I have the 2014 Range rover with the V6 supercharged gas engine. During a rolling start, such as rolling start to perform a U-turn or merging into a highway, the acceleration is delayed by at least 2 seconds, which is very dangerous. Especially during merging on to the freeway the 2 seconds acceleration lag could send false information to the other cars and made me almost crash for a few times. It should be a transmission or engine management software update to address this issue.

My vehicle was traveling at 40mph at a straight path on city roads with no obstacles or detour when at an instant the vehicle's drive mode logo on the shift knob began to blink continuously followed by system error code warnings flashing on the entertainment screen and driver screen and full loss of vehicle control. With complete shut down including loss of all electronics electrical power and engine failure thereafter causing the electronic emergency brakes to activate and locking the wheels. At which time the vehicle came to a violent and sudden stop resulting in a load grinding noise coming off the engine bay. The vehicle was unable to start due to no return of any electrical power to the systems electronics including exterior and interior lights. I waited for about 15 minutes before trying to start the vehicle, which took a few tries before power and vehicle engine engaged only to have the same complete vehicle failure and shut down repeated only after 200 yards from the initial failure resulting in tow service having to be called out. Keep in mind this is not the first nor the second recurrence, it has been an ongoing issue for the past few months only to be told that the problem was diagnose and corrected by an authorized Land Rover dealer. Which is far from the truth in regards to the health and safety of this vehicle. To date the cause of continued failure is unknown.

I was turning into a parking space going approx. 2 mph when suddenly the car accelerated so fast that it jump onto the curb and hit a tree. Luckily, I did not hit a person or another car. However, my brand new car is now in the body show and is estimated to cost at least $40K. It completely damaged the inside of my car. Its mind boggling to me how the speed all of a sudden went so fast. Note that I do not have the VIN because it is in the body shop. Also, it is the Range rover sport 2014 (that option was not available in the selection so I just chose Range rover 2014).

I have an unresolved issue with Land Rover relating to the engine / transmission warning light and the need for an O2 sensor to be fitted to the vehicle. Land Rover (South West freeway, houston) have been unable to a) source the O2 sensor B) ensure that the vehicle is running correctly C) give me a date when the part will be available. Feel like I am being ignored by the garage having had the vehicle in 3 times for diagnostics and twice told that the part would be fitted when they had none in stock.

I wanted to inform you of a very serious issue with 2014 Range rovers that may either cause an accident or strand someone many miles from civilization! I stopped the vehicle and the rotary shifter would not pop up as it was stuck down and the car was stuck in drive! I had to shut the vehicle off and then it would not shift out of drive so it would not start when the start/stop button was pushed! this is a major safety issue and needs to be addressed asap. My car is now at the dealer and they are saying it will be at least 2 weeks to repair.
