Coolant leak due to poorly made plastic part above the supercharger. High risk of fire and overheating due to land rover's poor design. OEM unwilling to help.

The engine coolant pipe cross over on top of the engine and the the one in the rear are made of plastic and is a known failure point. One simple search and it is known that its a super common problem that should be recalled and fixed. This is an engineering oversight and cost the car owner over $3000 in repairs if they are lucky to catch it before it destroys the engine.

Consistent coolant leak

20250317ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I recently purchased this car 2-3 weeks ago. The control center screens go out with no rhyme or reason as to why. When this happens, controls of the vehicle are no longer accessible and the safety cameras/safety sensors no longer visible nor alert to pedestrians and other points of collision. This is extremely dangerous when it happens while using those safety features. There is never a warning and it can happen anytime. I can not make it happen, it just happens and when it does, it puts many in

Driving on interstate the coolant level low light went off and started blowing hot steam from underneath the hood the hood. Running 70 on the interstate and now couldn’t see due to the steam. I luckily maneuvered out of traffic and limped to exit. Very easily could have been a 10 car pile up. Got the car to a mechanic and it had a plastic quick connect on a hose break. There are no metal clamps as backup and the mechanic said that these run on very high water pressure and those plastic quick c

My brother in law was driving my 2018 Range Rover (with only 47,000 miles) on the busy highway. Without any warning, the car lost power. He was able to swerve into breakdown lane (thankful he was in right lane). The car was smoking so badly he thought the car was going to explode into fire so he and his wife evacuated the car and sat a safe distance away. Car was towed to the Range Rover Dealer where it was diagnosed. We were told the coolant manifold pipes under the supercharger ruptured

The backup camera fails to display any image on the screen, significantly impacting my visibility while reversing. This issue occurred unexpectedly. Upon contacting the dealer, I was informed there is an active recall (24V023) related to this problem, but my VIN is not included. I believe my vehicle is also affected by the same recall. For reference, Land Rover’s internal recall number for this issue is N778.

In February 2024, my car overheated. There was a large coolant leak in valley from the water pump and outlet pipes and a secondary leak from rear crossover pipe as well. The water pump, water valve, and cooling hoses were replaced, as well as the failed outlet pip and cooling hoses. Coolant soaked belts were also replaced. In August 2024, my car overheated AGAIN. This time, while I was driving in the middle of the freeway. When I took it back, there was another leak from one of the cooling hos

Engine failed at 43k miles. RR would not take apart engine to identify failure. Local RR repair shop (Elite Rovers) claims they see 3-4 dead RR engines per week usually between 60k-80k miles. He thinks it’s a coolant component failure that damages the engine. This many failures per week is not normal. There seems to be a class action lawsuit over engine failure in the UK and Australia—so this is not a small problem. My husband was driving the car when it happened and if on the freeway could

While driving on the freeway a low coolant notification came on. Minutes later we saw what we believed to be our engine in smoke. We made it to the side of the highway before the car became engulfed in steam. Car was towed to Land Rover Rancho Mirage. It was found that lower front coolant manifold had failed what caused the sudden release of steam. This caused engine to overheat and allow coolant to enter the lubrication jacket causing the oil to become contaminated resulting in full engine dama

My family and I were driving home in my 2018 Range Rover Sport, which I purchased in 2019 from Land Rover of Sudbury (Massachusetts). A brief “coolant level low” warning flashed on the dashboard for less than a minute, then promptly went away and never flashed or displayed again. Minutes later, the car started shaking, forcing us to pull over onto the side of the Massachusetts Turnpike. The engine then immediately began smoking. The temperature gauge never went above the midpoint level,
