NHTSA Complaint #11202865 — 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH (INSIDE MY SUBDIVISION AS WAS ONLY LEAVING THE MY GARAGE TO COMMUTE INTO WORK) AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE LEFT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF. INITIALLY UNAWARE OF THIS (INSIDE LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON, NOR THE PASSENGER DASH HIGHLIGHTING ANY INFORMATION) I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, ONLY TO HAVE THE NOW OPEN DOOR SMASH INTO A BRICK COLUMN WHICH WAS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE RIGHT TO ASSESS WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND FOUND THAT THE DOOR WAS DENTED AND SCRATCHED BUT NOW THE DOOR LATCH WAS NOW ENGAGED AND THE DOOR NOT ABLE TO CLOSE. THANKFULLY MY 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER, WHO USUALLY SITS ON THIS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS NOT WITH ME. I AM EXTREMELY ALARMED AND CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR COULD BECOME OPENED BY ITSELF AND NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA DUE TO OTHERS HAVING HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THAT I TOO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND AM DOING MY BEST NOW TO WORK WITH LAND ROVER DIRECTLY TO ASSIST ME IN FIXING THE ISSUE, INCLUDING THE ROOT CAUSE AND BODY WORK. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE IS ALREADY SUGGESTING NO FAULT BY THE VEHICLE.
