“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was approximately 27,300. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for software updates months after it was purchased. A technician performed software updates and informed the contact of a mileage discrepancy. The scan tool displayed an approximate mileage of 45,000. The contact had not driven the vehicle in several months, and the mileage could not have increased while not being driven.”Owner report · Electrical System · Aug 2025
“I had I issue with my car shifting from Drive to neutral itself. Complained a couple of times about it but they said there is no code for that. One year after they said they have a code for them. A week after they reprogrammed it, on day I was parking at the driveway and my brakes didn't work neither my forward collision warning or my Automatic Emergency Braking.”Owner report · Service Brakes · May 2023
“On several occasions the vehicle shifted by itself from D to N. Leaving you stuck until you shifted into P then back to D. This is scary and potentially dangerous. Dealer has only a service bulletin, so if you complain they can hopefully fix it. But, this is dangerous should have a recall.”Owner report · Power Train · Nov 2022

“I purchased a Range Rover Velar on 8 January 2022. Since then, it has switched from drive to neutral without prompting on 6 occasions. Most recently 24th March, 30th April, 8th April, 10th May and 23rd May. I took it to the dealership in February spoke with service advisor and he told me it's a known problem. They cleared some codes and this is still happening. I feel unsafe and this has to stop. While driving today (23rd May), the Velar switch from drive to neutral while changing lanes. My brain and body can not deal with this impending calamity. My sanity can't handle it.”Owner report · Power Train · May 2022
