These kinds of posts scare me. Picking up our 2015 next week sometime.

 

What's actually extremely surprising abut this forum is just how few problem posts there are in the L405 section. Almost every post is people talking about getting their next one or what colors to get. Stark contrast to the Cadillac forums where it's post after post of why is my order delayed, why does my truck vibrate, why do in have paint defects, etc. any product will have problems, but JLR has hit a home run on the new gen L405.

My opinion on the 15 tranny is its the best I've ever driven, period. They killed it. I've had 6 new vehicles in past 18 months all with 8 speed. JLR is the only one I didn't have a problem with, and was actually impressed by.

 

Have had my 2015 ATB since Thanksgiving and not a single problem with it. Transmission (and everything else) works great. Noticeable quality improvement over both of my 2014 ATBs.

 

I've had my 2015 SC V8 for one month now and have put about 1200 miles on it; not a single issue so far.

 

I've had my 2015 ATB LWB since the first week in December - just over 1,000 miles. No problems.

 

2015 ATB LWB. 1500 miles since December. Not a single issue. Bette rride that the 2014 RRSC I trade in. I've had many RR's since 1996 with all the inherent issues. But I love the vehicles. This is the best of all and not a single issue.

 

Happened to me last night. Car would not get out of 1st gear, had to be towed to the dealer where it now sits. This is very worrisome.

 

I have 2015 RR Sport HSE, it keeps "poping" out of when stoped at Red light, after I press the gas (for green light), with the digital "D" on my dash flashing...

I have toput in Park, and then Drive while cars are honking behind me.

Bought t in Jan, brand new. it has 3500 Miles on it.

I took it i to Dealer today and they are saying they need to see it happen....

Can anyone shed some color on this?

 

Same is happening to my 15 FFRR. It happens with the start /stop engaged. Usually after subsequent start /stop. Bumper to bumper street traffic. The D blinks and , I have to move to Park and then D. I think it's a computer software glitch as if it doesn't know to rengage. It's only happens once in a while. First time, it happened was scary as I thought needed to be towed. Lucky it was switch to P then D then off we go.

 

I have the same issue. Took it to dealer and they told me I needed a software update. Did not work. They towed it in I would not drive it, I was almost rear ended. I called the LandRover customer service and logged a complaint.

 

My old man has/had a 2015 se, Transmission began slipping, revs didn't correspond with speed. Took it to the dealer, checked transmission. Completely black inside. Offered to replace transmission, he said give me a new one. No arguments from dealer, switching to an HSE w HD pack.

 

I purchase my new RR sport last month. Couple of times it won't go into gear after I am stopped at red light. D is flashing on the digital panel. I had to shut off the engine and restart the vehicle to get it going. I think the new automatic start stop function is causing the problem. At one incident vehicle would move very slowly at high revs after being stopped at the red light. My vehicle has only 2000 miles and already has this problem happened to me three times.

 

I have a 2015 Range Rover HSE and am experiencing similar transmission issues. Went to accelerate at traffic light and car seemed like it was in neutral. I shifted into "S" and the car did then move but when I switched into "D" it was again like in Neutral. Finally after a minute or two the transmission engaged and I made it home. Yesterday the car began "jolting" when going from 1st into 2nd gear. Happened repeatedly. When I went to park and had to back up, the car would not get into reverse. The "R" flashed but no movement. Had to turn car off and back on and then it worked???? Car is at dealer now.

 

Just another data point. I now have 7500 miles on new 2015.5 Supercharged LWB which arrived 01Apr15. Absolutely no problems with the transmission but, whether relevant or not, I had disabled the automatic start/stop within 5 miles of picking up the vehicle.

 

I had 1100 miles on one an 1700 miles on my even newer one and same. Had mine shut off early on.

 

Go to the dealer and get updated. There is a latest software update for start/stop that also fixes the sluggishness, no locking and getting stuck in first gear issues some of us with 2015.5 rigs were expiriencing. I posted my expirience with the update on the L494. So far everything works perfect.

Why not pull the fuse on the stop start technology? That would eliminate the problem.

 

There is no fuse for stop/start in any year of L494.

 

It just happened to me for 2nd time (in 3 months) with my 2014 SC. They never "fixed" it the first time, just rebooted system and cleared faults. I get almost every fault popping up and the gear shift recedes, as if the car is off. It's so dangerous. Did they fix your car?

 

Several folks have had the software update resolve this issue. If your rig went to the dealer prior to the software update being available then they had no choice but to clear the faults. Have you disabled the start/stop?

 

I have a new 2015 that I just bought with 250 miles on it, and this has happened to me twice in the past 3 weeks. Really scared me. Did you ever get your issue resolved and does it have to do with being in the gas saving mode?

I have a 2016 RRS Diesel with 1600 miles (Delivered 11/18) and recently found oil on my garage floor. Brought it in and they change the oil pan stating that it was warped. A week later I see oil still dripping onto my floor and dropped it off again. They initially diagnosed it as transfer case gasket leak. They replaced that and thought they had solved the problem but on a test drive they received a transmission fault error. After a week of not being able to clear the error, my service department is now telling me that the oil is leaking "through the metal of the transmission" and that the whole transmission needs to be replaced. Since they don't have a new one in the USA they need to order the part from the UK and that they need another 2-3 weeks to complete the repair. So far I have owned the rig for 6 weeks and they will have it for 4-5 weeks. At least they gave me a jag as a loaner. Prior to all this the rig has been perfect. No signs of transmission failure or any other problems. Talking with service to see how they want to proceed with my situation since the car will have been in service for over 30 days in a row.

 

2016 TD and got the "Gearbox Fault" displayed.. could not put in Drive after sitting over night ..I played with the car ... the stop start and lowering raising and finally the car was able to go in Drive.. it happened once in past week.. have 7000 miles on it..

hopefully is a sftwe patch.. and no more.. other then no remote start option.. in iconnect.. Im loving the car..hopefully this a once occurance..

 

Has anyone had any problems like this?

2015 Range Rover SC V8 has been towed to the dealer twice. The RR will not shift out of park, and it reads "gearbox fault"

This weekend, I drove my car for about 30mins, from home to work, car drove perfectly fine until I got to my destination. The car will not move from Drive to Reverse. So I parked the car in Drive. When I turned on the car, it was still in Drive mode. The D kept blinking and the car won’t start because it is in the Drive gear. I called Range Rover dealer and got the car towed. Very disappointing and dissatisfied. Hence been driving range rovers for 18 years now. Any advise?

 

Sorry, I don’t have advice but maybe 10 more guys will post how great theirs are running to make you feel worse. Very helpful replies.
Not sure if it’s similar but there are YouTube videos on repairing the selector.
