Structural complaints dominate the 2011 Range Rover Sport's complaint record, with owners most frequently reporting that exterior body components, particularly the front spoiler cover and rear spoiler, detach unexpectedly while driving. Several owners describe discovering the pieces missing only after arriving at a destination, while others report the rear spoiler separating at highway speeds, taking the backup camera with it. The second most common theme involves the fuel system, where owners describe fuel tank heat shield corrosion: the metal shield rusts and reportedly spreads corrosion to surrounding components. A smaller cluster of complaints covers the fuse box, with owners describing melted fuses that disable multiple vehicle systems simultaneously. Separately, a few owners report brake pedal issues, describing the pedal going to the floor before the vehicle slows, sometimes accompanied by a low brake fluid warning light.
