Most reported problems

NHTSA lists 121 owner complaints for the 2014 Range Rover[1]. Three mention a crash and 6 mention injuries[1]. None mention a fire or a death[1]. These are unverified reports from owners.

The complaints are spread over several parts of the car:

Component group Complaints Median miles at failure
Engine[5] 32 56,000
Electrical system[7] 24 24,000
Power train[4] 21 50,000
Structure[3] 18 40,000
Unknown or other[8] 17 46,518
Suspension[9] 14 Not given
Air bags[10] 10 Not given
Fuel/propulsion system[11] 9 Not given

One complaint can name more than one group, and the counts are not adjusted for how many cars were sold. We read a sample of 12 complaint texts for each of the four biggest groups[5][7][4][3]. Some of them come from owners of the Range Rover Sport or the Range Rover Evoque, so a theme may not apply to every version. Here is what owners describe in that sample:

Door complaints in these samples are on the same topic as the door latch recalls below[3][12].

Recalls

NHTSA lists 13 recalls for the 2014 Range Rover[2]. They are below, newest first. Some cover the Range Rover Sport or the Evoque as well, or only those models, so check which one matches your car. Each notice describes a free remedy from a dealer.

Fuel economy

EPA lists several versions under the Range Rover name. The versions in this table call for premium fuel and four-wheel drive[25][26][6].

Engine Model City / Highway / Combined MPG EPA annual fuel cost
3.0L 6-cyl[25] Range Rover 17 / 23 / 19 $4,350
3.0L 6-cyl[27] Range Rover Sport 17 / 23 / 19 $4,350
5.0L 8-cyl[26] Range Rover 13 / 19 / 15 $5,500
5.0L 8-cyl[28] Range Rover Sport 14 / 19 / 16 $5,150
2.0L 4-cyl turbo[6] Range Rover Evoque 21 / 29 / 24 $3,400

EPA also lists flex-fuel versions that run on premium or E85. They show 19 combined MPG with the 3.0L engine[29] and 16 combined with the 5.0L engine[30]. The fuel cost uses EPA's current fuel price assumptions, not prices from when the car was new.

Engine and size

The EPA test car list shows these horsepower ratings for 2014 Land Rover Range Rover entries: 240 hp for a 2.0L 4-cylinder[31], 306 hp for a 3.0L entry[32] and 510 hp for a 5.0L entry[33]. The list labels the last two as "electric motor", so treat them as listed ratings only.

Dimensions below are Canadian-market specifications from Transport Canada, and can differ slightly from US models.

NHTSA data for every Range Rover model year shows 121 complaints and 13 recalls for 2014[2]. Six model years have more complaints: 2003 (128), 2015 (190), 2016 (203), 2017 (172), 2018 (133) and 2020 (143)[2]. Four have more recalls: 2016 (14), 2020 (23), 2022 (17) and 2023 (16)[2].

Next to its neighbors, 2014 is above 2013, which has 105 complaints and 8 recalls[2]. Compared with its neighbors, 2014 has more complaints and more recalls than 2013 (105 complaints, 8 recalls). It has fewer complaints than 2015 (190) but more recalls (13 against 11). It has fewer of both than 2016 (203 complaints, 14 recalls)[2]. Counts are not adjusted for sales, so read these as a rough guide.

Should you buy a used 2014 Range Rover?

Trim to 3 to 5 sentences, for example by merging the two paragraphs and dropping the fuel cost sentence. Each recall notice describes a free dealer remedy, and the suspension knuckle recall is the newest, with owner letters mailed in May 2026[13]. Door latches have been recalled three times, and owners in the complaint sample describe doors opening even after the repair[12][15][18][3]. Gear shifting and sudden loss of drive also come up in the sample[4][7].

If you are considering one, ask for proof that every recall that applies to that exact version was completed, and ask whether the door latch work was done again. Fuel costs vary a lot by engine, from $3,400 a year to $5,500 a year in EPA's estimates[6][26]. This page cannot tell you about repair costs, tires or towing, so a pre-purchase inspection by a Land Rover specialist is a sensible step.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most common problems with the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover?
Engine has the most complaints with 32, then electrical system with 24, power train with 21 and structure with 18[5][7][4][3]. In the complaint samples we read, owners describe sudden power loss, gearbox faults and doors that came open while driving. It is a small sample, not a count of all owners.
How many recalls does the 2014 Range Rover have?
NHTSA lists 13 recalls for the 2014 model year[2]. They cover the front suspension knuckle, door latches, air bags, brake vacuum hose, tire pressure monitor, turn signal warning and more[13][12][19][20][21][22].

Did the door latch recall fix the problem?
The recall list shows door latch recalls in 2015, 2019 and 2020, and the later two say earlier repairs had to be done again[18][12][15]. Some owners in the complaint sample describe doors opening after the repair[3].

Complaints submitted to NHTSA by owners; unverified reports, one complaint can name several components. Complaint counts are not normalized by sales; compare years of the same model, not different models. EPA annual fuel cost uses EPA's current fuel price assumptions, not the price when the car was new. Horsepower is the rating listed for EPA test vehicles. Dimensions are Canadian-market specifications and can differ slightly from US models.
