Read complaints for LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT (2012)
While driving at night at highway speed the car experienced an electrical anomaly twice, each time causing the headlights, dashboard lights and several electronic functions to go off for approximately 1 second. Head lights and dashboard lights came back on but several electronic functions were inoperable as noted on vehicle warning screen (hill descent function, vehicle stability function, emergency brake assist function ) once vehicle was stopped and turned off these fuctions seemed to reset themselves. Extremeley dangerous situation at high speed morning commute.

Engine jump timing bending valves, recommended engine replacement
On 18/03/2013 5:50 pm, the car lost power & stopped suddenly when i was driving in a shopping plaza. Thank goodness i'm still alive! the car stopped in the front of marshalls (so i have lots of witness). Peoples were trying to push my car to parking lot because the car blocked the traffic but we couldn't move the gear to n. I finally re-started it after more than 10+ times trying. The car was sent to dealer by truck. However, no feedback from range rover yet (23/03/2013), no range rover man cares their customer!!! it's obviously a power or engine big problem. The first time i couldn't start the car was on 14/03/2013, put ranged rover roadside assistance only sent a jump start help to me. But it's not caused by the battery because i restarted it after 10+ times trying. Want to return the range rover junk.
My car at approx 58000 miles had a knocking sound in the engine. Land rover centerville diagnosed it as needing a new tensioner, timing chain and supercharger isolator. The repair was $6200. 2 years later at 84000 miles the vehicle idled roughly and threw a code"performance restricted" along with the check engine light. I drove it slowly to the nearest auto repair shop (5 blocks) where it duplicated the rough idling and code and then the engine proceeded to blow up due to a faulty tensioner that caused the timing chain to slacken and destroy pistons and valves. This is a very dangerous situation that could have caused a catastrophe had it occurred on the highway. I originally replaced the faulty tensioners under the guise this would prevent an occurrence such as this. Land rover states the timing chain should last the life time of the vehicle and i am now on my third one with a 2012 vehicle that has only 84000 miles. The worse part is that this faulty design caused my engine to seize. I am now out 2 very costly repair bills and i have no guarantee the new tensioner and timing chain will function properly. I have investigated the problem and apparently this is a situation landrover is well aware of, yet there is no recall. There needs to be.the only solution is to replace the engine, rebuild it or part the car out as it is useless once this occurs.

The contact owns a 2012 land rover range rover sport. The contact stated that there was a strong odor of fuel inside the rear of the vehicle. Land rover north scottsdale (18100 n scottsdale rd, phoenix, az 85054, (480) 470-7406) diagnosed that the fuel flange needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. The contact planned to have the dealer repair the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 74,228. Consumer stated was repaired fuel leaking was due to defective design/part.
Rattling noise from the timing chain. It is a very well known issue due to the use of substandard tensioning rails and guides.failure of the timing cha8ns causes camshafts and crankshafts to go out of synchronization and lose power, or cause the piston and valves to slam into each other. Land rover issue a tsb 2015 recognizing this issue tsb ltb00474nas3. Moreover my vehicle's vin number fallswithin the aforementioned list.

On the highway, merritt 15 in ct,the car completely shut down, no power brakes, steering, no ability to speed up.engine shut off, all electrical shut off. Luckily i was going slow since my exit was coming up but i lost all ability to control the vehicle in a safe way and if i was going the highway speed it could have ended very badly.

Horn was intermittently not working and has now stopped working completely. Have had fuses checked and was directed that there are known issues being reported online, but land rover in walnut creek is unwilling to check because there is no recall.
