ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

3 injured · fire

I purchased this Range Rover in November of 2022. The vehicle was serviced once at the dealership for wind noise on June 26, 2023. The vehicle was parked at my home for a week while our family was on vacation before I returned on August 10th, 2023. It was not driven during this time period. On August 10th, 2023 I came out of the house to drive the vehicle and remotely unlocked the car and sat in the vehicle. One of my children's cars was parked behind me, so I got out of the car and took another vehicle to run a quick 20 minute errand. I returned home and went inside the house. Shortly thereafter the Range Rover caught fire under the hood on the passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle

SEATS

3 injured

Seats are electric in the rear and do not have any sensors if someone is sitting in them. The seats will fold and crush occupant. We have had 3 incidents leading to minor injuries with different children where the child will inadvertently hit the seat folding button and get injured. This occurred for the 3rd time when my business partner borrowed the vehicle this last weekend for a ski trip and his [XXX] son's arm got stuck in the seat. Happened to me with my [XXX] daughter who was only not crushed because of the car seat. Also, my CFO, [XXX] has borrowed the car, and his [XXX] son got injured with it.

ENGINE

1 injured · crash · towed

After coming to a complete stop at an intersection, I looked left-right-left before proceeding across the intersection. At the time I began to cross the intersection my vehicle seemingly did not accelerate as normal, causing my vehicle to be hit on the right driver side panel, spun around, and ripping the entire front end of my car off. Injuries were sustained and the vehicle may be a total loss.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

crash

The vehicle does not go into gear in timely way..I put car in reverse and occasionally it stays in drive. Very dangerous to assume your car is backing up but goes forward. It happened to my son also when driving my car. Seems like there is lag time between shifting gears and vehicle actually going into gear. I just spoke to three other owners of my make, year and model of car and they said they have had same issues.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On January 27, 2026, while driving my 2023 Land Rover Range Rover a red warning light came on the dashboard stating "Electric default detected". Following this warning light while driving the vehicle lost power and was unable to drive, steer, or brake. I was able to safely get the vehicle to the side of the road. After having it towed to the Richmond Land Rover of Richmond, VA, the following day the service department indicated the "Epic Inverter/Converter" had gone bad. They also indicated that this is their tenth vehicle just at this dealership of the 2023 Range Rovers that has had the same problem. The fact that the vehicle just suddently loses all power creates a serious safety hazard
