The lock mechanism on the passenger side door stopped working, the door will not open from the inside or outside. I have searched online and this seems to be a very common occurrence with this auto maker. The car was not hit, has not been damaged. I parked and my daughter was not able to get out of the vehicle, the door will unlatch and open about half an inch but then the soft close mechanism engages and will not allow the door to be opened any further and instead automatically closes the door. This is cause for concern because if I am driving and get hit on the driver side will be trapped in the car. Since this seems to be a very common issue with Land Rover it should be a safety recall.

The gear shift button randomly stuck and was not able to pop back out. Reached out to numerous car repair shops that specialize in Range Rover sports and they informed that should be a recall issue since they do get a lot of calls regarding this issue. They said it-€™s a software issue and that the dealer should fix this issue.

Defective gear selector. Driver parked the car and switched it off. Driver exited the vehicle with the keys. The car rolled backwards without anyone in the car. The car ran over a stationary motorcycle and over and into a low wall causing about $20,000 worth of damage. According to the manual, the car is supposed to have an automatic brake when switched off and exited. From the manual: "the epb applies automatically if the ignition is switched off and the vehicle's speed is below 2 mph (3 km/H)." The accident happened on June 14, 2018. My insurance - farmer' insurance - filed a claim/complaint with range rover, but it was denied by range rover. Please help with this - it is extremely dangerous. We are lucky that the car did not drive over a person walking behind the car. I have read many other reports of this same issue with range rover.
