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,.

- I purchased my car in October 2022 and I have had a Coolant level low notification on my dashboard in December 2022. I then filled the coolant myself. - The warning notification showed up again after about 3 weeks in January 2023. I then took it to Land Rover Frisco Service and Parts Center on 1/25/2023 to get it get it inspected. They said they found 'Turbo Coolant Inlet and Outlet Pipes Leaking, Replace Turbo Coolant INLET Pipe and Replace Turbo Outlet Coolant Pipe' (exact words from the service note). - However, the SAME issue came back again after about 6 months, when I call them back for repair - they said I will have to pay it out of my pocket since my warranty has run out. - I asked them how much the cost would be, and they said to diagnose they would charge me $260 and then whatever amount the repair service would cost. As I could not afford it, I started re-filling the coolant whenever the car is giving me the 'coolant low' warning sign. And I have been doing that for the pa

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2019 RANGE ROVER SPORT. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 3/29/2019 AND IN 7.5 MONTHS I ONLY HAVE 4,194 MILES SO IT SHOWS I DON'T DRIVE MUCH. I TOOK MY FIRST ROAD TRIP TO VISIT MY SON AND I MUST SAY I ONLY STOP FOR GAS ONE TIME. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL I GOT NEAR RICHMOND VIRGINIA AND MY LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY COOLANT WAS COMING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR A TOW AND MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO LANDROVER OF RICHMOND. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT A PEBBLE OR ROAD DEBRIS 3CM WIDE HIT THE RADIATOR AND CAUSED THE COOLANT TO COME AND IN TURN FRIED THE ENGINE. THIS IS CRAZINESS FOR A VEHICLE THAT COST $80K. I'M INSURED BY PROGRESSIVE AND MY VEHICLE IS NOW DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE & RADIATOR WORTH $33K. I'M AT A LOST RIGHT NOW.

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.
