My car has manufacturer defect / crack on steering knuckle. There has been recall in UK and Canada. Why not in states? Driving with crack / defect in steering knuckle is extremely dangerous. It has been proven that this has caused by over tightening the nut bolt. There are so many land rovers have this reported issues. Here is link: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Rear driver side door opened while the vehicle was in motion. The original recall of this issue was reportedly completed in 2016 (this was prior to me owning the vehicle). The same door now has issues unlocking. The safety concern is the potential of my child in the backseat having an open door while the car is driving or being unable to open the door to get my child out of the car in an emergency. The problem of unlatching while in motion was part of previous recall and my local dealership confirmed the vehicle underwent the recall and correction on 02/25/2016. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms were identified prior to the issue. The door unlatching while in motion occurred one time in the summer of 2022. The inability to unlock and open the same door occurs several times per week without a known consistent pattern of when it may occur. This began in approximately November of 2022 and continues to occur.

DOOR LATCH FAILURE. DRIVER DOOR LATCH FAILED AND WAS REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2018. WE REQUESTED CHANGE OF ALL LATCHES AS THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED ON DOOR LATCH FAILURE. RANGE ROVER DENIED AND SAID THE OTHER LATCHES WILL NOT FAIL. OUR PASSENGER FRONT LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR HAD TO BE HELD CLOSED BY HAND TO DRIVE IN JAN 2019. REQUESTED RANGE ROVER TO REPLACE ALL DOOR LATCHES AGAIN AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE REAR LATCHES AS THEY HAVE NOT YET FAILED. TO AVOID COMPROMISING SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN, WE ARE PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THOSE LATCHES. LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA REPEATEDLY REFUSED OUR REQUEST DESPITE TALKING TO MULTIPLE CASE MANAGERS AND A SUPERVISOR.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (5 Seat) verdict →
