Car jumped forward while coming to a stop. Almost hit a child crossing in the crosswalk. Also happened numerous times coming to a stop at the off ramp. Engine idles very rough, high pitch idle, and RPMs surge up and down on their own. Dealer won’t believe us. They don’t want to use resources to fix what is covered by warranty. This car is a danger to drive. Has also stalled unexpectedly. Dealer only looks for software update and warning lights. We’ve never had a warning light and updates do absolutely nothing. Forums show others are experiencing the same thing. Dealer said they cannot spend that amount of time to find the problem. This is a liability and major safety issue that Range Rover needs to be addressed. Car has 9000 miles. Car shutters and bounces. RPMS unpredictable and car has idling issues. Please help -we don’t want to hit someone because the car unexpectedly lunges forward.

I HAVE HAD OVER 8 INSTANCES WITH EITHER THE LOWER SCREEN, UPPER SCREEN OR BOTH SCREENS COMPLETELY BLACKING OUT AND BEING INOPERABLE. LANDROVER HAS HAD 4 ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT UNSUCCESSFULLY WITH LANDROVER CORPORATE INVOLVED. IN ADDITION, THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS DIP DOWN IN REVERSE AND DID NOT CORRECTLY RESET THEIR POSITION ONCE IN DRIVE SO I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY IN DRIVE IN EITHER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. THE SCREEN ISSUES HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS. IN ADDITION I LOSE ALL CONTROL WHEN THE SCREENS BLACK OUT TO CONTROL THE CLIMATE, THERMOSTAT TEMPERATURE, DRIVER MODES, ROCK CRAWL MODE, AND MORE. I SENT LAND ROVER CORP OVER 2 DOZEN PICTURES AND VIDEOS DOCUMENTING EACH TIME IT OCCURRED. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED IN JANUARY 3 WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND THEY'VE CONTINUED THROUGHOUT FEBRUARY AND NOW ARE STILL CONTINUING INTO MARCH. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CORPORATE ASKING FOR A CORPORATE BY BACK UNDER THE LEMON LAW WHICH WAS DENIED. I PAID 97,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE ONLY THING THEY OFFERED WAS ONE MONTHS FREE FINANCE PAYMENT OF $993. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!

1EA26003 · Front Steering Knuckle Fractures
Opened Apr 24, 2026 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Steering:linkages:knuckle:spindle:arm
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is upgrading its Preliminary Evaluation (PE25006) of front steering knuckle fractures on model year (MY) 2014 through 2017 Range Rover Sport vehicles to an Engineering Analysis. ODI opened PE25006 on June 27, 2025, after receiving 12 Vehicle Owner's Questionnaire (VOQ) reports of the front aluminum steering knuckles fracturing in these vehicles. The reports describe the fractures occurring at the joint where the steering knuckle attaches to the upper control arm ball joint in one or both steering knuckles. Fracture of the front suspension knuckle can lead to detachment of the upper suspension arm. Detachment of the upper suspension arm results in the driver’s inability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. ODI reviewed information supplied by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in response to Information Request letters as well as reviewed the data with JLR on numerous occasions. ODI further reviewed relevant data on a peer vehicle with a significantly similar steering knuckle design, the MY 2014 through 2017 Range Rover. Much of the information is contradictory and requires a deeper analysis that is available in an Engineering Analysis. On August 5, 2025, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) filed safety recall 25V514. This recall covers certain MY 2014 and all MY 2015-2017 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. The remedy for recall 25V514 addresses knuckles with and without a visible fracture. Knuckles that have developed a visible fracture will be replaced with a new knuckle of a substantially similar design. Knuckles with no fracture visibly present will have a brace attached to the upper portion of the front steering knuckle. JLR states that the purpose of the brace is to prevent the component from completely separating should a fracture develop. NHTSA continues to receive allegations of fractures occurring in the front steering knuckles of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. Two of the most recent VOQs received by ODI involve front steering knuckle fractures occurring on MY 2020 and MY 2021 Range Rover L405 vehicles. ODI will continue to investigate the component design and assess the potential safety risk as part of this Engineering Analysis and evaluate the recall remedies for Recall 25V514. Further, the scope of this Engineering Analysis will be expanded to include MY 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles as they have a substantially similar component design.
