“Noticed a loud noise from rear of vehicle while driving. The greater the speed the louder the noise. Dealer inspection confirmed rear differential failing and needs replacement. Vehicle has 38,000 miles and still has the original factory tires. Rear differential failing before original tires are wore out! Potential total failure of rear differential during operation a real safety concern.”Owner report · Power Train · Jul 2018

“I purchased a 2011 lr2 and the bluetooth system is useless at highway speeds. It is hard to hear callers at speeds of 45mph+ and callers often complain that the sound is distorted, or that it sounds like the windows are down. I have taken it in to be looked at by the dealer, but no fix was made. I also contacted corporate land rover and they were no help. *tr”Owner report · Equipment · Jan 2012
