Tires · reported Jun 21, 2024
I purchased four Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires (255 / 50R 19 107 W XL front and back) from Costco at 2700 Potomac Mill Circle, Woodbridge, VA on [XXX]. These tires were specifically for a 2009 Range Rover Sport HSE. The odometer reading was 105632 at the time of purchase, and the tires were installed on [XXX]. The present mileage as of today is 118233. However, after a mere 12,000 miles, all four tires are cracked along the bead inside the tire, showing the threads/wire. The tires are all torn in the sidewall at the bead above the inside of the rim edge and are non-repairable. There was no…
Structure · reported Jan 29, 2024
There are KNOWN areas around the A pillar, windshield, and sunroof that leak and allow water to enter the vehicle and pool up in the wiring channels next to the doors, the water causes shorts and corrosion in the wiring which causes faults (Check engine, etc) that the owner is forced to attempt to correct on their own. There are numerous videos made by Land Rover owners over the last 15 years showing the common areas where water enters the vehicle. The average owner is not mechanical inclined and will not pull apart their vehicle to search for places where water is entering. Land Rover knows…
Wheels · reported May 15, 2022
Spare tire wheel - no longer holds air. The section of the wheel that holds the "bead" has corroded. I checked another owner's wheel and it had similar corrosion. I believe it is systemic. I tried to buy another spare tire wheel from Land Rover and it was backordered.
Air Bags · reported Mar 9, 2018
The air bag light does not go out, and the dealer claims there is nothing wrong with the air bag, however it failed the state inspection due to the air bag isdue.
Service Brakes · at 105,000 miles · reported Nov 16, 2017
Front brake line hose failure..brake went all the way to floor. I was stopped, put car in reverse, foot still on the brake, all the sudden my foot went to the floor. I pumped brake but still to the floor. When brake pedal was to the floor the car would stop. I know to keep pressing brake to the bottom but another driver may not and have no brakes. Car is at the dealer right now getting it replaced. Having worked on cars for years there is no excuse for a catastrophic brake hose failure on a 105,000 car that is 9 years old.
