2006 Range Rover Sport has cost me a lot of money. Replace rear end transfer with 88,000 miles and now the modular. The first repair a hefty $4900. Let's see how mich the next one will be 2 months later. A hyundai last longer and cost much less. I would never purchase or recommend this car to anyone.

we have a 2010 RR Sport. The bluetooth pairs with our Verizon Android 2 phone, but intermittantly, for no apparent reason, the bluetooth disconnects and drops calls. This is not related to service area and does it when talking to landlines as well as other cell#s. Dealer replaced the phone module and insists that the most current software is installed.

Driving us CRAZY!!! any ideas?

Lucky me - I just took delivery of my new RR Sport SC this past Wed. & on Fri. (119 miles later) the transmission went out. I just barely got into the throttle from a stop to beat traffic and I heard a loud "bang" and the car wouldn't accelerate. The engine rev'd up but the car wouldn't move. I let the RPM's drop down and then it seemed like the transmission was engaging and I was able to move a bit. The car got up to about 25mph or so and then I had to slow for traffic. When I tried to get the car moving again, it wouldn't move. That was it - time for a flatbed.

Anyone know what's up or had this happen??

My Sport is now 5 yrs old and has 75,000 mls on the clock. This week I found myself half way across a main road when the transmission failed me. The engine would rev but little or no movement. i found jsut enough to clear the road and wait for the tow in.

On the ramp the mechanic has found the drive shaft to the front off side wheel rotating but not turning the wheel. Obviously a failure in the CV joint/hub on that wheel??
