I've hired an attorney to pursue the lemon law...any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I live in Fl and you have to have the same problem 3 times, which I did, then they have one more shot at fixing it and it has to be the same exact problem before you can start lemon law. After the 3rd time, my car was running ok, I just lost faith in it and with 2 young kids I didn't feel confident in the car. So I just traded it in. Good luck with your lemon. Is it a landrover that you want to get rid of?

2006 RR Sport HSE Tranny jumping issues by wilson6579
Oct 09, 2006 (4:51 pm)

I live in San Jose, California and have had my RangeRover Sport for 4 months and have 9k miles on it. When I first took delivery of the truck, the tranny would jump after coming to a complete stop. Even at acceleration it sometimes jumped. I was told there is a software upgrade that is required to fix the issue. I had the SW upgrade done and it fixed the issue. I took the truck in to get the cooler box replaced as it went out and after getting it back it now jumps again!! I called the dealer today and made another appt to take it back in to get it fixed. Apparently there were several SW upgrades to fix the issue. This will be the 3rd time I have taken this in on the same issue. If LandRover doesn't fix this issue I will take action on the lemon law! Nothing like buying a $75k SUV and having these kinds of issues!! Other than that I love the truck... I would hate to get rid of it
 
If you buy one don't get BLACK! It is impossible to keep clean. Next time I would get white.

I get as much as 17 MPG on the freeway, but around town 14-15.

PING PING PING - exhaust sounds underneath my Sport by eljuan

I am so angry I can't put it into words... Like some of you, my car has been making a pinging sounds that sounds like the range rover sport is cooking popcorn underneath the hood. I tried to trade it back and get a new car and the dealer said it is "normal" and would go away after 2k to 6k miles.
 
Funny how a Hyundai dealer would give you a new car and apologize profusely for the flaw while Land Rover claims it is part of the car's experience...
 
Of course, Hyundai's cost way less and have a 10 year warranty.
 
I thought this was a luxury car? And people wonder why Asian car companies are thriving while Ford (Land Rover parent) is facing financial dire straits?
 
What can we do about this ticking sounds? Simply unnaceptable for a luxury car - or any modern car.
 
PLEASE.

I have had my RRS since May 06 and it now has 5k miles on it and the same PING PING sounds have not gone away. I have taken in it twice for that reason and have been told by the master mechanic it is normal. First time they said it would go away after about 3k miles. It didnt. Second time they told me Jaguar and Land Rover engines are known to have this sound and it may never go away but it is just "normal". I have never had any car do this to me. I do not believe it is just the exhaust cooling down. Its definitely different. It is unacceptable that a $70k vehicle should do this. Has anyone been able to fix this problem?

You are going to get rid of a 70,000 dollar vehicle because of sounds from the exhaust exspanding and contracting???
 
You guys are way too picky just drive with your windows up. I have probably worked on and driven more cars then either of you two combined. That noise is a common noise on many different vehicles that sometimes goes away and sometimes does not.
 
It seems to be espescialy common on cars with long exhaust systems where the majority of he exhaust is directly exposed to the outside air.

Haven't been able to fix it, but I wasn't overly concerned about it either.
 
It does this on my 2006 LR3 HSE (v8) with 1500 miles on it...
 
If it's still doing it at 5000 miles I may mention it, but it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the vehicle, and it's relatively (IMHO) minor as an annoyance.
 
Now, if they could only get my roofliner to stop rattling, that would be perfect.

Happy to be rid of it by hilbee

After reading about all of these problems with these very expensive automobiles, I am so happy I got rid of it. I too feel that they don't treat you very well at the dealerships, they should be apoligetic and instead they get nasty with you when you complain about your problems.
