The contact’s husband owned a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated while driving at 40 MPH in the rain, she moved into the slow lane as another vehicle was passing her vehicle, the vehicle started sliding back and forth, felt unstable, and was heading towards the median lane. The contact stated that as she extended her body and was moving her dog from the front passenger’s side seat onto the floorboard, the vehicle flipped a total of 8 times and landed upside down.
I was turning into a parking space going approx. 2 MPH when suddenly the car accelerated so fast that it jump onto the curb and hit a tree. Luckily, I did not hit a person or another car. However, my brand new car is now in the body show and is estimated to cost at least $40k. It completely damaged the inside of my car. Its mind boggling to me how the speed all of a sudden went so fast. Note that I do not have the VIN because it is in the body shop.
I have the 2014 range rover with the v6 supercharged gas engine. During a rolling start, such as rolling start to perform a u-turn or merging into a highway, the acceleration is delayed by at least 2 seconds, which is very dangerous. Especially during merging on to the freeway the 2 seconds acceleration lag could send false information to the other cars and made me almost crash for a few times. It should be a transmission or engine management software update to address this issue.
My door locks are failing and land rover / range rover is telling me it has nothing to do with your prior investigation, recall or other. First, I couldn't get my passenger door to lock, then it suddenly started working again. Now, I can't get my driver side to lock, and my passenger is fine. Land rover claims they already updated my "software" but I think it's something much more detailed than that, as there are literally 1000's of people asking on the internet about the exact same problem.
