What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Description of Defect I am formally reporting a critical, life-threatening safety defect involving the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) in Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) vehicles. These modules suffer from spontaneous software "resets" or "reboot" loops during operation.
Subject: URGENT: Global Safety Defect Report – Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) Failure. Description of Defect: I am writing to formally report a critical safety defect affecting Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) vehicles involving the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and…
This four month old 2024 Range Rover LWB with Bosch brakes experienced a sudden and complete loss of braking capabilities. When the driver went to brake and while turning into a parking stall, the brake pedal was not in its usual position and did not work.
A warning message "Electrical Fault detected" and another unknown were displayed. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a catastrophic converter failure. The vehicle was repaired out of pocket. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
The moon roof on the roof of the vehicle shattered. However, it was not a typical "starburst" pattern from an impact. We did not have any impacts. Instead, the shatter pattern was a series of sinusoidal waves.
I have had a crack and runs in my vision on the window more than a clear vision through the windshield. The Land Rover Company/manufacturer/dealerships know if the defect design of windshields.
rear brakes were worn only after 13 mths of driving a brand new range rover and that was driving slow and never pushing the car. Out of the 20+ vehicles i've owned in my lifetime i've never seen a vehicle requiring new brake pads at 10-15k miles.
On my 7 passenger RR when the button is pushed for the second row seat to move up to allow a passenger in the third row access, if the button is accidentally pressed to move the seat back into place, it will not automatically disengage if someone is stuck between the seat and vehicle frame. This happened to me.
