THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS NEEDED REPLACEMENT! VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS.

May 02, 2021

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. STRONG NOISE COMES FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY. HIGHLY DISTRACTIVE WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED MORE THAN 30 MPH.

Aug 09, 2017

REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEARING NOISE HUMMING REALLY LOUD. AS IF THERE ARE SNOW TIRES ON MY REAR WHEELS.

Jun 20, 2017

MY 2010 LANDROVER LR2 WITH 70K MILES, STARTED MAKING LOUD HUMMING /GRINDING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR END LATE IN 2016 WHEN DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, I CONTACTED LAND ROVER OF OMAHA AND LAND ROVER OF NORTH AMERICA FOR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE. THE ONLY HELP I RECEIVED WAS A QUOTE FOR ABOUT $9300 TO FIX IT. WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD. I NOW HAVE IT IN AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WITH A USED ONE THAT I HOPE LASTS FOR $1800

Feb 22, 2017

2010 LR2 WITH 25,900 MILES ON IT DEVELOPED A WHINE IN THE REAR END. DEALER SAYS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REBUILT/REPLACED FOR $2000+. SLIGHTLY OUT OF WARRANTY BY AGE (BUT NOT BY MILEAGE). DEALER SAY'S WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHER CASES FOR THE LR2 THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA OR THE DEALER IS INTERESTED IN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A PERVASIVE ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ISSUE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

3 complaints

THIS VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE BATTERY ISSUES. THE BATTERY WILL NEVER STAY CHARGED FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS WITHOUT DRIVING IT. THE BATTERY DIES REGULARLY AND HAS LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 6 TIMES IN 3 YEARS. EACH TIME I PURCHASE A HIGH END BATTERY TO TRY TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT PERSISTS. THE BATTERY STARTS OUT GREAT, BUT OVER TIME IS WORN FURTHER AND FURTHER DOWN. THIS IS AN IN GOING ISSUE WITH MANY, MANY PEOPLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. THIS THE CAR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER USE, WHAT IF THEY ARE STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE BECAUSE THIS BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS INSUFFICIENT? LAND ROVER HAS SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT TURNS INTO SOMETHING BIGGER. PLEASE REFERENCE THE LENGTHY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T36280_DS630765 PLEASE HELP US FIX THIS ISSUE.

REAR DIFERENTIAL HAS A VERY LOUD NOISE, THERE IS A FACTORY RECALL FOR THIS AND THE DEALER IS NOT HELPING, THE COST OF THE PIECE IS 50% THE COST OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, AND IT ONLY HAS 45,000 KM

Mar 01, 2018

I HAVE A 2010 LR2 HSE WITH APPROX. 59K. JUST TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR GUY WHO DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. HE REFERRED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO REPAIR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND REALIZING THAT THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY VEHICLE, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR AND IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. I CAN'T GET MY VEHICLE INTO THE LR DEALER FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS - HOWEVER I AM WONDERING WHY, AFTER REVIEWING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THIS MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON IT. I HAVE CONTACTED LR NA BUT DO NOT EXPECT REMEDIATION. I AM HOPING THE NHTSA WILL LOOK AT YET ANOTHER COMPLAINT AND PROVIDE CONSUMERS SOME ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),ENGINE

1 complaint

4 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT BROKE DOWN DUE TO A LEAK IN THE ENGINE, THAT WAS FIXED. COST A 1000 TO REPAIR, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR JUMP AND STARTED TO SMOKE SO I PULLED OVER AND GOT IT TOWED. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, I NOTICED THAT THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON. ALL DAY (IT WAS PARKED). THE ONLY THING THAT GOT IT TO STOP WAS TAKING OUT THE FUSE, BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. I REPLACED THE FUSE WITH A NEW ONE YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING THE ALARM WAS GOING OFF IN MY GARAGE. THIS CAR ALSO HAS BATTERY ISSUES. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR TWO DAYS AND THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THIS CAR IS CAUSING ME TO GO INTO DEBT DUE TO ALL THE THINGS THAT KEEP HAPPENING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS MODEL AND MAKE OF THIS VEHICLE HAS THESE PROBLEMS. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS, I CALLED LAND ROVER TO ASK IF THIS WAS A ISSUE THAT HAPPENS OFTEN AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO A CAR THAT CANNOT BE FIXED.

AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS

1 complaint

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 2010 LR2 FROM A USED DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE ON. THE SEAT BELT WORKS JUST FINE, BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON (EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR AND HAS THEIR SEAT BELT FASTENED). I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON LR2'S FOR MY YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND I AM WORRIED THAT THEY WON'T FUNCTION IF I GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON.

STEERING,SUSPENSION

1 complaint

2010 LAND ROVER LR2. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STEERING AND REAR WHEEL PROBLEMS AND REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED EVEN THOUGH THE INVOICE STATED ALL APPLICABLE MEASUREMENTS WERE CHECKED. SPECIFICALLY, THE STEERING GEOMETRY, WHICH WAS ADJUSTED, THE CASTOR, CAMBER, KING PIN INCLINATION, TOE IN/OUT ON TURNS AND THE REAR WHEEL. THE INSPECTION REPORT SHOWED ALL SAFETY, HANDLING AND DRIVEABILITY LINE ITEMS WERE IN PROPER WORKING ORDER. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO HEAR A NOISE AND FEEL A PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE . THE CONSUMER STATED BASED ON THE NOISES, SHE WAS CONVINCED, THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION.

SUSPENSION,SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

1 complaint

OUT OF NOWHERE THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING THESE LOUD, ROARING AND HUMMING NOISES THAT EVENTUALLY TURNED INTO A GRINDING NOISE. FIRST THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE BRAKES; INNER & OUTER BRAKES AS WELL AS THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITH NO CHANGES, NOISES STILL CONTINUE. AFTER THAT; ALL 4 TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH A FULL ALIGNMENT, NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP THE NOISES AT ALL. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM; IT SEEMS THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL ON THIS MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS, THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS HIGHLY AWARE OF. I'M A MOTHER OF SMALL CHILDREN AND MY MAIN CONCERN IS THEIR SAFETY IN THIS MATTER; IF THIS PROBLEM IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE, IT COULD END UP WITH THE REAR WHEELS LOCKING UP. THIS ISSUE IS VERY SERIOUS; BETTER YET, VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN,WHEELS

1 complaint

I STARTED TO HEAR A WHIRRING NOISE SO TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR CENTER (WITHIN 48 HOURS) THAT WORKS ON LAND ROVERS (THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY LAND ROVER DEALERSHIPS IN VT) AND THEY FOUND THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS DETERIORATED (VISCOUS FLUID, METAL CHIPS SHREDDING). THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE - THEY FOUND THAT, WHEN THEY ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART, THE SUPPLIER IS GETTING THIS PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL 4-5 TIMES PER MONTH. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD EXPECT ON A 3 YR OLD CAR WITH THE SUPPOSED DURABILITY OF A LR THAT IS DRIVEN ONLY ON REGULAR ROADS (NO OFF ROAD DRIVING WHICH SUPPOSEDLY CAN BE DONE IN A LAND ROVER). LAND ROVER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS 1) OUT OF WARRANTY AND 2) I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A LR DEALER EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES AS THE NEAREST DEALER IS NOW HOURS AWAY SINCE THE VT DEALER CLOSED 2 YRS AGO AND I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IF I HAD CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL PARTS INSTALLED IN THE LAND ROVER LR2 THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY FAIL. *TR

1 complaint

I HAVE A 2010 LAND ROVER LR2 WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD HAS THE ELECTRIC HEATING UNIT RUNNING VERTICAL THROUGHOUT. I NOTICED THAT AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE ELECTRIC ELEMENTS BECOME A DISTRACTION BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A CLEAR VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE I END UP HAVING AN ACCIDENT OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES THAT OWNS A LAND ROVER LR2. *TR
