ENGINE
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.

VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CONTINUOUSLY EMITS MOLD AND MILDEW ODOR EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION USING ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL SPRAYS. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE EVAPORATOR ON RANGE ROVER AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, AND I BELIEVE IT IS DANGEROUS TO OUR HEALTH DUE TO MOLD AND MILDEW.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE 2018 MODEL HAS A SIGNIFICANT THROTTLE DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR FROM A STOP, RESULTING IN DELAY IN MOVEMENT AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING ONTO BUSY ROADS AND WHEN ACCELERATING AT STOP SIGNS, AS IT TAKES 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR REGISTERS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BEEN DEPRESSED, AND THEN JOLTS FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED TO "CATCH UP". TWO LAND ROVER DEALERS (WEST CHESTER PA AND WAYNE PA) HAVE CONFIRMED THAT NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT AND HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING SOLUTIONS FOR MONTHS. THE SERVICE MANAGER IN WEST CHESTER PA CONFIRMED THAT ONE OF THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIANS, WHEN TESTING THIS ISSUE, WAS ALMOST HIT BY A MOVING CAR IN FRONT OF THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR HE WAS DRIVING DID NOT REACT SOON ENOUGH AFTER HE DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. THE WAYNE PA SERVICE DEPT CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS 0.8 SECOND THROTTLE DELAY WHEN TESTING ANOTHER CAR (NOT MINE). I FORMERLY SUBMITTED A CASE TO LAND ROVER JAGUAR OF NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE BOARD WILL GO BLACK SCREEN WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL CONTACT ME WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE. IT NEVER HAPPENED. I DONT HAVE TIME TO TAKE A CAR TO THE DEALER EVERY WEEK. IT IS A NEW CAR. I LEASED IT ON SEP. IT WOULD INDICATE MALFUNCTION ENGINE LIGHT LAST TIME. THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WOULD START THE ENGINE AND WOULD NOT SHIFT GEAR. I HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE MANNUALLY AT 5 MILES PER HOUR TO MY HOUSE. THE TOW TRUCK TOOK MY CAR 2 WEEKS AGO TO THE DEALER. THE CAR IS UNDER REPAIRS. NO LUCK AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. TODAY THEY CALLED THAT ARE CHANGING THE FUEL PUMP. WAITING FOR THE PART AND AFTER INSTALLATION THEY SEE IF THE PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED
