I contacted Land Rover of Brooklyn and was informed that they will not make the repair or honor the recall.

At the beginning of the year my car started going into limp mode and shutting down. I had it inspected and the purge valve was faulty and I paid to have it replaced in august 2021. In the past month it’s started dying while driving, mostly as I’m pulling up to a stoplight. The engine will sputter and it will completely die while the car is in drive which means I loose controll of the steering wheel even while it’s still moving. I just had it inspected and it’s the same issue, the purge valve I’ve just replaced is stuck closed. So this will be the 3rd purge valve this car has had in a 4 month period. I’m afraid this is going to cause me to have an accident and it’s the same thing over and over so it sounds like it’s a faulty part.

This issue occurred immediately after land rover replace the recalled airbags with a complimentary oil change. My mechanic says the timing chain guides wear pre maturely causing knock in motor which could lead to catastrophic failure. There is an updated timing chain , however this job is 2-4k dollars to complete. The engine had an odd knocking sound but I had no indicator lights to warn me to service it or do anything. Land rover serviced my vehicle and did warn me or make the repairs. Warranty is out. I purchased this vehicle new at over $100,000 to have engine problems after only 8 years is robbery!

Takata recall. All land rover/Jaguar 5.0 engines from 2010 to 2013 are affected by timing chain tensioner guides. This was an engineering error on OEM equipment. Timing guides are made of aluminium and piston on tensioner is steel. Engine will develop a tick/knock. Not addressing the issue will lead to timing issues and engine failures. Land rover/Jaguar is aware of the issue and fix is at consumer expense of over $5k. They will install a newly designed guide with a steel "button" insert for piston to rest on. Ive seen posts with issues arising as little as 7k miles. No check engine lights with this issue. This issue should've been addressed as a recall.

Takata recall. My range rover is a part of the airbag recall and I'm unable to trade-in the car while the recall is open. I need to be able to trade-in the car, as I'd like to purchase a new car.

I was driving down the freeway at approximately 70 MPH when my sunroof exploded for no apparent reason. It sounded like a shot gun went off in my car and scared me so bad I nearly lost control of the vehicle. I literally thought I was being shot at. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I looked around and there was glass all over myself (driver), and the front seats. Most of the glass landed in my child's car seat on the rear drivers side. Thankfully he wasn't in the vehicle. This is a serious problem. I thought at first it was a rock that bounced off the glass on the sunroof, but there was not a mark on the roof of the car. I filed an insurance claim and they are repairing it this coming saturday. In the meantime I have shut the sunroof cover to make sure glass isn'

SAFETY RECALL N623: Gasoline Fuel Tank Flange Assembly Cracking WHY is this recall not showing when I enter my VIN number here? Vehicle was towed back to house November 24th, 2021 after discovering it was leaking gas all over the Walmart parking lot. I have been smelling gas inside the vehicle and on the outside passenger side of the vehicle for almost 2 months! I saw no visible evidence to prompt concern until November 24th. When I called AAA to have the car towed they asked me to call 911 to clear the car from “risk of explosion” before it could be towed. I have been trying to call the Land Rover dealership to get my car in for this repair and they can’t get me in until the end of January!?! How is this acceptable!? I’ve been driving this car around like this for two months.. possi
