I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR ROOF SPOILER FLEW OFF AND HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE COMMON. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NO RECAL FOR IT AS IT IS A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD TO ALL DRIVERS NEAR WHEN IT HAPPENS. IF THE WEATHER WAS BAD IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT.
My vehicle overheated due to a cracked rear engine coolant pipe. The vehicle is out of warranty and has been inoperable since August 2025 due to repair cost.
My 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE experienced a severe fuse box failure. Fuses F15, F18, and F20 melted, causing wiring damage and disabling multiple systems. This failure appears to be due to a design or manufacturing defect and poses a serious fire hazard, putting the vehicle and occupants at risk. Upon research, it appears that almost every Range Rover Sport (LR3/320) from 2010–2013 suffers from this issue, indicating a widespread, systemic problem rather than an isolated incident. Request: I formally request that Land Rover and/or NHTSA investigate this safety defect and consider issuing a recall for all affected vehicles immediately. I can provide photographic evidence of the damaged fuse box if needed.

The fuel tank strap, also known as a fuel tank heat shield, protects the gas tank from debris during driving and off-road use. The original part number is WFN500021 which replaces WFI500053. Due to the metal chosen to make this shield, and the materials of other parts around it, it suffers from galvanic corrosion. As the tank shield starts to rust, that causes rust in other areas to start as well. The shield on my vehicle has probably about 30-40% of its original life left, and I do fear it falling out at some point and possibly the fuel tank going with it as the mounting points for the fuel tank may be corroded along with the tank strap.

Corrosion of the airbag connector may increase electrical resistance, which could prevent the driver airbag from deploying correctly in the event of an accident. This increases the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The propellant in the driver and front passenger airbags may deteriorate over time. If the airbags deploy, it could result in fragments from the inflator injuring the vehicle's occupants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The idler pulley on the front-end accessory drive (FEAD) belt may over-rotate due to high torsional stress and collide with the oil temperature and pressure sensor. This could damage the sensor and cause an oil leak, creating a slipping hazard for other road users, particularly two-wheeled vehicles. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The middle seatbelt buckle in the second row of seats may have been incorrectly produced. An incorrectly positioned inner cable can lock the belt tongue and prevent correct locking. In the event of an accident, an improperly locked seatbelt buckle can increase the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Cathode damage during production may accelerate battery ageing and increase the risk of fire.
