Common Range Rover Problems

If any car brand has a reputation for being finicky, it’s Range Rover. Luxurious as they are, they often saddle their owners with repair bills that can make the monthly payments look like pocket change. To make matters worse, dealing with Range Rover customer service to find an amenable solution is often fruitless as well, leaving many owners feeling overwhelmingly frustrated and alone.

We’re here to say you’re not alone. We’ve filed plenty of Range Rover lemon law claims over the years, and we know how to bring the automaker to justice. Before you proceed with taking legal action, check out some of the most common Range Rover issues reported by owners. If your vehicle is experiencing any of these mechanical faults, it could be a tipoff that your SUV is a lemon — which means it’s time to call Bad Vehicle and start building your case.

The Most Commonly Reported Range Rover Issues

Range Rover has never been known for their robust build quality, and there’s plenty of both real and anecdotal data to support this. Sites like Consumer Affairs have review after review from those who were burned by their experience owning one of these vehicles, and Consumer Reports still predicts that 2024 Range Rovers will be less reliable than their counterparts from competing manufacturers. Many issues that are reported are not isolated incidents, either. Common complaints include:

Harsh second-to-first gear downshifts
ABS modulator corrosion
Rough idle due to intake manifold leak
Oil leaks
Air suspension woes
Engine bay noises

Any issues that you can’t resolve or are persistent despite trips to the dealer should be fully documented. Having an effective paper trail can only help your case should you qualify to file a lemon law buyback with Range Rover, as it can prove your good-faith attempts to remediate your vehicle’s issues.

When Does a Range Rover Qualify for a Lemon Law Claim?

In most states, a vehicle is eligible for a Lemon Law claim if it meets these three criteria:

It was purchased or leased new from a dealership within the last 24 months.
You have made at least 3 attempts to fix the same problem.
The vehicle has spent at least 30 nonconsecutive days in the shop for repairs.
