I can be driving and the car will just cut off. The real danger was when I was on the freeway and I almost couldn't pull over to the side and a semi truck was behind me. That happened about 3 years ago. Also when I start the car and put it in reverse the parking brake warning light come on, that also started happening a couple years ago. The above happened again yesterday and the day before, October 9, 2021.

Range Rover Sport 8-cyl

  • 52,000 miles
Air suspension system is malfunctioning. Vehicle bounces erratically at all road surfaces. Erratic bouncing at highway speeds may cause driver to overseer and leading to a catastrophic (accident) event. The front end of the vehicle collapses while parked causing excessive strain on ball joints and front control arms (to date..nearly $2000 in repairs). Dealership has done all it can to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer is Land Rover. Land Rover corporate has refused to assist owner or dealership in providing a technical solution to the problem. Only advice is of us to wait for a computer error code to display on the dash so the dealer can determine which part to replace. Safety issue.. this is unacceptable. (air shock, sensor, air shocks compressor, values). This problem has persisted for over a year and we have not gotten an error message. We request Land Rover replace computer module and sensors to air shocks, or replace air shocks.

The contact owns a 2006 Land Rover Range rover sport. Whenever the contact turns the vehicle, he feels and hears a grinding noise coming from the steering column. The grinding worsens in hot weather or after driving for a long period of time. The dealer advised him to bring in the vehicle and they changed the steering shaft. The vehicle has been to the dealer approximately 7 times for the same failure, but there has been no successful remedy. The vehicle is currently at the dealer having the rack and pinion changed. The technician stated that the repair to the rack and pinion would only be a temporary repair until the manufacturer could provide a better remedy. The speed was unknown. The failure mileage was 5,635. Updated 05/21/08 the drivers door handle was stuck, the navigation system would go dim, the cruise control activated while driving, the passenger seat latch was not latch properly, the vehicle pulled to the left. Updated 05/20/08.
