There are 4 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2015 Land Rover Range Roverin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Known Recall Issue: The failure pattern aligns with known manufacturer defect categories involving: •Engine torque / internal engine failure conditions •Cooling system failure leading to overheating Shortly after I purchased my 2015 Range Rover, I started to have repeated and escalating safety-critical failures involving sudden loss of power, engine malfunction, and vehicle shutdown while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle has experienced multiple incidents of complete or partial power loss while in motion, resulting in near-collision events. Despite repeated repairs by authorized dealerships, the underlying defect has not been resolved. The failure pattern suggests a systemic mechanical defect involving engine performance and cooling system integrity rather than isolated maintenance issues. The primary safety concern is sudden loss of propulsion while driving at highway speeds, which has occurred on more than one occasion. These incidents present a significant risk of: •Rear-end collisions •Loss of vehicle control •Serious injury or fatality TECHNICAL FAILURE PATTERN Observed progression of failure: •Oil leakage / burning smell •Internal engine degradation symptoms •Cooling system failure and overheating •Electrical instability •Final engine shutdown / seizure events This suggests a systemic mechanical defect affecting engine integrity and thermal management systems. REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION I respectfully request NHTSA to: 1.Investigate potential safety defects in this vehicle and model year 2.Evaluate whether similar failures are occurring in other vehicles 3.Assess adequacy of existing recall coverage 4.Review risk associated with sudden engine shutdown while driving 5.Determine whether recall expansion or additional safety action is warranted

I HAD BACKED IN TO THE GARAGE AND TURNED THE 'KNOB' TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, I HAD REMOVED MY SEATBELT BUT NOT EXITED THE CAR YET AND THE CAR WENT BACKWARDS WITH SOME FORCE AND BREAKING DIDN'T STOP IT, ONLY AFTER I HIT THE BUTTON TO CUT IT OFF, MULTIPLE TIMES, DID IT FINALLY SHUT DOWN. MY HUSBAND WAS BEHIND THE CAR, GETTING READY TO GET THE GROCERIES OUT OF THE REAR. THIS VEHICLE STRUCK HIM AND WENT THRU THE KITCHEN WALL OF OUR CONDO. HIS LEG WAS STUCK UNDER THE TIRE WHICH THAT WAS TURNING ON TOP OF HIS CALF. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE CAR WAS IN PARK BC NOT ONLY WAS THE KNOB SET AT P BUT ALSO THE P WAS ON THE SCREEN. ONLY CERTAIN BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS CAUTIOUS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF DISTANCE OF EVERYTHING IN THE GARAGE AND TIGHT QUARTERS.
09/06/18 I WAS STOPPED ,WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WAITING TO TURN LEFT BECAUSE THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY, WHILE I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND I HAD TO VEER AND SWERVE TO MISS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. 09/07/18 IT WAS ABOUT 10:50 AM AND I WAS PREPARING TO PARK NEXT TO A STORE. AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK, AGAIN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS THRUST UP THE CURB, ACROSS A SIDE WALK AND THRU THE STORE FRONT. EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, IT WOULDN'T STOP. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND THE STORE MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLOWED ON ITS OWN. IT WAS PLACED ON A TOW TRUCK AND DELIVERED TO THE H&H PREMIER AUTOMOTIVE IN OMAHA. LAND ROVER ENGINEERS AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY ARE INVESTIGATING MY CASE NUMBER WITH LAND ROVER IS 8000569280 I DO HAVE PICTURES IF YOU EMAIL ME I CAN ATTACH THEM TO THAT EMAIL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I'M AFRAID RANGE ROVER WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL BUT SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED IF THIS CONTINUES.
