There needs to be a firmware update to the transmission shift logic or at the very least if a door is sensed as open automatically place vehicle in park. Backstory....I've owned this vehicle for 2+ years and have mistakenly placed the vehicle in reverse (via the dodge ram style prndl selector). When this happens I usually catch it before I exit the vehicle. Admittedly it has happened and I've almost been run over by my own car. This is a hugely dangerous issue.
While driving door the highway my drivers side passenger door came open with my daughter in law in the rear seat as well as my 6 month old grandaughter. When this happen..the screaming and hollering from the back seat caused my, the driver, to slam on brakes and pull to the shoulder hitting a safety guard rail and damaging my rear bumper. Land rover representative said they could not assume responsibility and told me to contact my insurance company for repair.

The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, after driving over a small bump in the roadway the contact briefly lost control of vehicle and lightly grazed the divider. The contact then became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. The contact was able to regain control of the vehicle and safely pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. There was no warning light illuminated.
The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for an unrelated repair, the mechanic discovered that the underbody shield located underneath the vehicle to protect the fuel tank had deteriorated severely, exposing the fuel tank. The shield was the original part and functioned as a skid plate for the undercarriage; however, due to the corrosion, the fuel tank was no longer protected. The dealer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired.
