My door locks are failing and Land Rover / Range rover is telling me it has nothing to do with your prior investigation, recall or other. First, I couldn't get my passenger door to lock, then it suddenly started working again. Now, I can't get my driver side to lock, and my passenger is fine. Land Rover claims they already updated my "software" but I think it's something much more detailed than that, as there are literally 1000's of people asking on the internet about the exact same problem. Not sure if this will result in my doors flying open suddenly, as has been documented in prior cases with NHTSA for my year Range rover - but I truly feel as if they know about a problem with their door actuators, software and locks but are unwilling to fix them in their dealership under recall or warranty. Several dealers have noted for my VIN, they've developed new actuators because of flaws in previous versions and want me to spend upwards of $2K to have replacements.

While traveling approximately 15 mph (inside my subdivision as was only leaving the my garage to commute into work) and making a right hand turn, the left side passenger door opened by itself. Initially unaware of this (inside lights did not turn on, nor the passenger dash highlighting any information) I continued to drive, only to have the now open door smash into a brick column which was to the left side of me. I immediately pulled to the right to assess what was happening and found that the door was dented and scratched but now the door latch was now engaged and the door not able to close. Thankfully my 8 month old daughter, who usually sits on this side of the car was not with me. I am extremely alarmed and concerned that the door could become opened by itself and now understand that this matter is being investigated by NHTSA due to others having had similar issues. I want to document that I too have had this happen to me and am doing my best now to work with Land Rover directly to assist me in fixing the issue, including the root cause and body work. However, the dealer representative is already suggesting no fault by the vehicle.

While driving home yesterday my driver door flew open while going down hwy 167 South. ( I know the door was shut! it was locked when I got in the car) while driving the rest of the way home holding the driver door shut ! because it wouldn't close!( not even the soft shut door close) I got home and research for recalls or safety issues... there is a recall but, says it was done a year ago! but, apparently the recall part or software didn't work! I almost fell out of the SUV yesterday while driving!

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.
