2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Electrical System Problems

Vehicle experienced sudden and complete shutdown while driving immediately after crossing railroad tracks. Dashboard warning displayed “battery failure.” Vehicle would not restart and would not shift into neutral, leaving it immobilized in traffic. Police department called and traffic was managed by 2 police officers. Vehicle was stuck on roadway and required manual override procedure (unknown to owner) to shift into neutral before being pushed off roadway. Vehicle was towed 250 miles. Dealership has indicated hybrid battery/system failure and ordered replacement battery. Concern: Sudden total loss of propulsion and inability to shift into neutral creates serious roadway safety hazard. If this had occurred seconds earlier, vehicle could have been immobilized directly on railroad tracks. Request investigation into hybrid battery/system failures causing sudden total shutdown without safe-mode capability.

Engine makes noise even after taking to service 3 times with no solution Key remote operation stops working because of bad electronics

The infotainment system system that controls the AC RADIO DEFROST HEATED SEATS, SETTINGS, DRIVEABILITY SETTINGS does not turn on. This is my wifes car and she has to drive sometimes with no defrost while its raining and not AC/Heat control while the weather is cold or super hot in LA. The problem has been diagnosed by the dealer and there has been a recall issued for this specific recall, just not for my vin number. So Land Rover Corporate refuses to fix it or provide any financial help. The car has 45,000miles and we are the original owner. I believe our vin should also be included in the recall of the Land over Sport Infotainment system. I believe our model was not included because it was a diesel and not many range rover sport diesels are in the States,.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN TOUCHING THE DOOR HANDLES, THE CAR DOES NOT START WHEN TRYING TO USE PUSH TO START. GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE STARTED THEREBY STRANDING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY DURING THE COLD WINTER MONTHS.

ALL THE SCREENS (3) WITHIN THE CAR AS SUBJECT TO FREEZING, OR COMPLETE FAILURE. THIS INCLUDES THE MAIN SPEEDOMETER SCREEN, THE CLIMATE CONTROL SCREEN, THE ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN, THE BLUETOOTH FUNCTION, THE LANE CHANGE ASSISTANCE WITHIN THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS. THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT IN ALL RANGE ROVERS, RANGE ROVER SPORTS AND VELARS, AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT HAS EXISTED FOR OVER 2 YEARS YET LAND ROVER CONTINUE TO SELL THE CARS WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE ISSUE TO BUYERS AND AS OF TODAY, HAVE NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, AS CONFIRMED BY LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA. THESE FAULTS CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, WITH NO PATTERN, AND NO WARNING. AS AN EXAMPLE, WHEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SCREEN FREEZES, THE WINDSCREEN CANNOT BE CLEARED IF FOGGED UP AS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS INACCESSIBLE, WHICH CAN BE HIGHLY DANGEROUS IN BAD WEATHER. LAND ROVER'S ONLY ADVICE IS TO "PULL OVER, SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN, WAIT APPROX 10 MINS, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE", WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE ON A FREEWAY ON A COLD DARK NIGHT.
