“I had to put a solar panel in my vehicle to help with the vehicle from dying. The vehicle is still dead after three days. I cannot take a trip away for more than 3 days without my vehicle dying.”Owner report · Electrical System · Jul 2019
“I recently purchased the 2010 lr2 from a used dealership and the airbag light and seat belt light are on. The seat belt works just fine, but the light stays on (even when a passenger is in the car and has their seat belt fastened). I saw that there was a previous recall on lr2's for my year about the airbags and I am worried that they won't function if I get into a wreck because the light is on.”Owner report · Air Bags · Mar 2019

“Rear differential failure. Strong noise comes from the differential which needs to be replaced entirely. Highly distractive while driving at a speed more than 30 mph.”Owner report · Power Train · Apr 2017
“My 2010 landrover lr2 with 70k miles, started making loud humming /grinding noises coming from the rear end late in 2016 when driving over 30 mph, I contacted land rover of omaha and land rover of north america for help in resolving this defective issue. The only help I received was a quote for about $9300 to fix it. Which I could not afford. I now have it in an independent shop to replace the rear differential with a used one that I hope lasts for $1800”Owner report · Power Train · Nov 2016
“2010 lr2 with 25,900 miles on it developed a whine in the rear end. Dealer says the rear differential needs to be rebuilt/replaced for $2000+. Slightly out of warranty by age (but not by mileage). Dealer say's warranty will not cover, however it appears there are many many other cases for the lr2 that have the same issue. However, it does not appear that land rover north america or the dealer is interested in dealing with this issue, despite the fact that it seems to be a pervasive issue. It seems there should be a recall on the rear differential issue to resolve the problem.”Owner report · Power Train · Jun 2016
“Loud whine/growling sound coming from drive train at all speeds. Grew louder over a period of two weeks. Had to have the rear differential replaced at only 35,890 miles due to bearing failure.”Owner report · Power Train · Jan 2016

Specifically, the steering geometry, which was adjusted, the castor, camber, king pin inclination, toe in/out on turns and the rear wheel. The inspection report showed all safety, handling and driveability line items were in proper working order. However, the consumer continued to hear a noise and feel a pull to the right side . The consumer stated based on the noises, she was convinced, there was something wrong with the suspension.”Owner report · Steering · Jan 2014

The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the module for the passenger side air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileages were 53,000. ..updated 07-17-13 *bf”Owner report · Air Bags · Apr 2013
“I have a 2010 land rover lr2 which is equipped with a heated windshield. The windshield has the electric heating unit running vertical throughout. I noticed that as you are driving the vehicle for a period of time the electric elements become a distraction because there is not a clear view through the windshield. I believe that this can become a safety issue. Please investigate before I end up having an accident or someone else does that owns a land rover lr2. *tr”Owner report · Visibility · Apr 2010
