DANGEROUS LAND ROVER TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. A KNOWN AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH LAND ROVER VEHICLES HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AS A RESULT OF FAILED REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND RESEARCH. THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAINS ON 2010 LAND ROVER VEHICLES. OTHER VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. MANY COMPLAINTS ARE IN EVIDENCE ON WEBSITES, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE BEING ORGANIZED, AND MANY EXPERT ARTICLES WRITTEN. HTTP://ROBISONSERVICE.BLOGSPOT.COM/2019/08/TIMING-CHAIN-PROBLEMS-2010-NEWER-JAGUAR.HTML DESPITE THIS, JAGUAR LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA HAS IGNORED A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND WORSE ACTUALLY PROFITS FROM IT. DEALERS REPAIRING THESE VEHICLE ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. CONSUMERS ARE PAYING FOR NEEDLESS AND INEFFECTIVE REPAIRS, AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION PERSISTS WHICH COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC HARM. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ENGINE DESIGN FAULT. IT HAS BEEN ALLEGED THAT LAND ROVER KNEW OF THIS CONDITION AT THE TIME THE VEHICLES WERE SOLD. IF A TIMING CHAIN SKIPS THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE A DISASTER ACCORDING TO EXPERTS I HAVE CONSULTED.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT A 2010 SPORTS RANGE ROOVER FROM AUTOBAUN IN SAN DIEGO CALIF 92120. I DAY I TOOK POSSESSION OF IT SEVERELY OVER HEATED WITHOUT ANY SAFETY LIGHTS COMING ON. WE PULLED OVER THEN SLOWLY ADVANGED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE MILES AWAY. AT THE DEALERSHIP AND BEYOND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE AND THE COOLANT SYSTEM HAD BLOWN AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS $35,000. THE SALE MAN HAS A FELONG CONVICTION FOR ROLL BACKS AND ALSO FOR DRUG LAUNDERING SO HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED A DEALERS LICENSE. THEN ENGINE IS BLOWNS TROTTLES BLOWN AND THERE IS SOME COOLANT SIBSATANCE NOTED IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. DEALER AMAR SOLD ME A WARRANTY REPRESENTING IT WOULD FIX ANYTHING FOR TWO YEARS. THE WARRANTY SERVICE SAID HE SOLD ME A LIMITED WARRANTY AND THAT SINCE IT HAPPENED ON DAY ONE AND THERE WAS A MICKEY MOUSE REPAIR OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM ATTEMPTED THAT THE DEALER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE FAX REPORT SHOWS A DIFFERENT DESCRIBTION OF THE VEHICLE THEM THE ONE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. OWNER REFUSES TO REFUND MONEY, SEND ME REGISTRATION NOR INVALID WARRANTY MONEY. CAR ENGINE IS SHOT. NO WARNING LIGHTS RE HOT , NEED FOR SERVICE OR ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. MY SON'S FRIEND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONE AND ONE HALF HOURS WHEN HE THEY NOTICED STEAM COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHCILE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOTHING UNTIL THE STEAMING. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROPRIATELY 60 MPH WHEN IT STARTED STEAMING. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL OF THE CAR FOR NO WARNING LIGHTS, COOLANT SYSTEM OR ENGINE OR TROTTLE PROBLEMS? I LATER OBTAINED INFORMATION THAT THIS CAR WAS SOLD AS A GREY COLOR YET THE CAR WE HAVE IS WHITE?

SERVICE BRAKES
AT RIGHT AROUND 59K MILES I HAD MY ENTIRE BREAKING SYSTEM UPGRADED. NEW HIGH PERFORMANCE CALIPERS, ROTORS, AND PADS. ALL RANGE ROVER PARTS, DONE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AT 63K MILES THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK STARTED TO HAVE A TERRIBLE SQUEAKING AND SQUEALING METAL ON METAL SOUND AT SPEEDS BELOW 30 MPH THAT WOULD IMMEDIATELY STOP IF I TAPPED THE BRAKES BUT AS SOON AS I WOULD LET OFF IT WOULD START AGAIN AS IF THE CALIPER WASN'T FULLY OPENING. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER DID A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT WHERE THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE EVERYTHING. I PICKED IT UP A WEEK LATER, THEY HAD TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE PADS ROTORS AND CALIPERS. I DROVE IT NO MORE THAN 10 MILES BEFORE ALL OF THE BRAKES WERE MAKING 10X WORSE NOISE. AGAIN STOPPING AS SOON AS YOU TAPPED THE BREAKS AND STARTING AGAIN IF YOU RELEASED. I LOOKED AT THE BREAKS TO NOTICE THAT CALIPERS CLEARLY WERE NOT BRAND NEW AND THE WHEELS HAD BEEN COVERED IN BREAK DUST IN THE 7 MILES I HAD GONE FROM THE CAR WASH WERE I HAD CLEANED THEM COMPLETELY. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE NO ONE COULD KEEP STRAIGHT WHAT HAD/HADN'T BEEN DONE. I BROUGHT UP THAT THE CALIPERS CLEARLY VISIBLY WERE NOT REPLACED AND THE OTHER SERVICE MANAGER SAID "OH THEY PROBABLY JUST MEANT REPLACED THE SLIDES WHEN THEY SAID THAT" NOW THE CAR IS BACK IN FOR MORE WORK WITH NO ESTIMATE ON WHEN IT WILL BE DONE.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2010 RANGE ROVER SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING STOPPED FUNCTIONING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY DASH BOARD WENT DARK AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. WE COMPLETELY LOSS CONTROL OF THE CAR WITH A TOTAL SYSTEMS FAILURE. TWO ACCIDENTS WERE NEARLY AVOIDED. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO REEVES IMPORT MOTORCARS FOR INSPECTION, INVESTIGATION AND TESTING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE CAUSE. REEVES HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 6 DAYS AND STATED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THE SUDDEN DASH BOARD AND ENGINE FAILURE. ADDITIONALLY, ON MANY OCCASIONS REEVES CONFIRMED THAT THEY CHECKED KEY ENGINE FLUID LEVELS INCLUDING OIL AND FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS SATISFACTORY. REEVES PROVIDED A LAND ROVER MULTI-POINT INSPECTION REPORT WHICH DIRECTLY LISTS THE OIL FLUID LEVEL AS "OK." FIVE DAYS AFTER REEVES GAVE US BACK OUR CAR IN JUNE, THE RANGE ROVER SHUT DOWN AGAIN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WE TOWED IT TO ANOTHER LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND REPAIR SHOP TWO HOURS AWAY FROM AND THIS DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT MY RANGE ROVER ONLY HAD 3.5 QTS INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 8.1 QTS. THIS NEW LAND ROVER REPAIR SHOP ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ANY OIL LEAKS. WE WERE TOLD THE LOW OIL LEVEL LOCKED THE ENGINE UP AND NOW MY CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS WHETHER AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, INCLUDING FAULTY OIL WARNING LIGHTS OR SENSORS, CAUSED MULTIPLE FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS TO MISS THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A DANGEROUSLY LOW OIL LEVEL. HAS THIS TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE PRESENTED IN ANY OTHER LAND ROVERS OR RANGE ROVERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE ELECTRICAL AND/OR ENGINE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO BE HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY, VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT
MY SUNROOF ON MY 2005 LAND ROVER LR3 HAS SAME ISSUES AS BELOW THAT WAS ON A PREVIOUS RECALL ISSUE OF A 2008 LR2 LAND ROVER RECALL NUMBER #08V055000 THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITH A SUNROOF. FAILURE OF EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT HAND SIDE SUNROOF GUIDE RAIL CAN OCCUR WHEN THE SUNROOF IS OPERATED. EXCESSIVE STRESS CAN DEVELOP IN THE OVER-MOLDED BRACKET WHICH COULD LEAD TO CRACKING DURING NORMAL SUNROOF OPERATION. IF CRACKS OCCUR AND PROPAGATE IN A CERTAIN AREA OF THE GUIDE RAIL, FRAGMENTS OF THE PLASTIC OVER-MOLD MATERIAL MAY DETACH FROM THE GUIDE RAIL AND OBSTRUCT THE OPERATION OF THE SUNROOF. THIS IS NOT A PART IN WHICH YOU NEED TO BRING IT IN AND SERVICE PER THE SERVICE MANUAL TO PREVENT MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN, AND THE CUSTOMER CAN HAVE CAUSED THIS THEN NORMAL USE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, EQUIPMENT
I TOOK MY 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER INTO LAND ROVER TO BE SERVICE BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY SAID IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT WAS THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD, THE VACUUM HOSES, AND SENSOR THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. SO WE HAD THEM REPLACE THE MANIFOLD, HOSES AND SENSORS. THE SERVICE MANAGER KEEP NARRATING THAT IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION. WE PICKED UP THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AGAIN THE SERVICE MANAGER ASSIST IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR IS RUNNING PERFECTLY. AS SOON AS I WENT ABOUT 2 MILES MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO LAND ROVER THE NEXT DAY IRRITATED. THE CAR SPENT 5 DAYS AT THE SHOP TRYING TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. WHICH WAS INDEED THE TRANSMISSION, THEY DIDN'T OFFER TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION BUT TO REFUND THE MONEY AND PUT THE OLD PARTS BACK IN. WHICH WE AGREE TO UNLESS THEY GUARANTEE IT WOULD BE IN THE SAME CONDITION. IT WAS MAKING MORE NOISE THEN BEFORE, 2 WEEKS LATER THE TIMING BELT BROKE. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. ITS DOESN'T MAKE SINCE HOW THE ENGINE, THE TIMING BELT, THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD ALL FELL AT ONCE. THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING AND STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY. *TR

MY 2002 LANDROVER FREELANDER IS NOW DEAD. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 8 YEARS THE CAR HAVE EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER ONLY 8 MONTHS OF OWING A BRAND NEW OUT OF FACTORY VEHICLE. NOW ABOUT 5 YEARS LATER THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMS I NEED ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN %50,000 MILES. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE LEMONS. I HAVE REPLACE ALL THE WINDOW REGULATORS EXCEPT THE REAR DOOR WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACE BUT BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT PROBLEM I HAVEN'T BOTHER. THE COOLING SYSTEM IS ALWAYS HAVING PROBLEMS. MY GOODNESS. *TR

THE ODOMETER IN MY 1997 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90 BLINKS AT 135000 KM AND IT STOP SHOWING THE NUMBERS. NOW I CANT READ HOW MANY KILOMETERS I DRIVE THEREFORE I M WORRY ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DRIVE TRAIN. I M AFRAID BY NOT KNOWING HOW MANY KM I M DRIVING MAY LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE AS I MAY NOT CHANGE ENGINE OIL AT THE REQUIRED INTERVAL RESULTING IN COSTLY REPAIR. *TR
