2016 Land Rover Range Rover complaints

My 2016 Range Rover has been identified in a recall for knuckle which may crack without warning leading to catastrophic failure of the vehicle which could result in injury or death of passengers. I learned of the recall in December of 2024 at which time I discontinued driving the vehicle and contacted Land Rover Rocklin to request replacement of the recalled parts. In acknowledgement of the fact that this vehicle is unsafe to drive until replacement parts can be installed, Land Rover Rocklin provided an Avis rental car. On March 5 I was notified that Land Rover Corporate might not agree to reimburse the dealer for rental expenses while I wait for the defective/recalled parts to be replaced so I was asked to trade in the rental car for a loaner vehicle from the dealership. I agreed to make this exchange. While en route to complete this vehicle exchange I was told by Land Rover Rocklin that I would need to return the rental vehicle to Avis and that they would not be providing me with a dealership loaner car per our original agreement. They further instructed me to collect and drive home my unrepaired, vehicle which had been established for the last two months it sat I their shop as "unsafe to drive." I refused this arrangement and told the dealer they needed to fulfill their agreement with me by providing me with a safe vehicle to drive while I wait for the repairs to be completed according to the recall. I contacted Land Rover Corporate to complain that my vehicle had been una

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, after driving over a small bump in the roadway the contact briefly lost control of vehicle and lightly grazed the divider. The contact then became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. The contact was able to regain control of the vehicle and safely pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the front suspension upper knuckle joint. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V840000 (Steering). The VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 129,000.

While operating vehicle at 45 MPH, engine crankshaft seized and vehicle broke down in the middle of the roadway. This diesel engine was serviced routinely and oil changed with specified land rover oil per manufacturer specs. There is a class action lawsuit in UK over this motor for defective crankshaft issues.This is a 2016 RR TDV6 Gen 2 diesel motor with about 145K miles. There is a Range Rover service bulletin regarding defective crankshaft issues. The manufacturer declines to handle this as a defective manufacturer issue and will only offer a new motor at our cost.

The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact noticed a thumping sound coming from underneath the vehicle on the front driver's side. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a faulty suspension. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that parts were unavailable to repair the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was not inspected by the dealer.

My 2016 Range Rover has the symptoms (doors may appear to be closed but may be unlatched) that match NHTSA Campaign Number 20V387000. However, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC will not include my vehicle in this recall since my VIN falls outside the VIN range. As NHTSA Campaign Number 20V387000 states, "unlatched doors may open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash." Because of this, any vehicle in the make/model/year affected by NHTSA Campaign Number 20V387000 should be addressed as it is a safety issue to have closed doors possibly open while the vehicle is in motion.

Steering: linkages: knuckle: spindle: arm is cracking. Air bag has had issues and the light stays on.

Upper control Knuckle cracks despite the vehicle never being Off-road. The part number is the same 9n3 part of a selective recall but JLR refuse to include some vin numbers like mine in the recall. This could result in lost of life. How can one part be at fault and at the center of a recall and the same part being deemed perfect or acceptable on the same vehicles with same year of manufacturing or assembly plan.

Driving down the road all of a sudden, truck veers to the left. I regained control and pulled over. Found left front wheel leaning in. Upon inspection, found that spindle was broken where the ball joint meets the spindle. The metal develops a crack then separates without notice. Autoshop stated that this is Very common and has been recalled in other countries such as Canada and the UK for these vehicles. Why has this not been a forced recall in the US is beyond me. This is Very dangerous as I could have veered into incoming traffic.

The steering knuckles on our 2016 Land Rover Range Rover cracked at the upper ball joint. This issue has been discovered in Canada as well as the UK. Land Rover has recalled vehicles in both Canada and the UK, but not the USA market. The recall in the UK is recall number R/2022/341 (7303). Land Rover wants over $3,000 just for the parts. I spent a lot of money and my time replacing these so my family was safe. Here is my video on the subject: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

After checking on the OEM site based off "Safety recall N759", I was told my Vin was not affected, However the Part at the center of the global recalls (In UK, In Canada and Partially here in the US) is LR040119 which is exactly what I have installed on mine. The vehicle has never been off-roading (despite it being well capable ) and has always been maintained at the dealership or an approved shops. Mine is indeed cracked in the same spot after a random visual inspection today and that could have been the end of not just my life, but the one of my kids as well as my partner since we had a long trip scheduled in two days.

The dealership tried to sell me this 2016 red Range Rover …. I took it to a mechanic and paid to have it inspected and it has MANY SAFETY CONCERNS. I didn’t buy it, BUT it’s back on their lot for SALE Hoover Volkswagen Lithia Springs 1981 Thornton Rd Lithia Springs, GA 30122 (404) 282-3617 Please SAVE A LIFE.. the next person may not have extra money to pay for an inspection and get killed or kill somebody on the street

Vehicle indicator states no more starts in 249 miles due to Quality of Diesel exhaust fluid. Car has been to dealership 3times and continues light/indicator comes on. Only owner of car and always new highest quality blue DEF used for vehicle. Car stopped while I was on a trip and would not restart while I was in a remote area. Dangerous situation stuck in middle of nowhere as female alone. Reviewing literature/blogs related to this issue and unbelievable amount of consumers with same issue. Thousands of dollars spent by reports and no resolution. This is not an issue of a part wearing and not working. It is obviously more involved as faulty equipment. One of the mechanics even advised me to sell the car because it is not “fixable”. We paid over $120,000 for this vehicle to have an issue that locks our car down and is not fixable. We have contacted Range Rover direct more than 3 times with no success. I asked about recalls because so many people are having this issue and they told me I had to report my concern to you. Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Driver side door not latching. Unable to keep door closed

Persistent recurring “Incorrect DEF quality, no restart in 250 miles” issues, the same problem has occurred six times since October of last year. Dealer could not completely solve this issue.

There is a fleetwide problem with the DEF system in these vehicles that is well known to the manufacturer yet they have failed to address it. The system frequently produces a DEF error which causes the vehicle to go into a shutdown mode, which can leave the occupant stranded in a dangerous situation.

The contact stated that after an extended period, the gear shifter nob responded as needed; however, the failure reoccurred. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure.

At the end of May, about 10 days after getting my car serviced at the Land Rover Manhattan location middle of May, I headed to a short trip with my family. An hour into our trip, I could hear horrible noises coming from the engine, as if the gears were grinding with the engine shaking drastically. As I tried to pull to the side of the highway to safety, smoke started coming out of the front of my car. I got my family out of the car immediately and called roadside assistance. I went to inspect my car while we waited, and I noticed that there was oil all over the front (and rear) bumpers, as if all of the oil had spilt while I was driving. This was extremely strange since there was no light on my dashboard and my car had recently been serviced. It has been a month and a half since the incident and I have yet to get a clear idea of what exactly went wrong and I have yet to receive back my car.

AFTER DRIVING ALL DAY ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3 2017. IT CUT OFF WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO DROP MY FRIEND DAUGHTER AT HER HOUSE. I TURN IT OFF THE ENGINE THEN START MY TRUCK AGAIN BUT WOULDN'T COME OUT OFF PARK. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER.
