I was driving my 2015 Range Rover Sport, when a low battery symbol displayed on the dashboard. I drove 3 miles away to go to AutoZone to buy a new battery and as I parked the vehicle, I noticed smoke coming from the hood of the vehicle. My brother and I ran inside of AutoZone and asked them if they had a fire extinguisher because my car had a little fire on the driver-??s side of the engine. I got AAA to tow my vehicle into the Land Rover dealership/Maintenance repair shop. The repair specialist I-??m assigned to (Sam Haidary) at the Land Rover location in Freeport, Long Island NY, told me that the fire issue with the vehicle didn-??t come from the alternator or the weak battery, so I did some research online because I personally know someone that went through this same issue (i.e. Range Rover Sport catching on fire with no warning) as I just went through. I came across this article that-??s addressing the same exact issue (the engine catching fire) that happened to my 2015 Range Rover Sport. Here-??s the article: [XXX] I purchased my vehicle on February 2021 and every year I bring it to the Land Rover Range Rover for repairs and upkeep 2-3 times per year. I don-??t know why this is happening but from reading that article it-??s apparently obvious that the same issue has happened to my vehicle.

The automated parking feature on the car does not work. Our vehicle went up on a curb and almost hit a car and a tree when we tried using this feature. We were informed that the manufacturer is aware of the problem, all other 2015 models have the same issue, and the manufacturer is looking into a fix. This is a dangerous situation that should be addressed immediately.

The vehicle within the first few weeks of ownership failed to operate while driving on a freeway in stop and go traffic. After being stopped, the vehicle transmission or engine seemed to malfunction and the car was stuck on the freeway with traffic moving around the car, creating a very dangerous situation. I was informed that the vehicle VIN was part of a group of vins that received bad software that caused the problem. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle appeared to operate normally and it was ultimately taken to the dealership for repair. The vehicle has also experienced certain electrical problems starting on the first day of ownership.
