I had the check engine light come on my P550e as well after filling up at a gas station. If the light is not flashing, you are safe to drive it. On mine, the dealer had to replace the fuel fill up door mechanism. The dealer said it was the first time they had to replace one, and it took them a while to figure out the culprit. I have not had the check engine light come back on since.

 

I've yet to have to put gas in it. However, I will check it out once I get home. My wife had a MB one time that a loose fuel cap was causing issues.

 

The two times I've had CEL under 1000 miles one was a bad oxygen sensor (2016 L494) and the other was a bad engine thermometer (2022 G63). Hope yours is as benign and easy to fix despite the 2 hour drive.

 

Well it’s not the gas cap.

 

It was not the gas cap in my case either. It had something to do with the fuel filler door, that is what I was told by my dealer.

 

I call roadside assistance and they are picking it up Monday and towing to the dealer.

 

Let us know what you find out from the dealer. Please note that if the CEL is on all the time and NOT flashing, the car is safe to drive.

 

Hoping it is something very simple...keep us posted.

 

I called on Friday to arrange a pickup for today (Monday). The time I was given was a window between 7a-9a. However, this morning I received a call at 4:50 AM (you read that right!) that they still haven't secured a towing company. Then another call at 4:58 AM telling me that had found someone and they would be at my house at 5:15 AM. Towing company that picked up was a service a large auto body shop in town offers. Driver was really nice. He called me once he dropped off the vehicle 2 1/4 hrs away. Then I received a call around 8 AM from the dealer indicating they probably wouldn't have a chance to look at it until Tuesday.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get JLR to pay to have the vehicle delivered back to me. The dealer I purchased from is in another state six hours away and the servicing dealer is in a different state (I know I'm geographically challenged). Anyone have any suggestions? I'm trying to avoid a 1/2 trip for both my wife and I.

 

So the dealer it went to isn't even the servicing dealer? If so, that's going to be a bit of a big ask. I suppose you can ask JLR for assistance.

 

I would ask JLR but I would not keep my hopes high for any assistance. Looks like your closest dealer is 2 hours away and you did purchase it out of state. I would encourage you to establish a good relationship with your closest servicing dealer. I have a very good relationship with my dealer and I always get a loaner car even though I did not purchase my Land Rover from them. Worst case scenario, rent a car one way to the dealership when you go to pick up your car. Please let us know what caused your CEL and what the fix was.

 

This is often caused by bad fuel too. I have 2025 550 ATB, took a drive to Vegas from AZ and went through several storms on the way, about 50 miles after I filled up I got a check engine light. I borrowed a scanner and one of the codes I could reset the other required 15 engine restart cycles to clear.

This is usually nothing to do with Landrover per se, it’s just the very sensitive sensors in newer emission controlled engines.

 

Hey OP, what did they find?

 

Just heard back from the service advisor and he said something about the problem being "Fuel Injector" related.

 

I had the same issue with mine, and they also replaced the fuel fill up mechanism. At that time, my dealer was puzzled and said they have never seen that to cause the CEL to come on. But it is fixed now.

 

Received notification yesterday that the check engine light issue has been resolved. This was after a call last Thursday saying they "ordered the wrong part" and "it would be mid this week before they thought it would be resolved". I also asked them last week if they had looked into the charging system issue where it would only begin charging after 3-4 plug in attempts. I was told they "couldn't begin looking at that issue until the check engine light problem was resolved". As a result, they didn't touch the charging system issue until yesterday morning. However, they did find a problem with some sort of latch mechanism on the charging port and that part was ordered. Going to be another week. It would seem logical to me that multiple issue could all have been looked at together so as not to prolong the amount of time the car would be in the service department.

I took delivery on 5/17 and enjoyed six weeks of ownership and now it will be close to four weeks in the shop. This is our fourth RR and the only one that has had any issues.

 

At 4 weeks, you'll be in lemon law territory

 

The saga continues. I called today because I was told it would be fixed mid this week and today I was told the part needed to fix the charging issue was on back order until 8/7-8/8. They said I could come get the car and drive it but once battery ran out of course it would be all gas. However, it's a 4 1/2 hour round trip to the dealer. I would then have to bring it back down to them for repair once the parts came in. With mine and my wife's work schedule, it would be problematic making all these trips. The out of state dealer I purchased the vehicle from has been extremely nice and has reached out checking on the status. I inquired about whether any JLR concessions might be available and he said he was going to be reaching out to the dealership's JLR rep. I did mention lemon law and also the fact that this was my family's fourth Range Rover, etc. etc. Late last fall I experienced a similar situation with my 911. It was in the shop for over 90 days. That dealership worked directly with Porsche and got a free two year extended warranty added.

