So, after my Sport spent 40 days in the shop and was returned to us twice without the problem being fixed, Land Rover North America has officially decided to replace it. The second time they returned it to us Land Rover North America mentioned that they would send us some money back for our troubles, but when it wouldn't start again and they officially decided to replace it, they refused to upgrade the car any or give us any money back. Meanwhile, I paid for a 2010 Range Rover Sport and have been driving their LR3 loaner car around since about a week after I bought my car, and will be until they can find a replacement. I know that the Lemon Law in my state only requires them to replace or refund the car, but from a customer service standpoint it seems like they should be doing a little more, especially since they were originally willing to give us some money back when they thought they had fixed the car. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you had had experiences with cars having to be replaced and if Land Rover did anything to compensate you.

What happened to the thing? When did you buy it?

Lemon Law varies W I D E L Y by state. Where are you located? California is the most pro-consumer from what I've heard.

Wow, there really seems to be a lot of problems with 2010s granted I'm new to the brand and forum.

I bought it the first week of November. Didn't have any problems for about the first week, but after that it started going through periods where it just wouldn't start. It would be fine one day and then the next I would try 20 times in a row to start it and it just wouldn't. They tried resetting it and getting new key fobs, etc. but nothing worked and they have no idea what's going on.

I am having a few troubles my self but dont think this would be a lemon because I am still taking it to dealer on Thursday to get this fixed.

1. Issue with my rear passenger window goes up and down without staying put.

2. Wind noise in my front driver side at 50 + speed. This drives me nuts!

3. One of my exhaust is lower than the other by 2 inches or so.

4. Wierd Noise coming from the front side wheel when rolling in low speed with windows down. Sounds like breaks but not sure.

5. Low coolant level turns on. Looks like a recall.

Agreed, but they appear to be mostly software-related which isn't AS bad. However, when I am done with my '07, I'll probably be looking at the 11's. Then again, service records and history will dictate reliability more than anything cause there's people out there with completely unreliable 07's.

I took delivery of a 1996 Range Rover HSE when the new model came out. I'm in NY, and the truck's gearbox failed all the time. I would have to pull over, shut the car off, and try 100 times to get it into gear. I sued Land Rover, they ended up giving me all the lease payments back, plus legal fees, and took me out of the lease. What a pain in the neck, but the lemon law prevailed.

So, I did it again....now I have a 2010 Range Rover Sport HSE. I just returned a 2 year lease on the LR2 (loved it) and this RRS drives WORSE than the LR2. When I hit the gas, it's "rough', and I can feel the grind in the gas pedal and wheel. I hate it...

I noticed alot of people complaining about this - just be thankful you aren't in a Jeep. My SRT8 would howl on any windy day or over 60 mph. I do have some wind noise in my RRS, but only when its real windy but there's no whistling going on, so I'm really happy having come from that Chrylsler. I know these are RR's, but it could be ALOT worse.

I had the coolant issue....at 2000 miles...look under the vehicle for a orange leak as there was no gasket installed on the heating manifold....My dealership did try and help me with an Avis rental car etc... during the repair.

Looks to me that someone has some shares in Land Rover! :lol:

How would you like to be driving a 75k car around with 1500 miles on it on the highway at 70mph and BOOM! your car shuts off and you almost swerve off the road for dear life..FORGET THE CAR I didnt want to die!

 

[PJPR01]

Wow...I recall this happening on a rare occasion with the S/C 2006 version, I think the cause was fuel pump failure. Have they looked at that issue?

 

[yoni26]

They claim to have looked at everything..and say nothing is wrong and can find the problem. The issue is that I dont want to take the risk again. I asked the service technician what if this was a plane and it just shut off in the air what would happen..He said to me well they can still land it in the river.

Time to raise bloody hell then with LRNA...that's a completely crappy response.

 

[yoni26]

that is what I am trying to do. Honestly The car is a lease and I am scared shitless to drive it again. I just want them to take the car back and leave me alone...
:shock:
