ODI #11337854

Incident: April 9, 2020 · Filed: July 7, 2020

4 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT BROKE DOWN DUE TO A LEAK IN THE ENGINE, THAT WAS FIXED. COST A 1000 TO REPAIR, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR JUMP AND STARTED TO SMOKE SO I PULLED OVER AND GOT IT TOWED. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, I NOTICED THAT THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON. ALL DAY (IT WAS PARKED). THE ONLY THING THAT GOT IT TO STOP WAS TAKING OUT THE FUSE, BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. I REPLACED THE FUSE WITH A NEW ONE YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF IN MY GARAGE. THIS CAR ALSO HAS BATTERY ISSUES. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR TWO DAYS AND THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THIS CAR IS CAUSING ME TO GO INTO DEBT DUE TO ALL THE THINGS THAT KEEP HAPPENING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS MODEL AND MAKE OF THIS VEHICLE HAS THESE PROBLEMS. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS, I CALLED LAND ROVER TO ASK IF THIS WAS A ISSUE THAT HAPPENS OFTEN AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO A CAR THAT CANNOT BE FIXED.

Air Bags; Seat Belts

ODI #11193074

Incident: March 9, 2019 · Filed: April 1, 2019

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 2010 LR2 FROM A USED DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE ON. THE SEAT BELT WORKS JUST FINE, BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON (EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR AND HAS THEIR SEAT BELT FASTENED). I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON LR2'S FOR MY YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND I AM WORRIED THAT THEY WON'T FUNCTION IF I GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON.

Incident: June 23, 2017 · Filed: June 23, 2017

I HAVE A 2010 LR2 HSE WITH APPROX. 59K. JUST TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR GUY WHO DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. HE REFERRED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO REPAIR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND REALIZING THAT THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY VEHICLE, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR AND IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. I CAN'T GET MY VEHICLE INTO THE LR DEALER FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS - HOWEVER I AM WONDERING WHY, AFTER REVIEWING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THIS MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON IT. I HAVE CONTACTED LR NA BUT DO NOT EXPECT REMEDIATION. I AM HOPING THE NHTSA WILL LOOK AT YET ANOTHER COMPLAINT AND PROVIDE CONSUMERS SOME ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.
