This vehicle has terrible battery issues. The battery will never stay charged for more than 2 days without driving it. The battery dies regularly and has left my family and I stranded on multiple occasions. I have had to replace the battery 6 times in 3 years. Each time I purchase a high end battery to try to mitigate the problem, but it persists. The battery starts out great, but over time is worn further and further down. This is an in going issue with many, many people that has never been resolved. This problem needs to be addressed and fixed. This the car my wife and daughter use, what if they are stranded somewhere unsafe because this battery and electrical system is insufficient? Land rover has should fix this problem before it turns into something bigger. Please reference the lengthy consumer complaints here: https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t36280_ds630765 please help us fix this issue.

What 2010 Land Rover LR2 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
This is the 2nd time the rear differential has needed replacement! Very costly and dangerous.
4 days after purchasing the vehicle it broke down due to a leak in the engine, that was fixed. Cost a 1000 to repair, when this happened I was driving home and the car jump and started to smoke so I pulled over and got it towed. After getting the car back, I noticed that the alarm was going off for no reason. All day (it was parked). The only thing that got it to stop was taking out the fuse, but that shouldn't be happening in the first place. I replaced the fuse with a new one yesterday and this morning the alarm was going off in my garage. This car also has battery issues. I didn't drive it for two days and the battery was completely dead. This car is causing me to go into debt due to all the things that keep happening. I have read online that this model and make of this vehicle has these problems. So many people are experiencing this, I called land rover to ask if this was a issue that happens often and they couldn't tell me anything. I don't want to put anymore money into a car that cannot be fixed.
I had to put a solar panel in my vehicle to help with the vehicle from dying. The vehicle is still dead after three days. I cannot take a trip away for more than 3 days without my vehicle dying.
I recently purchased the 2010 lr2 from a used dealership and the airbag light and seat belt light are on. The seat belt works just fine, but the light stays on (even when a passenger is in the car and has their seat belt fastened). I saw that there was a previous recall on lr2's for my year about the airbags and I am worried that they won't function if I get into a wreck because the light is on.
Rear diferential has a very loud noise, there is a factory recall for this and the dealer is not helping, the cost of the piece is 50% the cost of the entire vehicle, and it only has 45,000 km
Rear differential failure. Strong noise comes from the differential which needs to be replaced entirely. Highly distractive while driving at a speed more than 30 MPH.
Battery is dead if vehicle is not driven everyday! Have had 3 batteries in last year!! Does not solve problem!!
I have a 2010 lr2 hse with approx. 59k. Just took it to my repair guy who diagnosed a problem with the rear differential. He referred me to the local dealer to repair. After speaking with the local dealership to make an appointment and realizing that they knew exactly what the problem is with my vehicle, I did some research and see that this is a common problem with this model of car and is a very costly repair. I can't get my vehicle into the lr dealer for more than 2 weeks - however I am wondering why, after reviewing all of the complaints about the rear differential in this make/model of vehicle there has not been a recall on it. I have contacted lr na but do not expect remediation. I am hoping the federal safety agency will look at yet another complaint and provide consumers some assistance in this matter.
Rear differential bearing noise humming really loud. As if there are snow tires on my rear wheels.
