2013 Land Rover Range Rover Problems & Complaints

Fuel tanks shields have rotted. I have researched this and it appears that the reason this problem occurs is because of a process called galvanic corrosion. The fuel tank shield is bolted onto an aluminum heat shield, and the pairing of these two different metals accelerates the corrosion. Land Rover has acknowledged this problem and it’s given priority due to the fact that this is a safety issue being that these shields are also responsible for holding the tanks in place.

The metal gas tank shroud (cover) on the bottom of the car is completed rotted away and there is no longer anything protecting the gas tank from rupture. This was brought to my attention by an automotive service center as well as my own visual inspection. My understanding this shroud not only protects the tank but also helps support it to the car.

My truck has antifreeze leaking into engine causing it to overheat caused damage to my engine and now it’s not drivable. I took my truck to dealership which video dealership sent me states this issue but they were charging me an outrageous amount for repairs at Land Rover in Parsippany

My mechanic observed the fuel tank shield (WFN500021) in the undercarriage was totally rusted-out. This fuel tank shield holds the fuel tank. The part was completely rusted and the concern is that the fuel tank will fall out while driving - and igniting. I have shopped around for parts - every dealer has the part on back order. I purchased an after market fuel tank shield on ebay - it does not fit properly. I also tried finding the same part at junk-yards but those are completely rusted out as well.

Our vehicle allows for the rear lift gate to be opened while the vehicle is in motion. Any person in the vehicle can press the rear lift gate button and it will open, even if driving down the road. Our loaner vehicles from Land rover also allow this to occur. This is a major safety issue as cargo or pets could be ejected or jump from a moving vehicle if the driver or a passenger inadvertently press the rear lift gate button. There should be a modification that would prevent the rear lift gate from being able to be activated via this button while the vehicle is not in the park mode.

DRIVING ON PHOENIX CITY STREET 51ST AVENUE GOING SOUTH AT 5:00 PM IN AFTERNOON. FAILURE OF A ENGINE/COOLING SYSTEM OUTLET PIPE LED TO EXPULSION OF ALL COOLANT, OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE TO ITS SHUTDOWN WITHIN THREE MINUTES, THE ENGINE GOT SO HOT IT RUPTURED A FUEL LINE OVER THE ENGINE SPRAYING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH GASOLINE. UNAWARE OF THE FUEL LEAK I ATTEMPTED TO RE START THE VEHICLE TO MOVE IT INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I EVENTUALLY RESTARTED IT AND I LIMPED IT INTO THE PARKING LOT WHERE IT CONTINUED TO LEAK FUEL. THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN FROM THE OVERHEATING AND REQUIRES A COMPLETE REBUILD OR REPLACEMENT AT $15K TO $35K IN COST. THE LANDROVER SERVICE DIRECTOR ROBERT LYLER, CONFIRMED THAT FAILURE OF THE OUTLET PIPE IS COMMON. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR ANY SIGNS OF FATIGUE OR WEAR. IT'S FAILURE IS ALWAYS A MASSIVE RUPTURE, NEVER JUST A LEAK OR SMALL SPRAY. I RECEIVED ONLY A 5 SECOND WARNING THAT THE COOLANT WAS LOW. NO OTHER WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND THE TEMPERATURE GUAGE NEVER SHOWED THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OR OVERHEATING. MY FAMILY AND I ARE LUCKY THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT CATCH FIRE AND THE FIRE FOLLOW THE FUEL LINE TO THE GAS TANK ENDING IN AN EXPLOSION. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE LANDROVER NORTH SCOTTSDALE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSED TO PAY SAYING THAT THE PART WAS A WEAR AND TEAR/MAINTENANCE ITEM AND I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH LAND ROVER CORPORATE BUT HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE AS OF THIS CLAIM. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENT.

EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY SYMPTOM PRESENT. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT RESULTED. REASON WAS BECAUSE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS LOCKED ON THE ENTIRE TIME WITHOUT KNOWING AND BECAME NON-FUNCTIONAL. DAMAGED MOST WHEEL COMPONENTS ON REAR DRIVER SIDE. DIAGNOSIS: MALFUNCTIONED EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTUATOR. VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

MY CAR HAS HAD FOUR CLAIMS WITH RANGE ROVER WHERE THE CAR SUDDENLY STOP WHILE DRIVING . AGAIN MY CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR WHEN I USED THE KEYLESS REMOTE THE CAR BEGIN TO SUDDENLY ROLLLED. UPON ME TRYING TO STOP THE CAR FOR HARMING OTHERS I WAS INJURED. I HAVE MADE RANGE ROVER AWARE OF THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS OF THE CAR BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWKEGE IT. I HAVE POLICE RECORDS AND DOCUMENTATION . I JUST WANT THE CAR REPAIRED SO THAT IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN.

AS ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE RANGEROVER, DURING MY SECOND YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THE FUEL INJECTORS GAVE WAY WHERE THE GAS WOULD NOT FLOW TO THE TANK. THE GAS PUMP WOULD CONSISTENTLY SHUTOFF THE GAS TO THE POINT YOU COULD NOT FILL O YOUR TANK. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS POINT AND IT WAS FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP. ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER , APPX 1.75 YEARS LATER, THE FUEL INJECTOR IS CAUSING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN TRYING TO GAS UP, THE INJECTOR OR THE SYSTEM ITSELF DOESN'T ALLOW THE GAS TO AUTO FILL UP. ALSO WHEN MANUALLY PUMPING FOR GAS THE INJECTOR KEEPS SHUTTING THE GAS FLOW OFF. THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD INSTALLATION OF THE INJECTOR AND OR ITS RELATED COMPONENTS. FIRST WAS OEM , THEN MY FIRST REPLACEMENT, NOW THIS THIRD REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED. RANGEROVER AND ITS AFFILIATES ARE NOT TAKING THE STEPS TO REPALCE MY EXPENSIVE REPAIR NOT WILL THEY BACKUP THERE WORK.

DASHBOARD IS HEAVING, SEPARATING AND EXPOSING THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. DEALER CANNOT REPAIR BUT SAID THAT IF THE SEPARATION BECOMES LARGER THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE PROPER DIRECTION OR MAY DEPLOY UNNECESSARILY.

THE ATTACHED PICTURE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND THE SEPARATION IS NOW MUCH LARGER.

THIS MATTER IS BEING REPORTED AS A POTENTIAL HIGHWAY HAZARD REGARDING A "TOW HITCH" PART # KNB 500023,PART # WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES BY LAND ROVER.

LR SELL THE 4 PARTS (2005-2013) UP TO 2013, SINCE THEY COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE RECEIVER TO A MORE CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM IN 2014 ON THE RANGE ROVER SPORT, NOT THE TWO PIECE OLDER SYSTEM USED FROM 2005-2013 ON RANGE ROVER SPORTS, LR 3 AND LR4.

LAND ROVER PART # KNB 500023, LISTED AS KNB 500080 IN THE RANGE ROVER KIT ACCESSORY BOOKLET IS FOR A TOW HITCH, THAT HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE. FILED CASE WITH LAND ROVER AND THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT PART UNDER THEIR LAND ROVER PROTECTION PLAN IN FORCE.

VEHICLE BATTERY WAS BEING DRAWN DEAD INEXPLICABLY. FOUR SERVICE VISITS TO DEALER REVEALED NOTHING OTHER THAN A SILLY STORY FROM IT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN LONG ENOUGH FOR THE BATTERY TO RECHARGE. A DIAGNOSTIC I OBTAINED FOUND A CONSTANT 12 VOLT DRAW ON THE BATTERY MORE REASONABLY EXPLAINING WHY THE 3 BATTERIES WERE DRAINED DEAD... DEALER HAD ME USING A "TRICKLE CHARGE" PLUGGING INTO AN OUTDOOR ELECTRIC OUTLET EACH NIGHT WHICH ONLY DELAYED THE INEVITABLE DEAD BATTERY. I ATTEMPTED TO LEMON LAW UNSUCCESSFULLY UNDER NYS LAW... READ ONLINE ABOUT THE "DEAD BATTERY CLUB" AMONG OWNER AND THUS CAME HERE...

