2012 Land Rover Range Rover

The dominant complaint pattern for the 2012 Range Rover centers on the powertrain, with transmission and drivetrain failures making up the largest share of reports. Owners describe sudden loss of drive while the vehicle is in gear, accompanied by grinding noises from underneath, often with no warning lights beforehand. A separate drivetrain concern involves driveline slippage, including failure of the parking function. Engine oil monitoring comes up as a notable secondary issue: owners report difficulty checking the oil level because no physical dipstick exists, and the electronic oil level display requires a non-obvious button sequence to access, leaving some owners unaware of critically low oil until engine noise appears. Airbag complaints round out the named systems at two reports, though the specific symptoms described there are sparse. The front suspension also draws attention in isolated reports, with one owner describing repeated control arm replacement tied to wheel instability during cornering.
