We have a 2010 range rover sport HSE which has wheel wobble and vibration from new at 400 miles the suspension collapsed and had 4 other faults we returned to dealership for correction of these faults on collection it still had wheel wobble and vibration but Land Rover now says this is representative of the marque for this car we disagree as we have owned range rover sports from new for the past 4 years we have now issued court proceedings land rover obviously have a problem with their vehicles we are appauled at the way we have been treated

We had the vibration and the wheel wobble on my wife's car MY10 at 60MPH + it went back several times Land Rover could not sort but Stratstones ( all credit to them not Land Rover ) spent ages on it including slacking off the mounts on the suspension , engine and loads of other things changed the wheels, reflashed the active suspension ECU etc but they sorted it off there own back not under warranty no one is really sure what was causing it but the job that made the biggest change was the reseating of all the suspension and engine mounts. It also had faulty break discs at 700 miles which were on recall notice i think ( a duff batch ). Get the AA or RAC to test drive it and do a report then reject the car for refund.

If you do get down to tracking the real fault please keep me informed on PM

PS:- Is the big vibration felt through the throttle peddle ? and the floor near it 2014 5.0SC AB

Gone 5.0 SC

Does the fault happen whilst braking or just driving normally?
Try inflating the tyres to 60 p.s.i and carry out a short journey at a reduced speed (not above 50mph) then reduce tyre pressures back to standard 33 p.s.i front and 36 p.s.i rears and retry
I have had 2 cases of this now and performed this on both cars and they have not returned since.
The cause is slight flat spots on tyres whilst in storage.
If this does not work insist that you would like a substitute set of wheels fitting and retry.
Would be a shame to get rid of such a great vehicle due to a small problem poor quality dealership

True there can always be other faults causing this problem, just stating a concern i have come across.
I only say about the poor dealer as the fault should have been resolved before getting to a point of having to carry out court procedings.
