What 2013 Land Rover LR2 owners say
Air bags
Takata recall upon turning my car on the front passenger seat airbag warning indicator light has appeared. I'm aware that when the driver and/or passenger sits in the front seats of the vehicle a seat belt reminder sensor appears. This sensor triggers a warning light and an audible chime to remind the driver and/or passenger to fasten their seat belt. However, my car only reminds/chimes for the driver seat. The sensor does not trigger when there is an occupant in the passenger seat. I'm aware that other Land Rover makes/models have had recalls due to air bag issues. I'm concerned that the make/model of my car has the same problem. …
Vacuum pump failed causing no boost from the brake booster, complete loss of vacuum assistance in the braking system. This condition resulted in hard feel to the brake pedal. Vehicle braking was very difficult, vehicle ran through a red light before coming to a complete stop on a city street. (similar Land Rover recall #p052) no communication available with occupancy sensor control module, air bag light stuck on and apparently May or May not be working. My dealer is trying to make me pay for this repair. (similar Land Rover recall #p052)

2013 LR2 base model lurched and engine rpms surged for no reason while driving it also dies at slow speeds, and delayed cranking. Had irregular fuel pressure readings, suspected faulty fuel pressure sensors. After sensor was replaced, still had trouble and Land Rover ended up replacing my engine at 51000 miles, on a car that was 2 years old. Service notes also say," b open camp q511 camp campaign parts # 45835 recall delayed at this time? Not sure what that means? Now, my SUV value is diminished because it's "true miles unknown" on carfax, and the axel boot broke...what is next?
