What 2009 Land Rover LR2 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Rear differential problems. Today august 8, 2020 I had to put my vehicle back in the shop and it's the same issue that I had a year ago. I had the same whirring noise and I was told it was my rear differential going out. Got it replaced on march 31, 2019. Fast forward to today same noise same issue. This has got to be a recall issue. Too too many complaints about this exact same issue. This is not a reasonable fix and to have to get the same thing replaced again within a year, unacceptable. Something needs to be done.
Rear differential failure before 60,000 miles. Makes noise while driving. Manufacturer has acknowledged design issue.
Premature failure of bearings, races and gears in rear differential.
Rear end of lr2 started to hum at 62,522 miles. Brought it to land rover dealership and they told me that it was the rear differential and the cost of replacement would be $3000.00 dollars. No vehicle should be this costly at so low mileage and after further research this seems to be a common problem that land rover will not fix. Definetly recall worthy as this is not safe and could be a road hazard. Noise has loudend after a week.
Rear differential is shot under 75,000 miles
My 2009 lr2 VIN: (xxxxx) had 70k when purchased last year. The rear differential bearing has degraded/failed and it making this loud whine or humming noise. There are numerous voluntary recall bulletins #407296 is for 2010 and was dated 8/3/15. No mention of lr2's 2009 and older. It is the same issue. It is a safety hazard and land rover should fix it. There are thousands in need of repair and some have had theirs repaired multiple times. Please help us.

Worn bearings in rear differential at 65k miles. Began to make a humming sound which became progressively louder as it wore. The sound was the loudest between 30-55 MPH. The differential had to be replaced.
Continuing to have endless problems of the battery draining for unknown reasons. When the battery drains too low the vehicle then goes into "crash mode" and I have to have it towed and the computer flashed to have the codes reset or else it's not drivable. It's happened on multiple occasions since I have owned the vehicle.
Second rear differential needing to be replaced after <24k miles. The first was replaced after 68k miles. There is a loud grinding noise coming from the rear of the truck. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they advised what I thought that it was. Land rover will not stand behind the part, tells me that it is over the 1 year warranty period. Too much of this part going bad and an expensive replacement.
