The shift gear is broken. It is stuck in drive, I cannot park, reverse, or put the vehicle in neutral. Because the gear shift is stuck in drive I had to crash the vehicle into a curb, as not to hurt myself or others. Once resting against the curb I had to quickly get out and disconnect the battery, otherwise my car would have continued driving. The gear shift remains broken and in drive. Research shows that this is a common and persistent issue with Land Rovers; one that isn-??t disclosed during purchase. This was a considerable safety hazard for me and my family.

The door will not lock while in motion or at all. The intermittent problem has occurred twice while owning this vehicle. The driver can fall out during driving. The problem was reported to the dealership on three occasions and they could not find a solution they oiled the locking system and it sat overnight and in the morning they were able to shut it. No warnings at all. Similar recall on the Range Rover: Land Rover is recalling about 65,385 of its 2013-2016 Range Rover and 2014-2016 Range Rover Sport SUVs because doors that appear to be closed may not actually be latched, raising the risk that occupants could fall out, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In February I noticed that my car was leaking oil. I took it to the mechanic and they said it has two holes in the transmission. They said it was a technical bulletin ltb00909nas1. Consumers are being put at risk with oil leaking from the transmission to all over the car. At not fault of the consumer.
