06/21/2024 · Wheels / tires
I purchased four Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires (255 / 50R 19 107 W XL front and back) from Costco at 2700 Potomac Mill Circle, Woodbridge, VA on [XXX]. These tires were specifically for a 2009 Range Rover Sport HSE. The odometer reading was 105632 at the time of purchase, and the tires were installed on [XXX]. The present mileage as of today is 118233.…

01/29/2024 · Electrical system
There are KNOWN areas around the A pillar, windshield, and sunroof that leak and allow water to enter the vehicle and pool up in the wiring channels next to the doors, the water causes shorts and corrosion in the wiring which causes faults (Check engine, etc) that the owner is forced to attempt to correct on their own. There are numerous videos made by Land…

05/15/2022 · Wheels / tires
Spare tire wheel - no longer holds air. The section of the wheel that holds the "bead" has corroded. I checked another owner's wheel and it had similar corrosion. I believe it is systemic. I tried to buy another spare tire wheel from Land Rover and it was backordered.

03/21/2018 · Steering
THE AUTOMATIC STEERING WHEEL TILT SOMETIMES GETS LOCKED IN THE LOWEST DOWN POSITION. AT THAT POINT THE STEERING WHEEL CAN ONLY BE ADJUSTED FRONT TO BACK AND NOT UP AND DOWN.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO OUT, AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG, HOWEVER IT FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO THE AIR BAG ISDUE.

03/09/2018 · Transmission / drivetrain
THE TRUCK HAS BEEN JUMPING INTO 3 GEAR AT HIGH SPEEDS AND GETTING STUCK THERE.

THE TRUCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY DROP INTO 3RD GEAR FROM HIGH SPEEDS, DRASTICALLY REDUCING THE SPEED, AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR, AND SEEMS TO RESET WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, WITH THE PROBLEM REOCCURRING WITH GREATER FREQUENCY THE WARMER THE CAR GETS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION ABOVE 30 MPH
