Problem overview

Some Land Rover Range Rover Sport owners report experiencing sudden engine failure due to overheating, particularly around 85,000 miles. This overheating can occur without warning and may be attributed to several factors, including lack of coolant flow caused by low coolant levels, a malfunctioning water pump, or a clogged radiator. Additionally, owners have noted common issues such as air suspension failures, coolant leaks, and electronic problems affecting the infotainment system. Other frequently reported concerns include worn-out brake pads and discs, as well as issues with the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. Overheating may also manifest after driving for 20 to 30 minutes, especially when accelerating uphill, indicating potential cooling system problems. Given the vehicle's mileage, it is crucial for owners to consider their maintenance history, as regular servicing and prompt attention to overheating warning signs can help prevent serious engine failures.