TL* THE CONTACT WAS A BODY SHOP OWNER AND WAS DOING FRONT END REPAIRS ON A 2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH IN A DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERE DAMAGE FOR A VERY MINOR ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT HAVE THE PART FOR THE CONTACT TO ORDER. THE MINOR INCIDENT CAUSED THE FRONT END DRIVER SIDE SHOCK TOWER TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WAY THE FRONT END WAS MADE, THE DAMAGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MINIMUM OF $2,500 INSTEAD OF $50,000. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A REPAIR FOR MOST OF THE DAMAGE THE VEHICLE SUFFERED FROM THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I GOT OUT OF THE EVOQUE WITH IT RUNNING AND THE DOOR OPEN. WHEN I CAME WALKING BACK THE CAR WAS GOING UP THE ROAD BY ITSELF IN REVERSE. IT HIT A MAILBOX THAT STOPPED IT. IT COULD HAVE HIT KIDS THAT ARE USUALLY IN THE AREA. LR/RR LOOKED AT IT FOR TWO WEEKS THEN TOLD ME I MUST HAVE LEFT IT IN REVERSE AND GOT OUT OF THE SUV SOMEHOW BEFORE IT MOVED. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT IN THE SUV AFTER IT HIT THE MAILBOX IT WAS STILL IN PARK. LONG STORY SHORT IS LR/RR IS DOING NOTHING FOR US. NOW THE BODY SHOP IS TELLING US THE REPAIR PARTS THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR WILL TAKE UP TO ONE YEAR TO GET IN. WE HAVE BEEN OVER 60 DAYS AND STILL THEY HAVE NO ETA FOR THE PARTS. WHAT A JOKE FOR A COMPANY OF THIS SIZE. MY WIFE WILL NEVER AGREE TO DRIVE THIS SUV AGAIN WITH THIS ISSUE. NEVER BUY A RR/LR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED, IT ACCELERATED BACKWARDS INTO A MAILBOX. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

I PURCHASED A 2013 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE IN MARCH 2013. WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASING THE NEW VEHICLE I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO TWO (2) DIFFERENT LAND ROVER DEALERSHIPS. AS IT TURNS OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED THE STEERING COLUMN WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL. AN EFFORT WAS MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE FRONT AXLE REPLACED WITHIN 5 MOTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. I'VE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

THE NEW GENERATION 2013 RANGE ROVER, RELEASED IN DECEMBER 2012, DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAY NOZZLES. THEY ARE UNABLE TO APPLY WASHER FLUID TO CLEAR AN OBSTRUCTED WINDSHIELD AT ANY TRAVELING SPEED. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION DURING ANY WINTER DRIVING WHICH WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. LAND ROVER CORPORATE OFFICES ARE UNWILLING / UNABLE TO ADDRESS THIS DESIGN FLAW IN ANY MANNER. THEY WOULD ONLY "REFER THIS DESIGN COMPLAINT" TO THEIR CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING IN SOLIHULL, ENGLAND.

THE WASHER FLUID SPRAY NOZZLES DOES NOT PROVIDE SUITABLE SPRAY ONTO THE WINDSHIELD OTHER THAN IN PARK. INADEQUATE DESIGN, FLOW, SPRAY PATTERN IS CAUSING A SAFETY VISIBILITY ISSUE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH LANDROVER USA CUSTOMER SERVICE HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT FIX THE CONCERN. THEY HAVE LABELED THE ISSUE AS A "DESIGN CONCERN" NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND "NOTIFIED" ENGINEERING IN ENGLAND FOR THEIR "POSSIBLE" REVIEW. TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN WINTER DRIVING, I MUST PULL OVER EVERY 10 - 15 MILES TO SPRAY WINDOW. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE DESIGN FOR LAND ROVER AND AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I CAN FORWARD VIDEO AND PICTURES OF THE ISSUE IF DESIRED.
