2025 Land Rover RANGE ROVER SPORT: complaints, problems and recalls

The vehicle headlight at the low beam has a shadow with a notch, causing a distraction during driving. The shadow distracts during driving and takes the attention off the driver, causing hazardous situations for the driver and others around the car. Diagnosed with the dealer and recommended filing a complaint with the manufacturer for design issues. I would like to report to NHTSA for awareness and safety issues - This is a serious issue and could cause collision due to poor design and driver distraction

Passenger side seatbelt was locked so tight during accident it cut off breathing to passenger. After several attempts, I was able to finally release the seatbelt. After the accident and passenger was out of seat, I tried to relatch the seatbelt. I tried moving the seat back to give more room to latch the seatbelt in the loose position however it still 3 to 4 inches away from latching.

The lane assist system causes unintended steering intervention, actively pulling the vehicle toward hazards and off the roadway. The vehicle forcefully steers toward turning lanes, skid marks, and normal road markings, creating a serious safety risk. This behavior occurs at speed and is terrifying and dangerous. The same behavior occurred in a Range Rover loaner vehicle of a different model, indicating a systemic defect rather than an isolated issue. Due to safety concerns, I have been forced to disable lane assist to prevent loss of control.…

Back-up camera malfunctions periodically. They tried to fix it, but it is still happening. When I put it in reverse, it says "cameras not available." It creates a risk for me as I am used to parallel parking using it, or when I am coming out of my garage, among other places and times. It is unpredictable - sometimes it happens several times a day, then it doesn't happen for a few days. There must be a way to fix this for good. It has never happened with several other cars I used for a long time.

As I reached in to remove an object (umbrella) to prevent obstruction, the seat closed on my right forearm and elbow, trapping my arm. I was unable to free myself. The seat would not move, and there w…
