<P> The Range Rover brand has attracted some controversy, particularly from those concerned with the potential negative environmental impact of large, luxury vehicles . In 2005, members of Greenpeace temporarily disrupted Range Rover production at the Land Rover plant in Solihull . </P> <P> In 2004, Spen King criticised SUV owners who drove their vehicles in urban areas, saying that vehicles like the Range Rover he created were "never intended as a status symbol but later incarnations of my design seem to be intended for that purpose ." </P> <P> In 2014 it was reported that Range Rovers could be opened and started using hand - held equipment readily available from eBay . High levels of theft rendered Range Rovers not insurable . </P> <P> Range Rovers, according to AutoTrader, "can be complicated, costly vehicles, and are loaded with very expensive parts ." Reliability issues are common complaints . J.D. Power rankings for the Land Rover are in the lowest category - known as "The Rest" - for quality overall, dependability, sales satisfaction, and customer service, with the cars only earning a "Better than Most" rank in the performance and design overall category . The Land Rover brand has "a legacy of quality problems" and ranks "at the bottom of the J.D. Power reliability ratings for three - year - old vehicles". The JD Power 2014 U.S. Customer Service Index (CSI) study ranked Land Rover last in overall customer satisfaction . However, one Motor Trend review of a 2014 Range Rover after 22,830 miles (36,741 km) turned up only two things that went wrong with the car . According to an automotive journalist, "Land Rover doesn't care about JD Power ratings because it doesn't need to care" since people "still line up for months to pay full sticker ." </P>
