The contact owns a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V635000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). After the recall repair, the vehicle unexpectedly ran out of fuel even though the instrument panel indicated approximately 90 miles to empty. The contact added fuel and resumed driving; however, the vehicle ran out of fuel while the display showed approximately 50 miles to empty. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer again. Upon inspection, the local dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine needed to be replaced due to a coolant line leak. The mechanic reported that there were no diagnostic trouble codes retrieved, and that the vehicle failed to remain running. The manufacturer was contacted, and informed that a specialist would inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 143,764.

The shop I took my vehicle too says the vehicle is leaking gas. They looked up the vin for recalls showed me the recall said I'd have to take it to a dealership. So I scheduled an appointment for Lakeland Jaguar and Land rover and they told me they couldn't help me and don't wanna do the work if JLR isn't gonna reimburse them for recall. I can smell gas and it definitely isn't safe to drive. The dealership has written a service sheet but never touched the vehicle. Said they cant see the recall. Systems down. Wondering what do I do?

Had a recall. I wasn't available on the date or a week or so after the appointment date. An ex of mine that had no authority to take my Range Rover into the dealership for the recall to get fixed, used my driver's license to get a rental Land Rover to use while my Range Rover was supposedly being fixed for the leaking fuel tank recall. So, Land Rover didn't care that it wasn't me getting to drive a $70,000 Land Rover while mine was getting fixed for recall. I figure out what happened & where my vehicle was & got the rental back to me in order to go get my vehicle back. I got to take it home,2 days later transmission messed up wouldn't shift out of park,started over heating,& I had to pull it with a rope from the store back home to park it. When I...

The car leaked all antifreeze. This is a 2012 Range Rover sport that has the same problem as the recall N623. “ The recall number for the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover is N623. The recall was for certain 2010–2013 Range Rover Sport and 2010–2016 LR4 vehicles with 3.0L V6 or 5.0L V8 engines”. The dealerships refused to take in consideration my vehicle or reimburse for the cost to fix.

1.) SAFETY RECELL N623: GASOLINE FUEL TANK FLANGE ASSEMBLY CRACKING- I HAVE CONTACTED THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS ARE RUDE AND VERY UNHELPFUL. 2.) MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN A CLASS LAWSUIT REGARDING THE TIMING CHAINS AND TENSIONERS- THE LAW SUIT WAS APPROVED IN JUNE AND I SUBMITTED ALL OF MY DOCUMENTATION. NO ONE FROM THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION WILL CONTACT ME BACK.

MY CAR AT APPROX 58000 MILES HAD A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. LAND ROVER CENTERVILLE DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A NEW TENSIONER, TIMING CHAIN AND SUPERCHARGER ISOLATOR. THE REPAIR WAS $6200. 2 YEARS LATER AT 84000 MILES THE VEHICLE IDLED ROUGHLY AND THREW A CODE"PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED" ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I DROVE IT SLOWLY TO THE NEAREST AUTO REPAIR SHOP (5 BLOCKS) WHERE IT DUPLICATED THE ROUGH IDLING AND CODE AND THEN THE ENGINE PROCEEDED TO BLOW UP DUE TO A FAULTY TENSIONER THAT CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO SLACKEN AND DESTROY PISTONS AND VALVES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHE HAD IT OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. I ORIGINALLY REPLACED THE FAULTY TENSIONERS UNDER THE GUISE THIS WOULD PREVENT AN OCCURRENCE SUCH AS THIS. LAND ROVER STATES THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE AND I AM...

ON 18/03/2013 5:50 PM, THE CAR LOST POWER & STOPPED SUDDENLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A SHOPPING PLAZA. THANK GOODNESS I'M STILL ALIVE! THE CAR STOPPED IN THE FRONT OF MARSHALLS (SO I HAVE LOTS OF WITNESS). PEOPLES WERE TRYING TO PUSH MY CAR TO PARKING LOT BECAUSE THE CAR BLOCKED THE TRAFFIC BUT WE COULDN'T MOVE THE GEAR TO N. I FINALLY RE-STARTED IT AFTER MORE THAN 10+ TIMES TRYING. THE CAR WAS SENT TO DEALER BY TRUCK. HOWEVER, NO FEEDBACK FROM RANGE ROVER YET (23/03/2013), NO RANGE ROVER MAN CARES THEIR CUSTOMER!!! IT'S OBVIOUSLY A POWER OR ENGINE BIG PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I COULDN'T START THE CAR WAS ON 14/03/2013, PUT RANGED ROVER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ONLY SENT A JUMP START HELP TO ME. BUT IT'S NOT CAUSED BY THE BATTERY BECAUSE I RESTARTED IT AFTER 10+ TIMES TRYING. WANT TO RETURN THE RANGE ROVER JUNK. *TR
