The steel fuel tank shield on my 2014 Range Rover Supercharged (L405) is completely rusted through. This part is not a cosmetic cover. It cradles and supports the fuel tank and protects it from road debris. The corrosion appears to be galvanic, caused by the steel shield being mounted in contact with aluminum body and chassis components, which accelerates corrosion of the steel. The rest of the underbody is in comparatively good condition, which points to a design defect rather than neglect. The vehicle and component are available for inspection upon request. Because the shield holds the tank…
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.

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…

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!
My car shifts into neutral while I’m driving. This is the same issue that I see recalls for but it’s stating that my car is not effected. Also, the rear suspension makes a loud grinding noise for no reason. It’s weird because other 2014 Land Rovers have these exact same recall warnings and my vin number comes up clear on the internet. This vehicle only has 45k miles on it.
The front door will not open on the driver's side from the outside. It will only open from the inside due to the door handle.
Our 2014 Land Rover Evoque has a gear knob (gear shifter) located on the console. The gear knob changes by itself from drive, to neutral, to park. Dangerous! We identified this as part of a safety recall and took it to the dealer for repair. They updated the software and sent us on our way. After the same issue occurring several times, we took it back to the dealer at which time the stated we need a new transmission for over $17,000!!! The vehicle last showed only 35,000 miles! We have begged and pleaded our case with the dealer and repeatedly with Land Rover USA with no satisfactory…
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.
