I am writing to inform you about a flaw in the automatic door close mechanism on my 2014 range rover sport. After accidentally getting my thumb caught in the door and immediately trying to open the door, I was only able to watch as the auto close mechanism pulled the door closed completely before it would release & crushing my thumb to the point where I lost my fingernail and needlessness to say, suffered severe pain in the process.

The contact owns a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message "Suspension Fault" was displayed. The vehicle started swaying, and hydraulic fluid was leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and it was determined that the hydraulic system had failed due to corroded hydraulic lines caused by the colder climates. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