 

I hope they provided you with a loaner during that time. Sorry about your ordeal. Keep us posted.

 

Guys it's gone from back to worse. The servicing dealer said the check engine light was because of a faulty fuel injector(s). They ended up replacing all of them and that resolved the check engine light issue. I was told it would be safe to drive with the battery charging issue still outstanding and that I could bring it back to them once the parts came in to fix the charging port issue. As a result, Roadside Assistance delivered the car back to me last Tuesday evening. The current battery charge was 68% when it was delivered back to me. When I left for work Wednesday morning I chose "Save" mode in order to try and preserve some of the battery. My work commute is only 3-4 miles. I was halfway to the office when the engine RPM's started revving up and the transmission began acting like it wasn't shifting to the next gear. It got very "jerky" or almost "lunging" trying to shift. Once I got to the office I called back to the service department and was told to choose "hybrid" mode. The issue still persisted in hybrid mode. Yesterday while driving to work the check engine light came back on. I called the service department again to let them know and they said as long as it wasn't blinking it would be safe to drive. This morning the revving engine and transmission shifting issue became more pronounced and when I arrived at work I could smell a strong electrical type smell coming from the car. That's when I said no more driving. After another phone call to the dealer I was told to call Roadside Assistance to setup a towed back to them.

This is beyond frustrating. This is right on the line of Lemon Law territory.

 

Sorry about your ordeal. Must be very frustrated understandably. I would work with the dealer to start the buyback process or a brand new replacement.

 

Man, I feel your pain, this stuff is beyond frustrating. To make you feel a little better, my P550e had a similar issue. Less than two months after delivery (around 1,500 miles), I got a check engine light related to the O2 sensor. The part was backordered, but they said it was safe to drive, so I took the car back.

The same day I got it back, it would no longer charge at Level 2—only Level 1. Took it right back to the dealer. After two weeks, they told me the BCCM unit needed to be replaced… and surprise, that was backordered too. So the car sat at the dealership for 53 days and got the car back with the charging system fixed but O2 censor still back ordered.

I started the buyback process with JLR and ordered a new one at the same time. Then the Trump tariff hit, and everything changed. Since JLR only offers buybacks and not straight replacements, I was left to find a new car on my own. I ended up asking for compensation instead.

After some back and forth (no lemon lawyer, but one was nice enough to review my offer), we agreed on an amount. I should be receiving the check within two weeks. The whole thing took about 2.5 months.

Feel free to DM me if you want details on the buyback process. Just a heads up: you deal directly with JLR, not the dealership. Good luck, hope your case moves faster than mine did if you decide to go that route.

 

I was debating buying versus leasing as I've always always bought cars outright. (including the Ghost which I lost a **** ton of money on).

I think I'm going to lease the Range Rover. I mean, reliability should be 'decent', but it's threads like this that make me pause. I just 'hope' I care less about car if I don't own it. It's such a shame because I think the Range Rover is the prettiest car that I've ever seen in my entire life.

 

Since this is your first venture with Land Rover, go ahead and lease it if it makes you feel better. If the car serves you well, you can always purchase it at the end of the lease. I personally had decent luck with Land Rovers since 1982. Is there such a car nowadays that is bullet proof and 100% reliable? Sure, some are more reliable than others and have a better reputation, but all modern cars with heavy use of electronics and computers are going to have a hick up every once in a while. It's just the way it is nowadays. Also, remember that the comments you see and read on forums represent a small percentage of the buyers.

 

Agree. The issues I've had I hope are rare. This is my fourth Range Rover and the first time I've ever had any problems. My faulty charge port has now been replaced and apparently this was the cause of the newest check engine light. Kind of strange that after a couple of days it would cause the CEL. You would think it would have immediately thrown the error. Now I'm waiting to hear back on the RPM/transmission issue. Fingers crossed on this one.

 

This CEL was the "battery coupler". According to ChatGPT the “battery coupler” in your 2025 Range Rover P550e refers to a high-voltage electrical connector that links the hybrid battery pack to the vehicle’s electrical and drivetrain systems — essentially, it's a bridge between the high-voltage battery and components like the inverter, electric motor, and charging system.

For what it's worth.

 

Wanted to finance this one but ended up leasing it and I'm very happy I did instead. Yes the monthly payment is a lil more but don't have to worry about being upside down from depreciation. Plus can always buy it out at the end of the lease

 

My ‘24 LWB is in now for a CEL after being in for service last Friday. Light came on twice since last Friday and finally decided to go in while the light was still on. Frustrating to say the least after I asked to have any previous fault codes pulled when in the shop last week. Oh well… we will see what is now…
