEH WAS "READY TO BE PICKED UP". I ASKED "DOES THAT MEAN IT IS FIXED?" HE REPLIED, "AT THIS TIME, WE & LAND ROVER ARE AWARE OF YOUR CONCERN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO REMEDY/FIX AT THIS TIME." THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THERE WAS A KNOWN FIX/REPAIR. I PICKED MY VEH UP, & SINCE THEN, IT DRIVES EVEN WORSE. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE DEPT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY IT IS "SAFE TO DRIVE", THAT I DO NO FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. IN THE MORNINGS, THE SHIFTS ARE SO VIOLENT THAT I FEEL LIKE I AM DOING FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA (REP:[XXX]: 800.452.4827 EXT. [XXX]0) SEVERAL TIMES, HE STATES THE SAME THING, "LAND ROVER IS AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX AT THIS TIME". IN MY OPINION, THIS VEHICLE IS CLASSIFIED AS A "LEMON" BECAUSE I CANNOT OPERATE IT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR & FEEL SAFE, & THE DEALERSHIP/CAR MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY/FIX NOR CAN THEY TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. (I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE NOW FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS & THINK THE TIME FRAME I HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR IS MORE THAN REASONABLE, WHICH IS WHY I AM PROCEEDING NOW WITH FURTHER ACTION). THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

The contact owns a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the front driver's side door unexpectedly opened due to a latch failure. The contact stated that he drilled some holes and installed wires to keep the front driver's side door securely closed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 147,260.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. MY EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS BUCKLED IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SEAT. MY WIFE WAS LOADING GROCERIES IN THE TRUNK. SOME ITEMS SHIFTED AS SHE WAS LOADING THEM. THESE ITEMS MADE CONTACT WITH THE BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE WALL OF THE TRUNK THAT CONTROL THE INCLINE/DECLINE OF THE REAR SEATS. THE BUTTON WAS ACTIVATED AND THE SEAT MY DAUGHTER WAS SEATED IN STARTED TO DECLINE. SHE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO RESIST THE DECLINE AND THE SEAT FORCED HER TO NEAR HORIZONTAL BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO REVERSE THE SWITCH. SHE ESCAPED INJURY, BUT IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT AN INJURY COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS HAD THE SEAT DECLINED FURTHER. THESE BUTTONS NEED TO BE PROTECTED IN SOME FASHION TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ENGAGEMENT.

The contact’s husband owned a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated while driving at 40 MPH in the rain, she moved into the slow lane as another vehicle was passing her vehicle, the vehicle started sliding back and forth, felt unstable, and was heading towards the median lane. The contact stated that as she extended her body and was moving her dog from the front passenger’s side seat onto the floorboard, the vehicle flipped a total of 8 times and landed upside down. The contact stated that an unknown door of the vehicle flew open in that process. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V387000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The air bags deployed. The contact was able to exit the vehicle. The emergency units arrived at the scene and provided first aid to the contact. The contact sought medical assistance and it was diagnosed that the contact’s gallbladder threw a stone that was blocking a bile duck. The contact underwent two emergency gallbladder surgeries. Additionally, the contact sustained neck and shoulder injuries that aggravated a preexisting condition. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot where it was totaled. A police report was filed. The contact notified the Porsche dealer where the vehicle was purchased but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

I HAVE THE 2014 RANGE ROVER WITH THE V6 SUPERCHARGED GAS ENGINE. DURING A ROLLING START, SUCH AS ROLLING START TO PERFORM A U-TURN OR MERGING INTO A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATION IS DELAYED BY AT LEAST 2 SECONDS, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY DURING MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY THE 2 SECONDS ACCELERATION LAG COULD SEND FALSE INFORMATION TO THE OTHER CARS AND MADE ME ALMOST CRASH FOR A FEW TIMES. IT SHOULD BE A TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE GOING APPROX. 2 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST THAT IT JUMP ONTO THE CURB AND HIT A TREE. LUCKILY, I DID NOT HIT A PERSON OR ANOTHER CAR. HOWEVER, MY BRAND NEW CAR IS NOW IN THE BODY SHOW AND IS ESTIMATED TO COST AT LEAST $40K. IT COMPLETELY DAMAGED THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. ITS MIND BOGGLING TO ME HOW THE SPEED ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT SO FAST. NOTE THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN BECAUSE IT IS IN THE BODY SHOP. ALSO, IT IS THE RANGE ROVER SPORT 2014 (THAT OPTION WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SELECTION SO I JUST CHOSE RANGE ROVER 2014). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SIDE-VIEW MIRROR EXTERIOR OBSTRUCTING HIS VIEW WHEN TURNING LEFT DUE TO THE LOCATION AND THE SIZE OF THE MIRROR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE MIRROR WAS NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 900.

OUR 2014 RANGE ROVER SPORT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR DEACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY DURING MULTIPLE TRIPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER 7-12 MINUTES THE INDICATOR LIGHT NEAR THE SUNSHADE BUTTON WILL ILLUMINATE TO NOTE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED OR IS NOT OPERATIONAL; EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER IS SITTING CORRECTLY AND MAINTAINING CONSTANT WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. MOVING AROUND THE SEAT OR SHIFTING WEIGHT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER WILL NOT EXTINGUISH THE INDICATOR LIGHT; HOWEVER BRIEFLY UNBUCKLING THE SEAT BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND THEN QUICKLY BUCKLING THE SEAT BELT WILL CAUSE THE INDICATOR LIGHT TO SHUT OFF FOR 7 TO 12 MINUTES. AFTER THIS UNBUCKLING AND BUCKLING PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AGAIN. THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THIS VEHICLE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS. LAND ROVER ALSO NEVER MENTIONED TO ME THAT THIS ISSUES HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER RANGE ROVER VEHICLES. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS SEVERELY UNDERILLUMINATED. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE DAY AND THERE IS NO OTHER VISUAL OR AUDIO QUEUE TO THE DRIVER THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED. THIS IS TROUBLING BECAUSE YOU MAY NEVER NOTICE THE ISSUE UNLESS IT OCCURS AT NIGHT, BUT EVEN THEN IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THE DARK.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
