What 82 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Phev

THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. A PRIVATE MECHANIC SAID THE 2011 MODELS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANKS.

NHTSA ODI 11255901

THE CAR WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. LIKE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS ON THE INTERNET, A PLASTIC FLANGE ON THE FUEL PUMP CRACKS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA OF THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE LEAKING FUEL IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FIRE, EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE.

WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN TO 100MPH+ THEN IT CUTS OFF.

NHTSA ODI 11217439

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR ROOF SPOILER FLEW OFF AND HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE COMMON. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NO RECAL FOR IT AS IT IS A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD TO ALL DRIVERS NEAR WHEN IT HAPPENS. IF THE WEATHER WAS BAD IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE USING THE FACTORY SUPPLIED VEHICLE JACK, THE JACK FELL OVER AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FALL, PINNING MY HAND IN BETWEEN THE SPARE TIRE AND THE REAR LEFT FENDER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. MY HAND WAS PINNED FOR ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE MY SON AND A GOOD SAMARITAN WERE ABLE TO LIFT THE VEHICLE OFF OF MY HAND. I LATER HAD X-RAYS DONE, WHICH WERE NEGATIVE. MY HAND WAS CUT AND BRUISED, SO I DID HAVE TO GET A TETANUS SHOT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN WENT OFF IN MY CAR AND SCARED ME SO BAD I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I LITERALLY THOUGHT I WAS BEING SHOT AT. IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I LOOKED AROUND AND THERE WAS GLASS ALL OVER MYSELF (DRIVER), AND THE FRONT SEATS. MOST OF THE GLASS LANDED IN MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE. THANKFULLY HE WASN'T IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS A ROCK THAT BOUNCED OFF THE GLASS ON THE SUNROOF, BUT THERE WAS NOT A MARK ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND THEY ARE REPAIRING IT THIS COMING SATURDAY. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE SHUT THE SUNROOF COVER TO MAKE SURE GLASS ISN'T COMING THROUGH THE CAR.

AT 55 MPH TRAVELING ON GA HIGHWAY 17, THE REAR SPOILER SPONTANEOUSLY DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. A PIECE OF THE SPOILER SURROUNDING THE REAR CAMERA SHEARED FROM THE BULK OF THE SPOILER AND WAS LEFT DANGLING FROM THE AUTOMOBILE. I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE SPOILER IN A DITCH FORTUNATELY NOT BEING HIT BY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I CALLED LAND ROVER OF HILTON HEAD, SPOKE WITH, AND DROVE THE AUTO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, THOMAS. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS AND IT MUST HAVE BEEN MY FAULT FOR BUMPING THE REAR WINDOW ON A GARAGE DOOR ( NOTE NO MARKS NOTED AS REFLECTED IN LATER NOTE FROM SAME DEALERSHIP). (ALSO NOTE THE SPOILER AND REAR CAMERA ARE MOUNTED MUCH LOWER THAN THE REAR WINDOW WHEN OPEN AND THUS NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO ALLEGED CAUSE. MULTIPLE CALLS TO DAYNA, CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT LAND ROVER N.A. NO RESOLUTION. RETURN TRIP TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH ANOTHER SERVICE PERSON REVEALED HIS FINDINGS, INCLUDED AND ATTACHED. HE STATED THIS WAS NOT UNCOMMON AND SHOWED ME A REPORT FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE 3-4 MONTHS PREVIOUS AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP. PLEASE NOTE THAT ON OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDING MERCEDES 2016 E SERIES RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS FOR INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS NEGLECTED THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS ISSUE. HAD ANYONE BEEN FOLLOWING ME, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED, ESPECIALLY WITH A MOTORCYCLE. RESULTING DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE DEATHS WOULD THEN HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TOWARD ME PERSONALLY AND LAND ROVER OF N.A. I HAVE INCLUDE MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS, NAMES, PICTURES, ETC TO SHOW THE INHERENT DANGER IN THE ADMITTED FAILED ADHESIVE PROBLEM. SIMPLY READING THE SECOND SERVICE PERSONS EVALUATION SHOWS THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DANGER. I HAVE MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS AND THREE EMAILS TO FURTHER DOCUMENT.
