Side curtain airbags deployed spontaneously sending fragments of metal and pieces of plastic into the interior of the car.the car was driving at 16 mph on a neighborhood street.
While driving on highway at speed, the vehicle suffered a complete power failure. The headlights turned off, the engine shut down, the dashboard went dark, and the power steering failed causing me to swerve partially out of my lane (i was on a curve). The power then came back on and the vehicle resumed functioning normally.
Known problem , however land rover na has not addressed . Timing chain guides wear pre maturely causing knock in motor which could lead to catastrophic failure . As a mechanic this is a safety concernthis is a very popular issue with the 2010-2012 5.0l motors . There is an updated timing chain quide , however this job is 2-4k dollars to complete .
Takata recall. All land rover/jaguar5.0 engines from 2010 to 2013 are affected by timing chain tensioner guides. This was an engineering error on oem equipment. Timing guides are made of aluminium and piston on tensioner is steel. Engine will develop a tick/knock. Not addressing the issue will lead to timing issues and engine failures. Land rover/jaguar is aware of the issue and fix is at consumer expense of over $5k. They will install a newly designed guide with a steel "button" insert for piston to rest on. Ive seen posts with issues arising as little as 7k miles. No check engine lights with this issue. This issue should've been addressed as a recall.
Purchased the vehicle 07/10/2020 check engine light came on 8/17/2020 called the warranty company took it to redwood city range rover dealership 8/18 (see below invoice) paid for car rental through that time. Picked up range rover on8/31.check engine light came back on 9/14 (see below invoice) with gas smell took it straight to dealership got another rent a car paid for services 9/18 called carvana and spoke with alex 9/18 to let them know i only had the range rover for 2 months minus the 2 weeks the dealership had it to fix and ihave been having "major" problems with the vehicle. I was told by "alex' (he would not give me the initial of his last name) apologized and saidthere was nothing carvana could do. He stated the dealership probably did something to the gas tubes or loosened something. I told him i wanted to speak with a manager or i am contacting the bbb and the automotive association because the problems i am having with the range rover are not "minor" these were "major" problems and faulty engine, gas, and the other repairs could have been disasterous to my children and my life had it sparked or ran hot.alex said he would have someone contact me. He later called and sent a text a hour later asking for copies of the invoice and said the management team and maintenence is requesting it to look over. I have yet to hear anything else from carvana. During this time the vehicle have been driven on freeway, city streets, in motion, taken to the gas station. (invoices are attached)

Gas leaking from the flange while driving. Flange was replaced. I would like to report this repair as a concern. I have never owned a vehicle that had a gas leak. I lost my sense of smell 20 years ago and would not have know of the gas smell if my daughter had not made me aware of it. I spoke with the dealer about a potential recall investigation on the flange and they were unaware of any recall investigation. This is a very dangerous issue and should be a recall by land rover.
Smell of fuel on the passenger side of vehicle, get noticeably stronger after driving vehicle. After inspecting around the top of the fuel tank i found fuel squirting out of the fuel filter/pump which is seated in the top of the fuel tank. I had gone on line to assisted me in tracking down the issue and found this is a common reported issue. My vehicle only has 111337 miles on the odometer and i noticed a lot of these reported issue are for land rover vehicles that have around the same milage.
There is a strong smell of gasoline in the cab of the vehicle. A private mechanic said the 2011 models are known to have issues with the gas tanks.

While driving vehicle straight on a 2 lane road, suddenly had to swerve left to avoid a car coming out of a parking lot without looking - and without any warning the power steering totally failed - and i could not pull the heavy truck back into the lane - and almost had a head on collision!!more disturbing is the fact that upon inspection, land rover and the local dealer, land rover main line in pa, admitted this happened to another customer - but have no idea why this happened and can not assure that it is repaired!!!this is a dangerous issue! there may be other unsuspecting drivers on the road in 2011 range rovers who may have a head on collision if this happens to them because the wheel is very, very heavy to turn without the power assist steering - and - when not expecting that sudden loss of power assist - the recipe for danger is heightened!

I was driving on the highway at 65 miles per hour and all of a sudden the rear roof spoiler flew off and hit the car behind me. After doing some research i found this problem to be common. I was surprised to see that there was no recal for it as it is a very serious hazard to all drivers near when it happens. If the weather was bad it could have caused a deadly accident.
While driving on the freeway, the rear top spoiler cap flew off completely. I am aware of 4 recalls on this particular vehicle and this is one of them. I would like all 4 recalls to be fixed. Need to be contacted asap to take care of these recall issues.thank you

At 55 mph traveling on ga highway 17, the rear spoiler spontaneously detached from the frame. A piece of the spoiler surrounding the rear camera sheared from the bulk of the spoiler and was left dangling from the automobile.i was able to find the spoiler in a ditch fortunately not being hit by vehicles behind me.i called land rover of hilton head, spoke with, and drove the auto to the service manager, thomas. He toldme that he had never seen or heard of this and it must have been my fault for bumping the rear window on a garage door ( note no marks noted as reflected in later note from same dealership). (also note the spoiler and rear camera are mounted much lower than the rear window when open and thus not susceptible to alleged cause.multiple calls to dayna, customer service representative at land rover n.a.no resolution.return trip to service department with another service person revealed his findings, included and attached. He stated this was not uncommon and showed me a report from another vehicle 3-4 months previous at the same dealership. Pleasenote that on other vehicles including mercedes 2016 e series recalls for similar problems for inspection and replacement. The service department has neglected the seriousness of this issue.had anyone been following me, a serious accident could have occurred, especially with a motorcycle.resulting damage and possible deaths would then have been directed toward me personally and land rover of n.a. I have include multiple communications, names, pictures, etc to show the inherent danger in the admitted failed adhesive problem.simply reading the second service persons evaluation shows their knowledge of this danger.i have multiple phone calls and three emails to further document. I believe immediate action should be taken on these spoilers to prevent potential deaths

I have an id number 10984367 but believe the documents were not uploaded.these are important documents recognizing hilton head land rover was aware of other rear spoiler detachments other than mine.please note service manager denied ever having heard or seen of this but service advisor bob robertson said he had just seen it a few months before. I have enclosed the document stating adhesive failure. This is extremely dangerous.i have attempted to handle this through land rover na and the dealership but have had no results.i believe this poses a danger to the public if left unchecked.
