I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES DRIVING MULTIPLE LR4 AND A RANGE ROVER SPORT (I OWN BOTH). IF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE YOU LIGHTLY REST YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL (FOR INSTANCE IN DRIVING IN CLOSE QUARTERS) THE CAR WILL ILLUMINATE MULTIPLE WANRING INDICATORS INCLUDING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, GEARBOX FAILURE, PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, ABS FAILURE, TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE, STABILITY CONTROL UNAVAILABLE AND CRUISE CONTROL UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AND ENGINE REVVED PAST 7K RPM AND THE CAR DECELERATED. "TRANSMISSION FAULT" WAS DISPLAYED AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO COAST THE CAR ACROSS FOUR BUSY LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NON RESPONSIVE GAS PETAL TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED, ALL ERROR/FAULT MASSAGES WENT AWAY AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS INCIDENT.

2012 LR 4HSE STARTED MAKING AN UNUSUAL NOISE AT 47000 MILES. NO WARNINGS OF ANY SORT DISPLAYED. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC 14 MILES AWAY. CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITHIN 1.5 MILES OF GETTING THERE, AND THEN THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON "TRANSMISSION FAILURE". MAJOR CONCERN HERE IS THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, NO TIME TO EVEN PULLOVER - JUST STALLED. ON TOP OF THAT CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (4 YEARS 11 MONTHS SINCE TIME OF PURCHASE, EVEN THOUGH NOT THERE BY MILEAGE). TO MAKE MATTERS WO…

I PARKED MY LR4 IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS ON AN INCLINE. I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION TO WHAT I BELIEVED WAS PARK, BUT APPARENTLY THE SHIFTER DID NOT END UP ALL THE WAY IN THE PARK POSITION. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE USING THE PUSH-BUTTON SWITCH, OPENED THE DOOR AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN ROLLING TOWARD ME. THE DOOR HIT ME ON THE WAY DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, AND I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO JUMP CLEAR OF THE OPEN DOOR INTO THE STAIRWAY. THE CAR CONTINUED ROLLING DOWN HILL, AND THE DOOR, STILL OPEN, HIT THE RETAINING WALL, FOLDING I…
