ENGINE
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!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. LIKE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS ON THE INTERNET, A PLASTIC FLANGE ON THE FUEL PUMP CRACKS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA OF THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE LEAKING FUEL IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FIRE, EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE USING THE FACTORY SUPPLIED VEHICLE JACK, THE JACK FELL OVER AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FALL, PINNING MY HAND IN BETWEEN THE SPARE TIRE AND THE REAR LEFT FENDER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. MY HAND WAS PINNED FOR ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE MY SON AND A GOOD SAMARITAN WERE ABLE TO LIFT THE VEHICLE OFF OF MY HAND. I LATER HAD X-RAYS DONE, WHICH WERE NEGATIVE. MY HAND WAS CUT AND BRUISED, SO I DID HAVE TO GET A TETANUS SHOT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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'T COMING THROUGH THE CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON JANUARY 3, 2014 (FRIDAY) MY YOUNG DAUGHTER AND I WERE ON WAY TO THE AIRPORT TO PICK UP MY SON. WE WERE ON 110 FWY WHEN SUDDENLY A WARNING "WARNING - BRAKE PADS WORN" CAME ON AND DISAPPEARED QUICKLY. I WAS SKEPTICAL, BUT I HAD TO GO AND PICK UP MY SON. BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK OK. I DROVE EXTREMELY SLOW IN SLOW LANE. ON OUR WAY BACK HOME, THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE LOUD METAL GRINDING NOISE EVERY TIME I BRAKED. I ASKED MY BOYFRIEND, ART, TO CALL PASADENA LAND ROVER TO ASK IF I SHOULD HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WE WERE TOLD TO BRING THE CAR ON SATURDAY MORNING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN SATURDAY MORNING TO LAND ROVER DEALER. I WAS ADVISED THAT NOT ONLY ALL THE BRAKE PADS WERE BAD, I HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTOR. I ENDED UP PAYING $1,679.99. DUE TO INSUFFICIENT AND INADEQUATE WARNING, NOT ONLY IT PUT MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF IN DANGER, CAUSED ADDITIONAL UNNECESSARY EXPENSES. I CONTACTED LAND ROVER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT. DESPITE LEAVING MESSAGES, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK TO ANYONE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED. WHAT IF WE WERE ON A LONG TRIP ON FREEWAY AND BRAKES FAIL. WHEN AND HOW WILL I KNOW IF BRAKE PADS ARE GOING BAD. *TR
