Transmission & drivetrain
Stopped on main road to perform a left turn, car stopped during the turn and then lurched forward. The car then became inoperable and would not go into gear. Gear selector was not available and car kept cutting out. I could not move the vehicle out of traffic and I had to sit in moving traffic with my hazard lights flashing. Husband came and sat in the car, waited 15 mins, started the car and overruled the car allowing him to move the car off the road and out of moving traffic.
Loss of all driving power. Gave fail code of Battery fail. We relpaced the battwry and still didnt work. Then were told we needed to replace the alternator. Replaced alternator and still failed. Now being told that we need to replace the dc dc converter...we have paid for the part but that part is on back order and we have now been without a vehicle for 6 months
Brakes
On December 17, 2022 I got back in my car from an earlier outing and had no brakes whatsoever. There was no warning, only a warning light afterwards that read something along the lines of "*** brake problem. Still safe to drive." The car is under warranty so I had it towed to Tacoma Land Rover. The brake situation was so dire that I sealed the key in an envelope, warning people there were no brakes. Long story but they determined that the brake failure was caused by a "dead auxiliary battery." I believe they said they replaced the battery but they might have recharged it since I wasn't asked to pay for a new one. If this had happened on the highway, I and others could have easily died. I'm afraid my safety is still at risk because there simply was no warning. I was fortunate that I was downtown late in the evening so there weren't many cars or pedestrians. …
In June 2023, I started my car and I got 2 error messages "Hill Descent Control not available" and "OK to drive with caution stability control not available", then when pressing the brake, it was very difficult to press the brake and stop the car. I took to the dealer and they replaced the secondary auxillary battery. In July 2024, I started my car and received the same 2 error messages and had trouble using my brakes again (same issue as in 2023). My car is again at the dealer, and I am told that the secondary auxiliary battery has failed again, and they can't figure out why. This seems to be a serious and dangerous situation, and I read online that there have been other complaints from other owners. …
