Seat belt issue: Seat belt to the 2nd row, right door side activating with alternating red (X) and green (check mark) not able to discern that my 10 year old son was in the car. On 12/16/19, the same error occurred with my 9 year old nephew. Once he exited the car, despite no seat belt being in the slot, the alarm kept beeping saying that it was and that it needed to be addressed. Transmission: The car has been "jumpy" in terms of transmission changes since we first bought the vehicle. It has had transmission computer upgrades with the most recent in 10/19 having no effect. It now is shifting out of drive or sport while driving at various speeds on the highway. The D (if in drive) will flash and there is no acceleration capability. Both my husband and I have experienced this event and getting on and off the highway and not being able to accelerate can pose a serious safety issue. I was not able to accelerate while getting on the highway with my son and his friend which could have led to an accident with rear end involvement given that there was a car close behind me trying to accelerate as well. I am not sure if this is the same recall problem that occurred with the 2015 model but Land Rover has been notified of this issue and they have stated they can't find anything wrong when they do the diagnostics. On 12/13/19 I contacted Land Rover warwick ri due to my concerns and was told to not put any more money into the vehicle and to "get rid of it." On 12/14/19, I notified Land Rover of norwell regarding transmission concerns and was told that there were no issues they were aware of. Cape cod Land Rover also was made aware of the transmission concerns and they were the ones that did the last computer upgrade which again did not fix the issue as described. Please assist as the safety of myself and my family is now of concern.
